It wasn't exactly “What’s good for General Motors is good for the country,” but porn star Jenna Jameson has put her spin on the presidential race: "I'm very looking forward to a Republican being back in office. When you're rich, you want a Republican in office."
All together now, you Occupy folks: “We told you so!”Jameson’s “let them eat cake” moment came Thursday in San Francisco while she was “sipping champagne in a VIP room at Gold Club in the city's South of Market neighborhood,” according to CBS San Francisco. It added that she “made the comments exclusively to a CBS SF staffer who was attending an event marking the 8th anniversary of the gentlemen's club.”
If anyone knows getting screwed over, it's an adult film star successful enough to be worth an estimated $30 million. I wonder if Jameson knows that it was Mitt Romney's 2008 campaign that influenced the Marriott corporation (on which board Romney sat) to remove porn from the hotels, resulting in a fairly significant income reduction. That couldn't have been good for Jameson's bottom line either.
Someone I know who is much more familiar with Jameson's ... ahem...body of work insisted that Jameson is far too generous a person to cop a "I got mine, screw you" Republican stance, but I remain unconvinced. To be fair, Jameson described herself as "extremely liberal" and supported Hillary Clinton in the last election. So maybe this is a great big middle finger to Romney, tying him to an industry that hurt him badly with social conservatives the last time around.
Either way, it's frickin' hilarious.
