Stormy Weather Ahead

I like to follow the news just as much as the next person if not more so. My twitter account is filled with mainly political pundits (left wing, I’m biased I know) and news accounts such NY Times. Well, something caught my attention when scanning the ol’ twit this morning. A headline from The Huffington Post titled “Louisiana Porn Star Expected To Announce Whether She Will Jump Into Senate Race”.

Um …. What?

Okay, so Vitter hasn’t been doing that great for Louisiana. He’s one of the many politicians involved in a sexual scandal. But is a porn star really that great of a replacement? Her profession alone causes some concern for me. Did she ever go to go college? What is her background in politics? Pretending to have sex with a political official in a movie? That does not a Senator make.

I watched a clip of an interview where the news anchor asked what her political stances were and she’s all about porn rights. Of course. Why would we expect anything more? She wants to have stronger restrictions on children being aloud to view adult pornography sites and she wants a crack down on child porn. I’m not saying that these things aren’t important, because they are, but coupled with Louisiana taxes … ? That’s your political platform Stormy? Ugh, her name alone reminds me of Hurricane Katrina which I don’t think can add much to her campaign.

So Louisiana might have to choose between a guy who was involved in a sex scandal and a woman who has sex on camera.

I hope for that state's sake someone else more qualified comes out of the woodwork, republican or democrat, I don't care. Just anyone else who has a better background than these two.

Good luck.
