... And while it’s not clear that [Stormy Daniels will] prevail in that legal fight [to get out from under her non-disclosure agreement], it is clear that her appearance in the news has been good for her marketability. Searches for Daniels’s name are skyrocketing.... And each subsequent time Daniels has made headlines for her alleged affair with Trump — when she appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show... searches for her name have spiked again....Led Zeppelin said it best:
“I have two choices,” Daniels told Rolling Stone of the Trump scandal. “Sit at home and feel sorry for myself, or make lemonade out of lemons.”
The top-rated comment at WaPo uses a device I'm seeing in the comedy subgenre of mocking Trump*:
I don't see what all the hullabazoo is over some sleazy, oversized, fake-tanned, fake-blonde trashy prostitute who crawled out of the sewer just to spew forth a bunch of garbage in hopes of being more famous.And then, also in WaPo, there's a Petula Dvorak essay touting Stormy Daniels alongside "the female pioneers of the porn industry":
Why would anyone care?
About Trump, I mean?
You hear “porn,” and you may think predatory guys with cameras in warehouses... But ever since Edison and his kinetoscope, there have been women... who have emerged as entrepreneurs in an industry made for men and run by men...._______________________________
“This industry is filled with strong, smart, very business-savvy women,” [said Lynn Comella, associate professor of gender and sexuality studies at University of Nevada Las Vegas]. “They are calling the shots as directors and CEOs,” and they “are willing to stand up for themselves.”
Given the female power players who survive and thrive in such a cutthroat field, she said, “I’m not surprised to see it’s an adult performer” taking on Trump.
* Trump used it on himself at the Gridiron dinner on March 4th:
I won't rule out direct talks with Kim Jong-Un. I just won't. As far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that's his problem, not mine.Of course, now the direct talks are on. And look! Now, it seems that Kim Jong-Un is cracking jokes about himself. Keep thinking, keep talking, keep joking — maybe there's enough lemonade for everyone.

I hope she steps in as First Lady.
Trump could make her Porn Czar.
OK, I finally went and checked out a video of hers.
My review: She definitely has skillz and feigns enthusiasm well.
Now, what else is going on this Sunday?
I'm waiting for the Kim Jong-un SNL cold open.
Tiger is in 2nd place at Valspar. 1 stroke behind.
They keep bringing up the "hush" money, but why was it needed? Extortion. And lemonade.
Isn't one of them illegal.

I challenge Comella to name one of these "directors and CEOs" in the porn industry.
Porn exploits women. Stormy Daniels may be exploiting herself but it doesn't make her porn any less sleazy.
Yes Ralph.
Remember the little girl who got fined for selling lemonade?
Just trying to keep the theme going

When is Mueller going to subpoena Daniels? Isn’t that where this is headed? Isn’t that what the NYTimes is aiming for? Did “The Russians” contact Daniels to get dirt on Trump? Enquiring minds want to know!
Pete,
I forget her name but the creator and producer of HBOs long running RealSex series was a woman.
Not quite hard core but harder than soft porn

We've progressed from didn't happen, no way no how, to 'they make a good match'.
Stormy's matching talent is that she has a beautiful female face and she serenely puts up with lustful men that have money. It'sthe The art of the Deal redux,and over again. They both get what the bargained for.
We've progressed from 'Don't Care' to 'Still Don't Care.'
Trump will never admit it. Trump is discrete about his courtesans. That is Melania's rule.
Porn exploits women.
Also TV repairmen and pizza delivery guys.
That’s some top-shelf Trump humor! Comes from The Daily Stormy. I couldn’t live without that site.
Was Stormy Daniels one of the sluts linked to Tiger Woods? Maybe she likes golfers!
The left wants us to be more like Europe.
European political leaders have mistresses and it is completely acceptable and expected.
Trump has a mistress.
Shouldn't the left be praising him for rejecting America's "Puritanical sexual mores"?
The entrepreneurial wisdom of Stormy Daniels. (No wonder she was a good match for Donald Trump
Not really. More like the entrepreneurial desperation of Stormy Daniels.
And she wouldn't be the first person to milk their fifteen seconds of fame to try to make money.
Stormy Daniels for Senate!
I challenge Comella to name one of these "directors and CEOs" in the porn industry.
Jenna Jameson immediately comes to mind.
As for the Washington Post, it is the true sleazy, disgusting, porn player here, offering non-stop jerk-off stories for the anti-Trumpers in the course of their own gang-banging, sexual thrill of Trump hate in the newsroom.
Porn exploits women.
you can probably imagine what happens next...
He fixes the cable?
Washington Post and the Dems have even literally been hoping to see pics of Trump naked. Don't tell me that they do not get off on this stuff.
"Squeeze my lemon until the juice runs down my leg. (That's what my mama said.) I bet you can do it so,so, so, so hard... I'm pretty sure, pretty sure... you're going to knock 'em dead."
I shook Robert Plant's hand a few nights ago.
After all these years, he still has a pretty strong grip!
Things do change. Today you want a quote on the inner workings of the porn industry you
go to a university prof. Fifty years ago you'd get an off the record quote from a vice
detective.
Pussy grabs back and porn star exploits back.
I was proud of that joke for about one tenth of a second. The dual meaning of "back" ruins it.

