Stormy Daniels, the former porn star who has been debating whether to run for Senate in Louisiana for what seems like decades, says shell make her decision April 15. More important, she announced Tuesday that if she does run because apparently she hasnt had enough time to ponder that decision shell do it as a Republican.
Take that, David Vitter!
We can thank Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele for Danielss rightward turn. She was a registered Dem until the infamous Voyeur nightclub incident, she said.
While this decision has not been an easy one, recent events regarding Republican National Committee fundraising at Voyeur, an L.A.-based lesbian bondage-themed nightclub, finally tipped the scales, she said in a statement. For me, this spirit can be summed up in the RNCs investment of donor funds at Voyeur. 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 $1,900 outlay at a club with the reputation of Voyeur is a clear indication of a frugal investment with a keen eye toward maximum return.
She added: As is the case with so many of my fellow Louisianans, I have been a registered Democrat throughout my life. But now I cannot help but recognize that over time my libertarian values regarding both money and sex and the legal use of one for the other [are] now best espoused by the Republican Party.
