If a porn star had played a role in bringing down Nixon,

[RockRaven]

would her porn still be popular today, and would she still be a celebrity 4+ decades later? Or would she be a footnote?


(not impugning the motives of Ms. Clifford and Mr. Avenatti by asking this question, just curious about people's perspective on notorious celebrity)

1. Deep Throat, indeed.

2. welp...

walked into that one...

6. Touche'

3. Is there such a thing as "classic porn"?

[PJMcK]

7. Yep, it's called "vintage" (n/t)

[Throck]

4. It would still be a secret.

Unless someone's cover was blown.

5. They tried indirectly to use that MO.

Remember Wilbur Mills getting caught with stripper Fanne Fox in D.C. and her jumping into the Tidal Basin?

8. The Argentine Firecracker! Now there's a blast from the past!

from the Silver Slipper
but she had her Ways and Means..."

9. I would be questioning both of their motives...

If their target wasn’t Trump. Fact is, I could care less about their motives. I’ll question anyone’s character who fucks Trump. I’ll question anyone’s character who has spent their career promoting the angry white man owning the bodies of women(go look at her work).

Stormy will be a footnote. Avenatti is taking the oxygen out of the room.

Stormy is currently cashing in on her celebrity at strip clubs. That won’t last much longer as she is already aging out. I imagine her next step will be to write a book. I also imagine that the con will be in such a bad spot soon that she will be able to up the claims on a civil suit and he will quickly settle.

10. I think their motive is very clear:

they are targeting Trump, specifically. I think Stormy didn't much like being threatened. The money aspect is fine but more than anything she wants to take cheetolini down.

Personally I don't care who anybody decides to sleep with. I think Donnie boy is orders of magnitude sleazier than a porn star.

11. They are targeting Trump and Cohen.

She had sex with Trump and Cohen was involved in the coverup. I don’t think she cares about taking him down as much as her lawyer. She is looking for a second payday.

“I think Donnie boy is orders of magnitude sleazier than a porn star.”


That is a statement of character. In the big scheme of things I could care less that she rolled over for him. But you just outlined the character issue. I did not take issue with the porn industry as a whole as you did in your last sentence. I don’t see being in porn alone as a character issue as you outlined in your comparison with Trump.

12. We disagree.
