As discussed previously in this space, Daniels has all but made if official that she will run for U.S. Senate this fall against incumbent David Vitter (D-La.). The only mystery remaining was whether she would run as democrat, republican or Independent. Well today she made it official: She's joining the GOP! (Link at bottom).But the embarrassment doesn't end there for the republicans, as Daniels today indicated that the recent republican Voyeur West Hollywood nightclub scandal played no small role in her decision to join up! Of course, that was the incident where a republican donor was reimbursed almost $2000 by the republican national committee for the tab that the donor ran up at the "lesbian bondage-themed" nightclub. I've gotta think that RNC Chairman Michael Steele's days are numbered, since every conservative in the country wants him fired and today's news will only add fuel to the far-right's fire. For example, just wait until they read some of today's quotes straight from the horse's (errrr, porn star's) mouth:
"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 . . . 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." Ouch.
