LA-Sen: We’ve Found Our Porn Star!

Several weeks ago, I posted an interesting rumor regarding a possible porn star primary opponent for David “Diapers” Vitter as the good Senator enters his reelection campaign in 2010. Well, look no further, because someone(s) have found their pornstar:

Draft Stormy for US Senate has been set up by independent individuals not associated with any party in order to draft pornstar Stormy Daniels to run in the US Senate race in Louisiana. The fact that Stormy is from Louisiana indicates that whoever set up their website did their research and wasn’t just some two bit fan of her movies.

How serious is Ms. Daniels considering a run for political office? She is planning a “listening tour” around the Bayou State, and if that doesn’t convince you, check out the what passes for a serious interview she did with CNN’s Rick Sanchez:

All I can say is at this point in time, if a pornstar is able to have the time to do a “listening tour” around her home state listening to people’s concerns about the economy and other issues, and a sitting US Senator is hiding under his desk afraid to talk about family values, then said Senator has a serious problem.

Not necessarily from the pornstar challenging him, but from the actually serious candidates that start to emerge from the swamps of the Big Easy when they realize Vitter is becoming more of a dead duck by the day.

  1. there’s a senate race that captures the imagination of the internet crowd.  Rick “Frothy” Santorum, Ted “Series of Tubes” Stevens, and now David “Diaper” Vitter.

    I think Vitter is in for the same fate as the first two.  If not at the hands of Stormy Daniels, then it will be by someone like Charles Melancon or Don Cazayoux.

  2. Vitter is the youngest Republican in the US Senate (born 5-3-1961) besting John Thune by four months.  They are the only two under fifty. (Fwiw, the youngest Democratic Senator is Kirsten Gillibrand at 42. Gillibrand, Casey, Klobuchar, Bennet (CO), Begich, Lincoln, and Pryor are all under 50 for the Democrats.)

    We need to defeat the scandal plagued Vitter now lest he plague the people of LA and the US for another twenty or thirty years.

  3. She has the potential to draw continued attention to Vitter’s hypocrisy and sleaziness – both inviting primary competition from the right and weakening him for a strong Democratic candidate.

    Of course this election may turn out to be the ultimate test of Edwin Edwards’ famous maxim about what it would take to for a Louisiana politician to be defeated in a sex scandal: “The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy..”. That was 25 years ago — do we think that a self-proclaimed “family values” politician like Vitter will fare any worse for being caught with diapers and a live prostitute?  

  4. Someone, somewhere is a genius for coming up with this idea.

    I’m really curious, who’s behind it–Democrats or perhaps a Republican primary opponent or some other angle that’s not occurring to me?  Will she run in the R primary or as an independent?  Maybe she can pull a Lieberman and do both!  I’d love to see Vitter debate Daniels.

  5. The prostitute also says that the only reason Vitter stopped seeing her was because she has the same real first name as his wife.  I guess Vitter and his favorite lady of the night would even talk about marital issues.

  6. Primary election?

    Also, what about Mitch “The Blade” Daniels?

    In seriousness, though, is she running in the R primary?

  7. Paraphrasing her: It tells you something when people would be favoring her over Mr. Vitter to fill a seat in the U.S. Senate.

    Also, when the interviewer was comparing Vitter’s situation to Spitzer’s, noting that Spitzer lasted for “a cup of coffee” before leaving office but Vitter is still around, I immediately thought: “LARRY CRAIIIIIIG.”
