After revelations that he racked up $1,462 in Chicago strip club charges on his government credit card, one of Will County's most prominent municipal leaders found himself on the defensive Tuesday.

Though Mike Smith, the president of New Lenox, reimbursed the village for the charges with a personal check, he conceded he made "a very, very bad mistake. I can't say anything else about that; just very poor judgment.

1. $1500 bucks buys a lot of lap dances

The family values party strikes again...

2. ...and a little more.

[katty]

13. so how much is a lap dance these days?

5. The lap dance was barely the tip. How much did the taxpayers pay

for the whole shaft?

3. he concedes to "very poor judgement" and a "a very bad mistake"

He needs to concede that he and a ton of other republican party members are nothing more than a pack of perverted hyproctrits when it comes to "christian" family values?

6. I like the way they always say

"very poor judgement" and a "a very bad mistake" after the fact.

[NI4NI]

10. Yep! Always after fact of gettin' caught!

12. I'm surprised he didn't say...

It was also a youthful indiscretion. After all, he was younger yesterday than he is today.

4. On a govt credit card? Big no-no, time to at the very least fire

the guy. But wait! He'll probably get a promotion! :rofl:

7. Ah, the party of morals and values strikes again!

8. "Very bad mistake. Very poor judgment." Here is my read on it:

Just like Cheney's shooting of Whittington, this was probably a judgment lapse induced by consumption of beverage ethanol. It is hard to imaging that an un-impaired mind would even consider using a government credit card for such a purchase. Of course, the male "brain" does strange things after long confinement behind a zipper or under a repressive religion.

11. Bwahahahaha!

9. Are people such as the ex-president of New Lenox trying to get caught?

A modicum of discretion is customary in such endeavors, Mr. Smith.
