What started out as a perfectly innocent photo opp with a couple of convivial adult film actresses has sent Bill Clinton's reelection campaign into a tailspin. You'll recall a photo of Clinton partying in Monaco with two porn stars made the rounds on the Internet yesterday. Everyone had a good chuckle, but at what cost?! Will Bill Clinton ever be president again?! As one of the porn stars told TMZ, "I hope this doesn’t hurt his re-election or whatever he’s trying to run for." Looks like Obama now has the nomination all sewn up!
Tasha Reign and Brooklyn Lee, whom you may recall from such movies as Mission Asspossible and Baby Got Boobs 8, called in to TMZ to explain how they scored face time with the 42nd president. They say they approached Clinton's Secret Service detail to ask for a photo with Clinton, and were shooed away by security. But the two performers caught Clinton's eye, and they say he ordered the Secret Service to call them back. "The Secret Service guy was cock-blocking," Lee tells TMZ.
"He was really, really sweet... He gave us hugs and stuff," Lee continued. Asked if Clinton asked what she did for a living, Lee said, "Oh, I kind of think he knows." And Reign adds, "We love him and want him to watch all our dirty videos... Everybody likes adult entertainment." And cigars! And lowbrow Friday afternoon long weekend blog posts!
thanks for the cigar recommendation Bill! Jk <3 twitter.com/brooklynleexxx…
