Weekend Open Thread for Anything but Comments about Jenna Jameson’s Romney Endorsement

Porn Star Jenna Jameson

Huntington Beach bares newest Romney endorsement. This picture is intended for identification purposes only, as allowed for by "Fair Use" provisions of law.

Sometimes we may get accused of some partisan slant here or there, but when news happens in Orange County we at the Orange Juice Blog try to present it to you — even if it favors the Evil Soulless Robot to be nominated this month by the Republican Party in godforsaken Florida. Let the chips fall where they may.

It is in that spirit that we note for the record that former movie star Jenna Jameson of Huntington Beach, California, in the County of Orange, has endorsed Willard Mitt Romney of San Diego (or wherever) for President. Her reasoning:

“I’m very looking forward to a Republican being back in office. When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office.”

The LA Times story continues:

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.”

Well, there you have it. And, as with Mitt Romney, if you have what Jenna Jameson has, and have been willing to bend the rules to your advantage without regard for what others may think, it is understandable that you would agree with her and vote accordingly. If you’re in the more than 99% that doesn’t, well, your alternative path is clear.

(Interestingly, people’s chances of becoming as rich as Romney are calculated as being substantially less than their chances of fulfilling whatever fantasies they have regarding Jameson, although they both may look good on paper.)

We congratulate Mitt Romney on his support from a real people-pleaser. What we wonder now is whether JJ is native born, at least 35, etc. Choosing JJ as VP would totally fry Sarah Palin — and as with La Palin herself such considerations might well justify a choice of someone so unqualified as to threaten our nation’s very security.)

The Orange Juice Blog realizes that our raising the topic of Jenna Jameson’s endorsement of her fellow wealthy unbridled gobbler of other people’s goodies might lead some commenters to make inappropriate remarks below. You are admonished, with all the seriousness of a declaration of residency, not to do so. Such comments will surely be removed — even if only belatedly and retroactively.

With that caveat, this is an open thread.  (P.S. The “x” in the upper corner of the photo is for when you’re done with it.)


About Greg Diamond

Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that. Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too. He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.) His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
