Janet Huckabee ‘Stays in Vegas’ — at Hooters Hotel

(Fox News) - The latest political spouse to attract unexpected attention is Janet Huckabee, who decided to stay in Las Vegas last weekend — at the notably unwholesome Hooters Hotel Casino — rather than travel with her husband and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to the Cayman Islands.

Arkansas’ former first lady apparently wasn’t trying to avoid the sunny Caribbean weather in mid-winter, but instead was attending a middleweight prize fight featuring boxer Jermain Taylor, also known as the “pride of Arkansas.”

The Baptist minister’s wife told The San Francisco Chronicle that she wasn’t expecting the crunch time in her schedule to force her to switch her accommodations from the hotel where the bout was fought to Hooters Casino Hotel.
