Puritanical Missouri state Sen. Matt Bartle finally struck his death blow against the state’s nudie bars yesterday.

After Bartle, a Lee’s Summit Republican, threw a tantrum earlier this week in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (“I’ve grown really frustrated with an overwhelming Republican

Legislature that tells people we support family values and that we’re

social conservatives. And we can’t get a regulation of the porn industry

through the Legislature”), lawmakers rose up against lap dances.

Hey, there are elections coming up! May I suggest a “Tough on Titties” campaign slogan?
