A surprisingly thoughtful endorsement of Obama by a porn star

Following porn star Jenna Jameson's ridiculous endorsement of Mitt Romney last week ("When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office."), The Daily Beast has done the public service of asking other porn stars about their politics.

As you'd expect, most of the answers the Beast got were equally stupid: "Obama, just because he is hotter," "I still have a crush on Barack and on Michelle," and a personal favorite, “I'm voting for Obama because he inhales when he smokes."

But then there's this answer by Jessica Drake:

"I don't often volunteer my political opinion, but in the past few days I've been asked many times, so I'll say this—there are many reasons to support President Obama's campaign for reelection. When he first took office, one of his first acts as commander in chief was to sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. This important bill has served to break down wage-discrimination barriers for women and eradicate workplace inequality on many levels. Economically, he has pushed for New Deal-style initiatives geared to create jobs and get Americans working. He has eliminated "don't ask, don't tell," defended LGBT rights and officially supported the rights of same-sex couples to marry. I am pleased with what he has done so far, and I think it's important to remember that our nation did not arrive at its current condition overnight—it will take some time to truly mend and heal, and I am proud to endorse Obama as the best person to facilitate the necessary changes."

There's no way her mother didn't help her put that answer together.

This is like asking Britney Spears about astronomy. You'd expect her to say something like "I'm a Virgo" and instead she offers up the hydrogen-to-sulfur ratio of Jupiter's atmosphere. It's just not something that would happen naturally.
