Ban-Sexy-Cheerleading Pol a Democrat; AP Deletes This Embarassing Information

Personally, I don't think this idea is really all that outrageous. If Bill Maher has said one true thing in his life, it's that liberals are all wet about kids just being "little adults" to be treated as such.

They're not little adults. Different rules apply, and different rules have always applied. And if teenage high school cheerleaders are now bending over and shaking their asses and seductively grinding, well, that's not really appropriate for high school kids.

'Sides-- it's not like you have to sexualize cheerleaders. I grew up with just the saddle-shoes and skirts and stiff, robotic choreography, and I could barely keep my head from exploding over that fairly tame fare.

But in any event, this is obviously the sort of story that can be used to demonstrate that the GOP is the anti-sex party, and a bunch of crazy religious zealots, and just basically people who are no fun at all and ruining things for the rest of us.

Trouble is, that narrative doesn't quite work, as the lawmaker suggesting a ban on high-school freak-cheerleading is a Democrat.

An earlier AP version of the story noted this; the current version does not.

Why?

Three guesses, and if it takes you all three, let's be honest, you're a salivating moron.

Thanks to Eric for the tip.
