Dario and the Strip Club Owner

This is Dario Herrera. When I came to Las Vegas on October 1, 2002, he was a Clark County Commissioner, a heavily-favored candidate for a U.S. congressional seat, and a rising star in the Democratic party. In fact, earlier that summer, as a visitor to Vegas, I had read an article predicting that he would one day be a vice presidential candidate.

A little over a month later, thanks to ethics allegations regarding a company that employed his wife, he lost the congressional election by an overwhelming margin to a then-unknown Republican.

Oh, but that was only the beginning for this guy. While he was County Commission Chairman, he met strip club owner Michael Galardi, who decided it would be fun and profitable if his establishments were delivered from pesky rules and regulations. To that end, he started paying Dario for favorable votes.

In addition to money, Dario was given whatever he wanted at Cheetah's Strip Club; and apparently he wanted lapdances and blowjobs. Yes, the strippers sucked his cock. Two of them have already testified in court that their boss, Michael Galardi, instructed them to take one for the team in the form of stepping up to Dario's mic.

Oh, I should have been a politician. No one ever says to me, "Todd, we would like our product to be displayed more prominently in this store. Candy from Scores will now swallow your salami." Yeah, Dario got caught and is looking at jail time, but the blowjobs, man...the blowjobs.

This is a "sucking" story Todd. Thanks for sharing.

Don't worry there'll be plenty more blowjobs in his future. In the big house.

Doesn't that image make you feel better?

Blogger AMS said...

uuugh no it doesnt!

I'm almost thinking you have the moral capability of BEING a politician.

All for a blowjob, Todd. C'mon. We expect more from you....oh, wait.

No, we don't.

I was going to say the same about getting more blowjobs on the inside, but he'll be the one giving them this time.

It amazes me to think that people actually think they'll get away with this kind of thing. If they're so smart to come up with this 'grand plan' then surely they're smart enough to know they'll get caught....

Dario had kinda got a soft, cute look about him, he'll do fine in the big house and be very popular I'm sure.

But I know Toddie, the blowjobs!

;)

He'll be giving them soon - in PMITAFP.

Blogger dizzy von damn! said...

wait, blowjobs aren't part of the job description?

are you kidding me?

He can still get those in prison.

Blogger Ubermilf said...

Yeah, everybody said that already. Figures.

nick,
better than a lousy French one, that's for sure.

steph,
that may be one of the reasons you're popular, babe.

claudia,
you don't get service like that at McDonald's.

monkey,
well, one of them was from Saved By the Bell...it was the girl who played Lisa.

vast,
there was some hanky panky on the golf course, huh?

vixen,
they may have had a Bill-Hillary "arrangement", but when he got busted I'm sure that flew out the window.

egan,
I'm edjutaining the blogosphere.

chris,
from conjugal visit. He'll end up in a white collar gated Hilton.

ams,
sometimes it does.

fritz,
are you questioning my morality from reading a blog? I expected more from YOU.

cherry,
I think when you involve strippers, many of whom are stupid, drug-addled, bitter humans, things are bound to go badly.

rachel,
once again, I don't think he'll end up in much of a prison.

awe,
damn, it should be.

jj,
what?

sole,
you're a smart guy. I don't think you would have been caught.

kendra,
you aren't a stripper, are you?

ubie,
at least you didn't comment again on the fanny-pack post.

And "Hi" right back at ya.

I love the hipocrysy in this country. You get a knob-job for a few favorable decisions, you get your life ruined and dragged through the mud. You lie to start a war so your rich buddies can profit at the expense of American troops and our security, you get the fucking yokels putting your picture praying with Lincoln and Washington while the Christian Right proclaims you a savior!!
