Interesting Juxtaposition of Stories

I saw the links to these two stories on the Drudge Report site yesterday, and found the combination rather humorous:

First, from The Hill.com: Dems are bringing sexy back
As one Democratic campaign strategist remarked, “Taking back the majority certainly has its perks. With the shift in power has come a shift in social standing for once-shunned Democratic operatives. It seems everyone from lowly interns to nerdy policy wonks have a full dance card so long as they have a ‘D’ behind their name.”
Mmmkay. But then your read this story from JustHillary.com, and it all falls into place:
Jenna Jameson, who's been called the world's most famous porn star and is the author of the New York Times bestseller "How To Make Love Like a Porn Star," talked about Hillary Clinton in an interview with PR.com....May 17, 2007...

PR.com: "Who's your favorite Democratic front runner for 2008? Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John Edwards?"

Jenna Jameson: "I love Hillary. I think that in some ways she's pretty conservative for a Democrat, but I would love to have a woman in office. I think that it would be a step in the right direction for our country, and there would be less focus on war and more focus on bettering society."

PR.com: "Do you find that the climate of the adult industry changes when there is a Republican administration versus Democratic?"

Jenna Jameson: "Absolutely. The Clinton administration was the best years for the adult industry and I wish that Clinton would run again. I would love to have him back in office. I would love to have Al Gore in office. When Republicans are in office, the problem is, a lot of times they try to put their crosshairs on the adult industry, to make a point. It's sad, when there are so many different things that are going on in the world: war, and people are dying of genocide...I look forward to another Democrat being in office. It just makes the climate so much better for us, and I know that once all our troops come home, things are going to be better and I think that getting Bush out of office is the most important thing right now."
Yeah, that's bringing sexy back to Washington! And somewhere, Bill Clinton is pumping his fist in the air and yelling, "Yes! Club Jenna girls, who wants to play 'President and Intern'?!"

The other day at work, I was joking with my partner on the machine about John Edwards' $400 haircuts. I told my partner that the line that Gov. Huckabee used in the Republican debate about "Congress spending money like John Edwards at a beauty shop" was spot 0n -- regular guys don't spend $400 on a haircut, and they certainly wouldn't at a barber shop. It would have to be for a stylist, probably some guy with a French name. And I added that if I was spending that much on a haircut, "there darned sure had better be a woman named Monica there as well... Blue dress strictly optional." I thought my partner was going to hurt himself laughing.
