Sarah Palin-Impersonating Porn Star Strips for RNC Delegates at GOP-Themed Club in Tampa

[yurbud]

I for one am shocked that it isn't a rent boy dressing up as Sarah Palin for the closet cases of the GOP.

Sarah Palin may be a no-show at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, but, for some delegates at least, it seems her porn star double Lisa Ann is an adequate substitute.

The adult film actress, who has been making bank from her Palin resemblance since 2008, is best known to mainstream audiences from her role as Serra Paylin in the political porn parody Who's Nailin' Paylin?.

A dental assistant by trade, Ann arrived in Tampa over the weekend to perform a GOP-themed strip show at Thee DollHouse strip club on N. Westshore Blvd.

"Sarah Palin is in the house tonight!" Ann — I mean Paylin — exclaimed, before proceeding to remove her business skirt and black corset to reveal the two things that clearly set her apart from the GOP's 2008 VP nominee — her 38DDs.

1. yick

[steve2470]

2. She's probably smarter than the Tundra Grifter ! nt

[lame54]

9. and makes her money more honestly

[steve2470]

12. +1 nt

[hifiguy]

21. +2

She doesn't promise anything she doesn't deliver.

[JoePhilly]

23. hope so ... at least she is doing something useful.

[HappyMe]

25. +3

She will make a pile of cash. Take a nice vacation, put a little by. Good for her.

[bullwinkle428]

32. Not to mention hotter...

[derby378]

41. DUzy!!!

I nominate this sucker now!!!

[AtomicKitten]

56. Truth.

[Contrary1]

61. And she most likely isn't a quitter...

especially in the middle of the job!

[xmas74]

53. She was smart enough to realize

how to make money off of a slight resemblance to someone famous. That's already smarter than Palin.

[Ganja Ninja]

62. Saner too and probably better qualified to hold office. n/t

[cynatnite]

3. That woman is going to make a boat load of money. Good on her. n/t

[begin_within]

4. Are we sure it's an impersonator?

[yurbud]

5. let's see...better looking, probably smarter...

yes, it's an impersonator.

[Raster]

6. Let's see: Boobs, a modicum of talent and a sense of humor.

Nope. Not Palin.

[yurbud]

7. why don't you ever see Democrats doing this with Eleanor Roosevelt?

[Cleita]

14. Buwhahaha!

To tell the truth Eleanor is more attractive.

[Drunken Irishman]

8. She's way hotter than Sarah Palin.

At least from that photo. Maybe it's just the lighting.

[yurbud]

44. Eleanor Roosevelt?

[Cleita]

10. There may be that too in a more private setting

without the publicity. The rent boy scenario that is.

[Scootaloo]

11. I can't help but wonder...

What would Palin herself think if she knew a delegate she wound up speaking to had just watched a Palin impersonator hump a brass pole. I mean I don't give her a lot of credit, but I can't imagine there's anyway that could NOT be awkward.

[Cleita]

17. I know I would be upset about the disrespect shown to me by a stripper

impersonating me if I were a serious public figure. I think Hillary, or any Democratic woman would be too, however, it doesn't seem to bother Sarah as much as criticism of her Katie Couric interview seems to have upset her.

[lunatica]

19. I'm sure Sarah loves being a MILF

I think it would warm her cold, cold heart.

[Blue_Tires]

20. she doesn't give a shit...like the XXX performer, she's laughing all the way to the bank

[maxrandb]

30. You're kidding, right?

Palin's entire candidacy...hell, her entire LIFE...has been nothing but one long "Brass Pole Humping"!

[Berlum]

13. Republican Family Values. As usual.

Shocking. Just shocking.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. That's disgusting in so many ways.

First, it's disgusting that anybody could have the hots over Palin, or her imitator - though we can be damn sure FreeRepublic has been populated for the last four years with zitty, overweight, Cheeto-stained one-handed bloggers whose keyboards have become sticky due to their adoration of Caribou Barbie.

And another really disgusting thing - notwithstanding that Palin was less qualified to be a major party's candidate's running mate than just about any person randomly selected off the street - is that any female selected (even stupidly) as a candidate for high office should be degraded by a stripper impersonating her, or, for that matter, the aforementioned zitty freepers wanking over her in their parents' basements. Even if that candidate is as dumb as a box of hammers.

[derby378]

42. Before you point the dirty end of the stick at Palin...

While I do affirm that Sarah Palin is a self-serving, teabagging, demagogue hack who thought she could wink her way into the White House and who bailed out of serving as Governor of Alaska when the media spotlight got a little too hot, I would venture that if this same person was instead an Obama-supporting, pro-woman, pro-labor, pro-choice, GLBT-supporting Democrat, there would be no disgust if anyone at DU had the slightest crush on her, married or no.

As it stands, however, beauty is only skin-deep - and Palin's mouth has been producing a whole mess of ugliness since 2008. That, to me, is a turnoff.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

46. A "crush" is one thing. But it seems like some of the 'baggers

liked Palin only because they thought she was hot. And yes, if a female Dem candidate had been appreciated only because of her perceived hotness I would be equally disgusted. Much as I dislike Palin I think it's repulsively disrespectful to regard a female political candidate, even a dumb one, as nothing but wank material and the subject of an impersonation by a stripper.