There is a huge difference between hoping that such pictures exist and hoping to see them.

It's Lynn Comella, associate professor of gender and sexuality studies at University of Nevada Las Vegas. I'm gussing that gender and sexuality studies in Vegas might differ from those at, say, Wellesley.
Beloved misses the days when the Kennedys knew how. to deal with women like this, really keep them silent! Things have gotten so low class since Trump became president.

Vanilla in Vegas. Wassail in Wellesley.
Per her bio Stormy has been divorced twice, and has a child. She’s directed 64 movies, stared in 184.
She’s 38, so definitely past her prime for the porn industry. She’s making money off the strip circuit with her new found fame. Porn industry salaries have collapsed due to free porn, so performers do the strip club citcuit and other means to make money. Term in business is backend money.
So much for Mueller. As Margaret Thatcher said, "If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman."
"Pussy grabs back and porn star exploits back.

You were halfway there.
It IS a frustrating thing, when you have the idea and framework for a humorous comment, but there is a word that clunks.
You stop and try to figure out what other word could fit, but find that other words make it more convoluted, and obvious you are trying to craft, rather than gliding with a natural off-handedness.
Running through your mental thesaurus you might find a word that clicks, but then the grammar of the sentence needs to be revised, and now you have a good word but the chassis is bent: it no longer matches the rhythm of what you were echoing.
Now you are pretty much left with three choices.
Use the comment with the clunk and hope no one notices.
Use the comment with the clunk and add a disclaimer that, yes, I know it clunks, but I like the idea enough to use it anyway.
Put the idea in the ashcan, knowing it coulda been a contender.
When you are a porn star you let them do anything. But anal costs extra.
The Germans have a word for this.
Up-front Pussy grabs back and porn star exploits bottom.
Somersaults ensue.
So are you saying this one doesn't have a heart of gold?
Maybe the Pussy has teeth, after all.
Trump was wrong to make out with her and his association with porn is sleazy but Stormy is a smart woman trying to exploit her fame and demonstrates how porn empowers women. Got it.
Remember when Clinton's inamoratas and various rape victms were described as bimbos. You can say that Clinton and the press denigrated the role of women in these lives of our presidents.. Now we find porn stars being elevated to the role of entrepreneurs. You can say that Trump and the press have now elevated the role of women........Years ago I read Frazier's book The Golden Bough. Iirc, the book stated that the king is the fertility symbol for the tribe. When the king has lots of women, it proves the tribe is fecund and prosperous. The people don't begrudge the king his sex life. A wounded king, i.e. an impotent one, is more problematic than a horn dog one.......America seems to be remarkably forgiving of its horndog Presidents. They go to the White House, ha, ha, ha.......I suppose you can argue that since Prince Albert, there's a new, improved way of demonstrating one's virility. You demonstrate not the strength of your sex drive but the strength of your character in overcoming sexual temptation. I guess Pence and Carter demonstrate this trope. It works, but it can curdle quickly. Nixon and Wilson became wounded kings. At the most primitive level, the horndog model is the most consistently effective.
I know many here don't have the time to research the oeuvre of Stormy Daniels. While doing the hard work of investigating her talents and range as an actress, I stumbled upon Ginger Lynn. Ginger Lynn was the big porn star during my years of peak porn consumption. She was Charley Sheen's first porn star girl friend, and the first porn star to be hooked up with an A list celebrity. She's still active in the field. With her wisdom and experience, I would like to see her joining the round table discussion on MTP. I'm sure she has many interesting insights into this affair.......,,I don't mean this to sound catty, but the years haven't been all that kind to her. It seems that some things aren't such great complexion enhancers after all.
William, that was Sophie's choice. No #metoo for her.
The Left just doesn't get it- no one cares about Stormy Daniels and whether or not her story about Trump is true, and the Left is why no one cares about such things any longer. It is driving them nuts that this is the case, though. It would be like Hillary! criticizing someone in the Trump Administration for insecure e-mail practices, or Trump criticizing someone for infidelity and multiple marriages. The messenger has to be a non-hypocrite, in other words. The Left has convinced the Right that sexual practices outside of pedophilia are of no concern for fitness for office. The Left has made the rule here, and Trump supporters are obeying it.
Pussy grips; pornstar gripes.
Althouse wrote: “Pussy grabs back and porn star exploits back. “
Quip one for the gripper.
The great Led Zep "squeeze my lemon" song is "Travellin Riverside Blues," recorded live in 1969 for the BBC. The guitar solo alone is worth the price of admission.
@William: One problem with your 11:40 is that women now vote. They don’t all care that Trump is a horn dog; many may resent it. Hillary Clinton - still the most admired woman among women - is basically asexual. And yet she came very close to being POTUS, mainly due to female support. Many recall Trump’s gender gap but Hillary’s was huger.
@Earnest Prole: Thanks for that flashback. The solo was overdubbed! I mistakenly thought those BBC sessions were live. Maybe I should pony-up for them.
“The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018,” it continued.
“I am not denying the affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.”
--Stormy Daniels
Maybe she can get a sexbot company to make a novelty model.
So the inquirer is turning out some real news and the journal and CBS news are descending to sub Hades depth,
The interesting part if the story was dube her publicist who just happened to have been contacted by a democratic consultant.
I find the Stormy Daniels Caper amusing and entertaining. It is the ultimate political parody of the last year of moral outrage at penis politics. At the core of the MOI AUSSI movement is the issue of credibility. The sheer numbers of "allegations" are not the issue; there is something in common experience that gives us deplorables a sense of doubt to bullshit response.
Now, comes the whore seeking more money for Trump, who may or may not have rolled around with this dirigible. Maybe yes maybe no; but there can be absolute agreement that this woman is a just a tad on the "trashy side" n'est-ce-pas

