"For Strippers Near Ground Zero, It’s Business as Usual Amid Mosque Uproar," writes Andrew Grossman in the Wall Street Journal. He interviews Chris, a stripper at the Pussycat Lounge. The Pussycat Lounge is one block south of the site of the World Trade Center. "The front entrance of the strip club ... offers a clear view of the ongoing construction at the World Trade Center site," he writes.
Chris, the stripper who volunteered in the Ground Zero recovery and who had eight fireman friends die in the tragedy, says “They’re not building a mosque in the World Trade Center." And, "The people who did it are not going to the mosque.” And, “I don’t know what the big deal is. It’s freedom of religion, you know?”
I wish Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin were as wise as Chris the stripper. I wish they had as much respect for the constitution.