[derby378]

47. An excellent point

But, as Tim Minchin once observed, "We're just fucking monkeys in shoes." As a species, hopefully we'll get our act together one of these days. Until then, I'm afraid we may be stuck with the Lisa Anns of this world.

[xmas74]

54. I'm not disgusted by the stripper impersonation

If someone can make a few dollars in what is a legal profession, good for them. Times are still tough for many of us out here and I'll give her credit for finding a creative way to earn a few dollars.

What is a bit more disturbing is that her biggest supporters seem to be the ones who want to see someone impersonate her while stripping. It shows how little respect they really have for women in general.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

16. Ha ha....Lisa Ann

I wondered if she'd make a trip down there.

[redqueen]

18. There's a Paul Ryan look alike too.

I guess this is supposed to be him?





Also, is the term 'rent boy' pejorative?

[BlueStreak]

22. This is every teabagger's wet dream

[yurbud]

60. that's an unpleasant combination of images--that could put an eye out.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

24. She's a dental assistant?

I need the name of her practice, STAT!

[Marr]

26. That's just bizarre-- and says a hell of a lot about them.

[Ilsa]

49. Yes, it does, doesn't it?

1. For them, it was (and is) always about physical attributes and appearances, like the color of skin.
2. They like to sexualize even the politicians they are supposed to respect and revere. To them, Sarah Palin is just another "gash in a short, tight skirt".

[TlalocW]

27. She also quits 2/3rds of the way into her act

Just to keep it real.

TlalocW

[Ilsa]

48. That's great! Love it. nt

[Blue Meany]

28. Sarah Palin is impersonating a porn star? What an attention whore. n/t

[catbyte]

29. ew

[Nine]

31. I have no love for Palin but this actually makes me feel sorry for her.

Like Michael Steele, she got used and then tossed away. This sure doesn't help Republicans with their "woman" problem. I mean this is how much they respect a woman who was their VP candidate just 4 years ago.

[redqueen]

33. This is the sex industry doing this, not republicans. nt

[hifiguy]

35. She wouldn't have been booked into the club

unless the club, and the dancer, anticipated making a small fortune from the Repuke conventioneers.

[redqueen]

37. She starred in a porn movie before this appearance. You want to claim only republicans saw it? n

[hifiguy]

38. Hardly matters, does it? Tampa is the site of

the REPUBLICAN convention. The crowd is a Republican crowd there to do Republican business. There would be no logical reason for the club to book her if it were the Democrats, or the Elks, Masons or American Legion in town. Who else would pay $$$ to get into a strip joint featuring a Palin lookalike other than Repugs?

[redqueen]

39. Right.

If not for the convention there would be no reason to feel sorry for Palin because the porn doesn't matter, just this one appearance at a strip club. Good thinking.

[hifiguy]

40. The day I feel sorry for a worthless piece of crap

like Palin for any reason is the day hell will freeze over. I don't waste any time feeling sorry for ignorant, grifting, incompetents whose only apparent goal seems to be to fleece as much money as possible from even bigger idiots than herself.

[redqueen]

43. Nine raised the issue of feeling sorry for her, not me. nt

[seabeyond]

50. it would be an issue of opposing misogyny regardless who it is directed at. not about palin

i know it is a tough concept for a few progressives here on du. it is not about palin. it is about taking our women politicians and pornifying them that we should oppose.

[seabeyond]

34. how much "they" respect women? this would be our side and an example how much WE

respect women.

this whole thing is for strip clubs to get free press. the media loves it cause they can get viewership using women. and it is our people that are applauding this.

sexism and worse, misogyny is not a party issue.

[Tom Ripley]

36. At least Lisa Ann works hard for her money

[RC]

45. I read the OP title as

Sarah Palin, Impersonating Porn Star, Strips for RNC Delegates at GOP-Themed Club in Tampa

Oh well, she might given enough money and attention.

[a geek named Bob]

51. wow...

Talk about a way to kill an evening...

[yurbud]

55. ya, ya know as soon as da fargo accent kicks in, so does the shrinkage

which kinda negates da purpuss of going ta the old stripper, don't it?

[a geek named Bob]

58. Strippers don't do it for me.

Something about the whole addiction dynamic really turns me off.

[yurbud]

59. you mean them doing it to pay for their habit or what the visible ravages on their body?

[a geek named Bob]

63. Actually

I was thinking more of the watcher's addiction to various flavors of stripping.

[yurbud]

64. that would be an expensive habit.

[a geek named Bob]

65. As I've only gone to strip clubs when my client was paying

I really don't know how much such would cost...

I can guess-timate, but YMMV.

If a "devotee" of strip clubs goes once per week, and spends:

10 bucks cover
10 bucks for drinks (min)
100 on "tips"

that's 120*52 = 6240

Not a small chunk of change!

No addiction is pretty, or noble.

[yurbud]

66. what kind of client pays for that?!

[a geek named Bob]

67. A client in a wheel chair

I was his driver

[DemocracyInteractive]

52. Something bizarre about this n/t

[MrScorpio]

57. Lisa Ann, you go, Girl! nt
