Tennessee GOP Lawmaker Says Hooters Job Was Key to Her Success Tuesday, February 08, 2011 By Erik Schelzig, Associated Press
Nashville, Tenn. (AP) - A newly elected Tennessee legislator writes in the current issue of Hooters Magazine that her experience working in the restaurants known for waitresses' skimpy outfits led to her later success in business and politics.
Republican state Rep. Julia Hurley, 29, was elected in November after defeating incumbent Democrat Dennis Ferguson in a mostly conservative district west of Knoxville.
Hurley writes that her experience at Hooters helped prepare her for a run for public office - even when opponents tried to make a campaign issue last summer about her past employment and photos from her modeling career.
"I have taken quite a bit of flack from the public at large during my run for State House in Tennessee for being a Hooters Girl," she said. "But I know that without that time in my life I would not be as strong-willed and eager to become successful."
The link also became a direct benefit to her electoral bid when former regular customers made campaign contribution "without question or hesitation," she said.
The article appears in the magazine's "Orange Pride Spotlight," which features "the success stories of Hooters Girls both past and present." Much of the rest of the magazine is devoted to full-page photos of women posing in bikinis and Hooters uniforms.

At least it was an honest private sector job. It could have been a far more disgusting job. She could have been a lawyer.

They have the most absolute worst food I’ve ever paid for. I’m still waiting for the return of oysters to their menu. They charge like $12.00 for a whole bucket of oysters. You’ve gotta shuck them, but it’s a really great deal. They have not been on the menu since the oil spill.

It's incredible how two-faced you have to be to try and make an issue of a working mother working at Hooters when they are in the same party that supports the mass murder of the unborn and never said a word about Teddy K nailing anything that moves.
