Family values in action

From Catch, we have a couple of links about the family values on parade at the Republican convention this week. Vincent Gallo will be gracing the convention after posting a huge billboard demonstrating that he is in full agreement with the family value that a woman's place is on her knees. Sadly, not all GOP delegates value their wives as much as Jack Ryan did. Sure, they can work up the enthusiasm to strengthen the home by taking their wives on a jaunt to the strip club but they can't work up the enthusiasm to get lap dances while there.

But don't get me wrong: Certainly not all of the out-of-towners were lewd. In other corners of the club, family values were on full display. When I approached a man sitting with the Massachusetts delegation to ask him if I could get him anything to drink, he--mistaking me for a stripper--pointed to the lone woman in the group and cried, "That's my wife!"

Apparently, he didn't get the memo. As Steve Gilliard points out, from the line-up of speakers at the convention tonight, adultery is a family value.