Male leaders project their sexuality in either a Prince Albert or King Horndog fashion. Both types have survived and prospered. What hurts is when you get your signals crossed. John Edwards was not such an inveterate philanderer, but he projected himself as a perfect, gentle knight, supportive and caring for his sick wife. Not just his wife but the American public felt cheated and conned when news of his affair broke. I don't think Trump will ever have that problem......It is instructive to note which politicians crash and burn and which politicians continue to thrive. For the life of me, I can't understand how Teddy Kennedy survived his scandal. You can be a horndog but not a cowardly one. A dead woman does not fit into any kind of fertility drama. Kennedy was guilty of despicable and cowardly behavior. Time's up for Ted Kennedy, albeit posthumously. i wonder if his defenders and apologists will also suffer a corresponding loss of reputation. Probably not. Look at all those Harvey Weinstein enablers who congratulated themselves to their commitment to women's causes at the Academy Awards and their outrage at Trump's excesses .
Monica Lewinsky has yet another article in Vanity Fair. She's come around to the idea that, just maybe, there was a power imbalance in her "consensual relationship" with fellow adult Bill Clinton.
And Stormy Daniels is going on Sixty Minutes.
In each case, sleazy behavior with a prominent married man is all either one has or ever will have. They just keep trotting it out because, without it, they'd be anonymous and who wants that?
Pathetic.
Anderson Cooper is certainly the man fir the job..
More random thoughts: What is the female equivalent of the Prince Albert/Lusty King dichotomy among female politicians. This is imprecise and speculative, but I would argue for Strict Schoolmarm or Nurtutring Mother. The two most successful female politicians of my lifetime were Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel. Nowadays, Muslims immigrants are more apt to see the maternal warmth in Merkel's policies than the average German, but there's no vouchsafing the fact that she has had a lot of electoral success and she does have a comfortable and comforting presence. Margaret Thatcher wasn't all that comforting, but her rigidity gave her stability and a center that people found reassuring........I don't think Hillary had either of those qualities. There was no sense of a moral center or of maternal warmth. She embraced the horndog and not his sexual potency.......I'm not sure if sex appeal helps a female candidate. Sarah Paln had quite a lot of sexual magnetism, but you can't say it worked for her. Maybe Niki Haley or Marcia Washburn have just the right amount of good looks to be attractive without it being distracting. Elizabeth Warren, as Trump has pointed out, is so hideous that she should be disqualified from any voice in public life. Honestly, I think Hillary is more attractive.
Thy pussy hath not been grabbeth
As bad as Obama's bleating scold could be, the prospect of Warren nagging from the oval office is terrifying.
So crew has gotten in on the act, re the last kerfluffle:

Goal: To depress Support for Trump among Women Evangelicals and social conservatives.
Why Stormy Daniels on 60 minutes?
That's why.
The whole Russia collusion thing - which seemed nutty to me from the get go - was supposed to suppress Trump support among the conservatives and others with a historical wariness towards the old Soviet Union and Russia. They were supposed to rise up like a John Birch monolith.
Oh I left out Lisa Ann, Larry flynts in kind contribution to the Obama campaign, recycled by Eminem and at the 2012 convention in tamoa
