Building a successful career takes years of hard work and dedication—just ask Hillary Clinton, who has spent years building up her power and influence. And Clinton has inspired women around the world, like her own former intern, Samantha Kogelman, who left the world of politics behind in favor of a career in hardcore porn.
Kogelman, better known as Sammie Spades these days, was a community college student in Buffalo in 2006 when she met then-Senator Clinton at a banquet and won a coveted internship slot in Clinton's Buffalo office. "I was planning on becoming an attorney and then going into public office," Spades told TMZ, but money problems later inspired her to switch career directions. "I don't think Hillary would be too happy, but I have nothing but respect for Mrs. Clinton," the star of Big Butts Like It Big #8 and White Bubble Butts #4 said. Girl power, indeed.
