STORMY DANIELS, a 30-year-old adult film star with more than 150 steamy flicks to her name, is getting set to heat up Louisiana’s 2010 Senate race. Daniels, the star of Operation Desert Stormy—in which she plays a CIA agent who fights terrorists while wearing Army-fatigue booty shorts—says she plans to toss her G-string in the ring (although she hadn’t officially announced her candidacy as of press time). We asked the Baton Rouge native why she wants to forgo porn for politics.
Q: Why shoot for the Senate?
A: I was drafted by a group called Draft Stormy, a grassroots movement in Louisiana that wanted someone who was the polar opposite of current senator David Vitter. They figured I would be perfect because I am open and honest about my sexuality, unlike Vitter. I realized that this is my chance to make a difference, to do something unselfish, noble, and to help a lot of people.
Q: You’re referring to Senator Vitter’s link to a Washington, D.C. escort service . . .
A: I’m not one to judge someone’s sexual activity, but what annoys me is that he’s so hard-core "family values," and he puts his wife and kids out there, saying he’s a Christian family man. Then he’s caught up in a prostitution scandal. He’s a hypocrite.
Q: How much will your résumé be a factor?
A: It’s actually starting to work in my favor—I have nothing to hide. A sex tape of me isn’t going to pop up and shame me; there are 150 of them at the video store.
Q: Do you think you’re more qualified than Senator Vitter?
A: Absolutely not. But in one movie, I did play a Secret Service agent marooned on an island controlled by North Korea. I butt heads with dictator Kim Jong-il and come out on top.
Q: What’s the most important issue facing Louisiana today?
A: The biggest issue in Louisiana is the economy. In New Orleans, tourism is down, and the crime rate is up. I want to make Louisiana a better place to live—create jobs, rebuild the Gulf Coast, and make health care affordable.
Q: What’s your party affiliation?
A: As far as the two-party political system goes, I swing both ways. But I’m leaning toward the Libertarian Party.
Q: Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton?
A: Hillary Clinton. She’s a well-rounded woman, extremely knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects, and carries herself with dignity.
Q: Your campaign adviser’s car was bombed in July, although he wasn’t in the car. Was this politically motivated?
A: I hope so. I hope someone is that afraid or interested in what I’m doing that they would try to scare me out of the race.
Q: If you’re elected, will you quit porn?
A: Probably, but only because of HD…and gravity.
You know in today’s world where arnold is govenor, al franken is sentaor, jesse ventura was goveor etc, I think if Stormy really, really had her shit together she would have a chance, with a big part of that due to the unique and fucked up situation that is NO from Katrina. I think either you try it 100 or you are making a mockery, thats just my opinion.
i thought this is old,old news?
She’s a fucking joke, porn doesn’t want her anymore, hurts to hit your head on that glass ceiling, don’t it!! Maybe you should have been nicer to people while you were chasing Jenna’s coattails! She’ll be done in a year.
of course Stormy!! porn doesn’t want you?? just chill out and don’t be so bitchy!!! dammm
Was she mean to you Ruby?
She has always been a bitch to me, but what really pissed me off was when I was at Wicked picking up movies with my hubby she was a cunt to him for no apparent reason.
So he got a taste of her sparkling personality too! I love the way she spreads such good cheer.
If that is true she will get thorn into pieces in any political debate.
