A tattooed stripper sings as she strips to her G string, and yells out to the crowd. ” Any of you presidential candidates looking for a good time, see me after the show.” A drunken Hillary campaign aid called out to the stripper and said, “Hey babe take me away from this place!”
State fairs are great places. For two weeks people gather and greet each other as farmers look over livestock and seeds, while carnies yell out their games and shows on the Midway. There was nothing more fun for a teenage boy, than to walk down the Midway watching strip show, after strip show , as the ladies all paraded their wears on the outdoor stage, to tease you out of a dollar admission, and a tip. This is no different than what the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates are doing. They are all charging admission and a donation. The rumor is that for a twenty dollar donation Carly and Hillary may give lap dances.
State fairs always had strip shows and freak shows, where regular freaks can get a job for looking weird and strippers don’t necessarily need to be pretty, they just need to strip. Also there are always strange looking animals with two heads or snake with two heads and tails. The Fat Lady isn’t popular anymore because so many people are fat today. I haven’t been to a state fair for several years but little has changed. The Midway is still lined with Food vendors, games, exhibits for farm equipment, a few new car dealers showing off their latest trucks. And no fair would be without the horse pull or oxen pull, or truck and tractor pulls.
State Fairs are good places to meet people for politicians looking for votes. In Iowa the people who attend the fair get a chance to see who and what these presidential hopefuls really are, and realize they are the same as other Carnies selling their shows,games, wares, and rides on the midway. For a few dollars fair goers can buy a coupie doll, a stuffed animal, or a presidential candidate.
