Porn Star Flirts With La. Senate Run

Sure, it may be a publicity stunt – but if so it’s working.

Next week, porn star Stormy Daniels launches her “Listening Tour” across Louisiana. The star of such films as “Operation Desert Stormy” will appear in Baton Rouge on Tuesday and New Orleans on Wednesday in order to “meet with Louisiana men and women and listen to the issues and concerns they struggle with everyday” and gauge a potential run against Sen. David Vitter (R.).

The untraditional path into politics for Daniels, a 29-year-old with no party affiliation at present, began in February when fans launched the website DraftStormy.com to encourage a run.
When POLITICO spoke with Daniels at the time, she seemed intrigued by the idea and said “I wanted to take over the world and I guess ‘senator’ is a good place to start, right? I’ve been handed a golden opportunity and I should take advantage of it.”

Daniels hopes that her career as a porn star (and producer, writer and director) won’t prove much of a hindrance, since Vitter has some sexual history of his own: In July 2007, his phone number appeared in the published phone log of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, AKA the “D.C. Madam.” Although Vitter never outright admitted specific wrongdoing, he did issue a written statement:, admitting to “a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible.”

Vitter, who came to the Senate in 2004, was elected to Congress in 1999 to fill the seat Rep. Robert Livingston (R) resigned after Hustler publisher Larry Flynt claimed to have evidence proving the then speaker-elect had engaged in several extra-marital affairs of his own.

    I think Vitter has been a little nervous lately. Every time I write to him he writes back in lightening speed and he sent out a mass mailing (snail mail) to Louisiana residents to clarify that he didn’t vote yes for the stimulus bill…

    What a great country.

    So a RINO lost to a comedian. If a RINO loses to a porn star, I’ll admit the RINOs are in trouble as a party. Maybe it’ll teach them to become more conservative.

      Maybe it will teach them to leave the party and act like the Democrats that they really are.

      :arrow: Maybe it will teach them to leave the party and act like the Democrats that they really are.

      That would be a circle jerk/bukake party with Barry, Nancy, Harry & Barney in the middle as cum-queens.

    Why not? Washington is one big brothel anyway.

    If this works for her, Monica Lewinsky missed a sure Congressional seat opportunity back in the day.

    Remember LA voters, there will be only one ‘Lewinsky’ given per vote. Her time is limited and she has a great deal of campaigning to do.

    • DesignR

      Of course I meant La. (Louisiana) not LA voters! God forbid anyone would associate the Porn industry with Los Angeles!

  • anonymous hourly worker

    There is no possible way she could out-stupid the current administration, so I say go for it.

    “Washington is one big brothel anyway.”

    That’s the best analogy I’ve heard in a while.
