Kristin Davis, and no, not “The WASPy One” from Sex and the City, but rather the former madam of Eliot Spitzer’s escort, has thrown her hat–and apparently the rest of her clothing–into the ring.
The ex-con is heading up “The Personal Freedom Party,” which is basically a social free-for-all. She wants to legalize marijuana, prostitution, and same-sex marriages.
Spoken like your common libertarian call girl, Kristin Davis says her “bold plan would bring in an estimated $2.5 billion in new revenues from legalized prostitution and marijuana. Cuomo, Lazio and the other candidates have no bold plan to increase revenues and lower taxes.”
The octogenarian governor of a souther India state resigned over the weekend after a local news station aired a video of him in bed with three women.
Governor Narain Dutt Tiwari handed in a letter of resignation citing health problems, but the video leak seems to have caused increasing pressure on the politician to step down.
Tiwari’s office has stated that the tape is made up, and not a true depiction of reality.
ABN Andhra Jyoti News reported that the three women of the video were brought to the governor by another woman who had been promised a mining lease in return for sexual favors. When the governor didn’t uphold his end of the bargain, the woman executed a “sting operation” to expose the wayward politician.
Tim Pawlenty, govenor of Minnesota, has been quietly but steadfastly putting together the plans for his presidential campaign and will announce today the support he has amassed from high-level political architects and donors, the POLITICO reports.
Pawlenty has already secured key operatives who crafter George W’s successful campaigns, a huge feat given the midwestern’s a relative unknown.
Pawlenty is seen by many to be the only one running against former candidate and assumed re-runner Mitt Romney. Pawlenty has even contacted former Romney supporters.
Pre-figuring Obama’s Kanye/jackass “off-the-record” comment, Pawlenty has not enjoyed the limelight this much since last year when he was caught on radio muttering about how he wished his wife would have sex with him: “She loves football, she’ll go to hockey games and, I jokingly say, ‘Now, if I could only get her to have sex with me.’”
As colleagues played Solitaire and other meaningful computer games, Connecticut House Democrats snuck a ridiculous bill to tax the crap out of anyone successful in the notoriously snobby state.
Repbulican governor Jodi Rell is going to allow the bill to pass without her signature. She had already slashed $8.3 million dollars in pork, which included a $1 million dollar program (!) that would teach senior citizens how to not slip on rugs, though she could have very easily let that part slide, as death panels will soon be instructing them how to do just that once they develop a problematic ailment, like, say, the common cold.
Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, astutely remarked that the $8.3 million is slashed pork was “a relatively minor issue overall in a $37 billion budget.”
This bill shows a true commitment to bipartisanship, with Republican legislators voting unanimously against this ridiculous budget, and many members urging Rell to veto.
Perhaps now the infamous Connecticut housewives will cut back on their vodka habits and aderrall chasers.
