Report: Sessions held funder at questionable locale

Maybe this won't be such a bad cycle for the Democrats after all.

With the RNC reimbursement scandal still reverberating, a story out Wednesday touches on GOP fundraising at a questionable locale in Las Vegas.

From U.S. News and World Report's Paul Bedard:

_{What they've turned up is a couple of fundraisers held by Texas Rep. Pete Sessions a while back. He currently runs the National Republican Congressional Committee, the top fundraising and candidate recruitment operation for House Republicans.}

_{A House aide called the fundraisers old news and events that happened before Sessions took his leadership position.}

_{At worst, one of the fundraisers, held in 2007, was at a Vegas burlesque club, Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce. FEC papers show Pete PAC spent $5,378 at the burlesque club, which also that year hosted porn-star Jenna Jameson's 33rd birthday party.}

_{Our old pal Mary Ann Akers who writes the Sleuth column for the Washington Post's website also wrote about another more low key event at a racy Vegas club called Tao held in February 2009.}

_{Is there a theme here? Democrats snicker yes and plan to make it a campaign issue in the fall.}
