Porn star considers run against family values senator
Source: Sun Times

BATON ROUGE, La.---- Stormy Daniels strode onstage at a downtown Baton Rouge restaurant in a tight black blouse with a plunging neckline and a knee-length skirt in the popular purple of Louisiana State University. She introduced herself with a warning.

"For those of you who don't know who I am," she told the lunch crowd at The Roux House, "I'd suggest that you don't Google that until you get home from work."

She's a Louisiana-born porn star who says she is considering a 2010 run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican David Vitter, whose family-values reputation was marred in 2007 when his name was linked to a Washington prostitution ring.

Daniels, 30, insists she's serious. She's spending her own money on a "listening tour" to hear what people have to say as she considers a possible run, and said she isn't just starting a publicity stunt to promote her work or embarrass Vitter. However, she said she hasn't lived in Louisiana for seven years -- she currently resides in Florida -- and would need to re-establish residency to run.

Heck, I'd be dying to hear the questions asked of either of them during the debates!

6. Yeah, but I bet she'd spend less on diapers -- not to mention prostitutes.
I mean, with the budget deficits and all, any little bit helps.

10. I'll send her money. The idea is just too delicious! Vitter is certainly
Edited on Thu May-07-09 05:53 PM by MasonJar
much more a sex offender than Stormy. She is honest; she is who she is. Vitter is the worst of all hypocrites. Louisiana DUers, surely your state will not re-elect this phony sex starved loser again. His only voters were probably rightwing Christians. Can't you educate them? I love New Orleans...my favorite city in the world after Paris! I hate to see it represented by such a piece of swarmy slime. Of course keep in mind, I am a Kentuckian represented by the greatest losers of all: McConnell and Bunning. So while I am not condemning your former choice, please now that the word is out, do NOT send him back. Publicize to the backward. We at DU will happily help you, I am sure, with funds and support you need. Even McConnell would not have survived that story and he probably has more clout than Vitter. Actually with the aura of New Orleans behind her, Stormy should make a hell of a run.

16. Republicon Homelanders are having their wide-stance, Diaper-clad Family Values
challenged.

Deservedly so.

For Republicon Homelander Chickenhawks like Vitter, and sooo many others, are truly the Latter Day Pharisees.

21. What's really sad about this is...
Then Vitter would run as the "change" candidate.

23. I have always liked the idea that porn stars are a parody of the inanity of movie stars...
and now we have a porn star who is parodying the inanity of politicians.
Go Daniels!
