After Petraeus scandal, Tampa strip clubs look for more biographers

TAMPA, FL - In light of recent revelations concerning CIA Director David Petraeus’ extra marital affair, several gentlemen’s clubs in the Tampa Metro area have begun looking for female biographers to work in their establishments.

David “Cheech” Robinisi, manager of the Bottoms Up Club on Adamo Drive in Tampa told the Duffel Blog that this was a mark of changing consumer attitudes.

“Let’s be honest. Guys have known for 50 or 60 years the girls were lying when they said they were working their way through college. More likely they were working their way through a few ounces of coke with their boyfriends. But now,” he continued, “I mean what the hell, a four star general doing the nasty with his ‘biographer’ gives the whole thing a little class.”
