Dems make asses of themselves at Donkey Cabaret
Democrats were in fine form last night at the Roaring Donkey Cabaret and Competition 2010, a display of skits, songs and fleeting displays of comedic talent at the Ameristar Casino.
A fundraiser for the fun-loving Clay County Democratic Committee, the night was emceed by former Republican, current Missouri Attorney General and glamor boy Chris Koster, who looked hot in his tuxedo and jokingly flirted with event co-chair (and performer) Jane Quick.
Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, campaigning for the retiring Kit Bond‘s senate seat, stopped by to deliver a Top Ten list of things overheard on her opponent Roy Blunt‘s tour bus. Number 1: “Since we’re in Kansas City, let’s take a detour over to Leavenworth to visit my old friend Jack Abramoff.” (Ha! But, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Abramoff is actually in the pokey in Cumberland, Maryland.)
U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver and a backup band that included Kansas City Mayor Pro Tem Bill Skaggs and state Rep. Trent Skaggs serenaded party matron Dutch Newman in a karaoke version of “My Girl.”
And see if you can guess which of these Elvis impersonators is Kansas City mayoral candidate Mike Burke:
