Missouri Republican Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder probably wishes he had kept his mouth shut last winter when he ran into former Penthouse Pet (circa 1992) Tammy Chapman at Verlin’s Bar and Grill in St. Louis, supposedly known for “pantless parties.” But he didn’t, and now Tammy is opening hers, saying that Pete, who had known her back in the day, suggested the two of them shack up in his swinging bachelor pad. Tammy turned him down, but now that Pete is in the news as a possible gubernatorial candidate, Tammy is talking. Even more embarrassing than Tammy’s jive, maybe, is that Pete’s campaign is picking up the $1,500+ monthly tab for Pete’s lonely pad. Dames, eh?
David Catanese at Politico has the short version, while the Riverfront Times gives you the full dump, plus a photo of Tammy in her prime.
Afterwords
This photo, presumably of Pete and Tammy, comes from Politico. If Pete was dumb enough to allow himself to be photographed with Tammy, well, I guess he’s dumb enough to ask her to move into his campaign-financed apartment. At least she didn’t say yes, right?
