Politics becomes giggle-worthy


I had to laugh at an unexpected consequence of the Republican National Committee's expenditure of almost $2,000 at a risqué Hollywood nightclub. The Hill reports:

The porn star who has toyed with a run against Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) announced today that she is becoming a Republican.

Stormy Daniels has been considering a (joke?) campaign ever since Vitter was linked to the "D.C. madam" in in 2007. But back then, she was a Democrat.

Now that the RNC has patronized a lesbian bondage themed club in Hollywood, Daniels says the GOP is the party for her.

"It is time again to inspire positive risks and out-of-the-box thinking in the interest of growing a strong economy and a strong America," Daniels said in a tongue-in-cheek press release. “For me, this spirit can be summed up in the RNC’s investment of donor funds at Voyeur."

She continued: “As someone who has worked extensively in both the club and film side of the Adult Entertainment Industry, I know from experience that a mere $1900 outlay at a club with the reputation of Voyeur is a clear indication of a frugal investment with a keen eye toward maximum return."


There's more at the link.

I regard both our major parties with equal distaste and distrust: but this is one of those genuinely funny moments, irrespective of one's political outlook. One hopes the RNC can take it on the chin and respond with equal tongue-in-cheek humor!

Why not? After all, the Italian "adult film" actress seems to have done a good job as a member of the Italian parliament. And Ms. Danials is refreshingly honest about what sort of favors and exchanges she participates in, unlike certain of the current incumbents.

Since our elected representatives are already bending us over, it can only be a good thing to have a professional doing it!
