Penthouse Pet: Peter Kinder creeped me out
Former Penthouse Pet is not a fan of Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder.

Peter Kinder reconnected with a former nude model.
A photograph of Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder enjoying the company of a former Penthouse Pet surfaced last week. In an interview with The Riverfront Times, the model-turned-bartender in the photo says Kinder hounded her when he was in the state senate, and she worked as an exotic dancer. Tammy Chapman, the one-time Guccione girl, says Kinder's persistence and rough manner during private dances led her to ask him to stop visiting the club.
Chapman and Kinder reconnected earlier this year when Kinder showed up at Verlin's, a St. Louis bar that features bartenders who don't wear pants. Chapman, who was working at the bar, tells Riverfront Times managing editor Sarah Fenske that Kinder invited her to move into a condominium in St. Louis that he uses. (She declined.) Campaign-finance records show that Kinder's campaign fund pays for the condo.
Kinder is 56 and has never been married. His permanent residence is in Cape Girardeau. Earlier this year, he got into trouble for billing taxpayers for hotel stays that stretched the definition of official state business. His campaign is paying $1,555 a month for the St. Louis condo, according to records.
Kinder is Gov. Jay Nixon's presumptive Republican challenger in the 2012 election. His fitness for the state's highest office was in question well before Chapman came forward with her claims that he's the kind of strip-club patron who doesn't understand boundaries.
