Well, when all else fails, over-tax the porn industry
This rep. in Washington (state) whose a Democrat (in name only) wants to impose an insane tax on adult businesses'...A similar measure was proposed in California last year but went down in flames...

http://avnmag.avn.com/articles/34452.html

Notice how cigarettes & booze always get a pass on these types of tax increases, it's ALWAYS reserved for the porn industry....

Well, hopefully if it passes, it will get shot down as unconstitutional in court....

2. Boners can be free! But Sex addiction becomes way to easy
in the net world, and it has ruined many marriages. Tax away on the internet sex!

9. Oh please

Sex addiction. If someone is going to be an addict, they will find something. Drugs, Sex, furry animals, whatever.

Blaming personality problems that they should seek help for on something else just gives them an out.

5. If memory serves, I think that a porn star DID run... for President. I can't
recall if this was four or eight years ago.

8. Different porn star
Mary Carey ran for Governor of California. This woman that is proposing to run against Vitter is Stormy Daniels.

6. A porn star is thinking of challenging "Diaperman" Vitter in 2010
But she'll probably run as an independent. It doesn't sound very serious.
