Um. How would it be short? Do you expect insurrection over porn? Impeachment? I certainly agree that the porn industry would be pissed, but exactly what do you expect it to do?


Clinton was very nearly impeached for the Lewinsky scandal. Don't forget the first rule of American politics: With money, all things are possible.


Clinton was nearly impeached for perjury, not the scandal itself. Unfortunately, the one bad thing Santorum doesn't appear to be is dishonest.


True, but given the boundless ingenuity of the smut industry, I'm sure they can think of something if they're backed into a corner by Santorum. (hehe)


I thought I alluded to what they can think of quite clearly by stating some studies suggest 40-50% of women in the porn industry do or have worked as prostitutes or escorts.

I wouldn't even be surprised if the porn industry helped line him up just so they could knock the entire republican party out of the election in one messy sex scandal.

Honestly if I had at stake what the porn industry does. I'd be thinking "regardless of if Obama wins this one or not, next election there's a huge chance it's going to be republican so lets end Santorum once and for all".

No one, no matter how ardent a republican is going to vote for a 'happily married father of 8' if he's caught sleeping with an 18 year old porn star.
