WTF????? LOL. How will the Mummers (a somewhat strange and amusing name) ever take part in parades after this? I guess they'd be welcome at the GOP Convention...................

PHILADELPHIA—An anonymous tip led to an undercover prostitution bust at the clubhouse of one of the city's famed Mummers brigades, with two club officials and 11 others arrested amid a clubhouse raid, police said Wednesday.

As part of a six-week investigation, undercover officers went Tuesday night to the Downtowners Fancy Brigade, one of the clubs that parades through Philadelphia on New Year's Day, Deputy Commissioner William Blackburn said. The officers were told by a tipster that there were prostitutes at the clubhouse on the second Tuesday of every month.
