Stormy Daniels Car Bomb Incident

stormy.jpgPossible Louisiana Senate candidate (and porn star) Stormy Daniels may be learning just how dangerous the political arena can be. (Or maybe not.) It’s being reported that her political adviser had his car blown up this week, and there’s even video of it after the jump.

A political adviser to Stormy Daniels, the porn star who’s considering a Senate run in Louisiana, told a New Orleans TV station Monday that someone bombed his car.

Brian Welsh, who wasn’t hurt in the incident, posted surveillance video of his car exploding on YouTube. He told ABC 26, the local affiliate, that there’s footage of an unidentified man opening the car door and throwing something inside before it explodes. There’s video of someone moving around near the car, but it’s unclear what he or she is doing.

Of course, I’d never be so jaded and cynical as to suggest that this was a staged stunt to get some press. Let’s all just be glad that nobody was hurt. As for Daniels herself, I’m about ready to endorse her candidacy no matter which party she winds up picking. If we’re going to have a Legislative branch full of asses anyhow, we may as well have an ass that’s been fully, errr…. vetted.

    Best line from the video was said by Jeff Crouere the ABC 26 political analyst, "It looks suspicious."

    Best line from Jazz in his post, "...we may as well have an ass that’s been fully, errr…. vetted." On camera in front of the whole world. You can't get more transparent than that.

    Best line from the victim, Brian Welsh, "It's too early for me to go pointing fingers." It may be too early for him to point fingers, but I guess he sniffed them and found something fishy about the whole situation.

    Jazz, you have to realize I have a pretty adolescent sense of humor at times. Be careful when you get me started. Particularly when I can have a blast poking fun at exploding cars. I wonder what deeper meaning there is that the device was in the drivers seat when it exploded. Boy what a mess it made. At least it wasn't up the tailpipe.

    Are those the deployed air bags under her blouse there? lol...

    Had to get that one in. : )

    I agree, Jazz, something peculiarly appealing about a politician that will screw the constituency right in front of the camera. Transparency raised to an art form.

    Now, if we could get Gandelman as obsessed with the "details" of Stormy's career as he is with Palin's, this blog would get a whole lot more interesting.

    That.....and a glass of milk.....would kill me dead.
