Democrats traditionally court the support of movie stars and celebrities, don’t they? But, in Nevada, before you could say, “Bimbo eruption”, they couldn’t find a place in the big tent for Ms. Fleiss!

In a campaign used to dealing with media whores, I guess they weren’t prepared for the real thing!

Former Hollywood madam and current rural Nevada small businesswoman Heidi Fleiss was turned away from Hillary Clinton’s appearance in Pahrump last week, but she doesn’t hold a grudge.

Fleiss, who is running a laundromat while she continues to dream of opening a brothel for women, is backing Sen. Clinton, D-N.Y., for president with all her might, she said.

By the time Fleiss and two neighbors got to the Skate Zone where Clinton was appearing, it was filled to capacity. “Naturally, I was disappointed, but it’s exciting that so many people came out to see her,” Fleiss said. “I don’t hold it against her at all.”

Fleiss is a registered Democrat who says she voted in every election from when she turned 18 to when she was convicted of felony charges and had her voting privileges revoked. They have been reinstated, she said.

“I’m a big fan of Hillary’s. Any woman who’s smart, how can you not be?” said Fleiss, 41. “Even if you’re a Republican, if you’re a woman and you’re smart, you have to respect her.”

Fleiss described herself as a “tree-hugger” who is generally liberal but favors the death penalty. She said her business, “Dirty Laundry,” is thriving—“I just had to buy another super-size washing machine”—and she also wants to develop wind turbines on some land she owns. The day after the Clinton visit, she attended a forum on energy in Pahrump hosted by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Fleiss is not the first sex-industry veteran to endorse Clinton. The campaign has the official backing of porn star Jenna Jameson.

The Clinton campaign, which opened a Pahrump office over the weekend, didn’t have a response to Fleiss’ endorsement. [Maybe they should have asked Bill! ]

“We weren’t aware she was a supporter,” campaign spokeswoman Hilarie Grey said. “It seemed like the whole town was full of supporters that day. We only wish we’d had room for everyone.”

Everyone who wasn’t a high profile sex-industry figure!

Hypocrisy, thy name is Hillary!

But she does run a laundromat. Maybe Bill can get a volume discount on his stained blue dresses! (Would that be a campaign contribution in kind?)
