Who in the Fuck is Stormy Daniels?
Up until yesterday I never had heard of Stormy Daniels. She is, allegedly, by her word, a fucker of presidents. I have no reason to believe or not believe her. I did a fair amount of investigation into Ms. Daniels video career this morning (for purely academic reasons and I am now confident that she is not really a blond!) and I have formed personal, very subjective opinions on her character based upon approximately an hour of reading news stories, all stating in varying terms, that she’d screwed the leader of the free world and got $130K for it, and now she feels like she has to come clean. Trump’s lawyer, on the other hand, is out $130K which he said he paid from his own funds to Ms. Daniels for-he won’t say exactly what-and Trump is oblivious as to the reason why his lawyer would spend that money on Ms. Daniels. This is a prime example of at least six or seven Not Happy Endings in the making. Well, except for Ms. Daniels, who got $130K and still is unhappy. Hopefully, if Trump did screw Ms. Daniels he got a Happy Ending. Obviously the lawyer who felt compelled to empty his bank account didn’t get one yet! And!! He’s being courted by some of the most tenacious people on the face of the Earth to explain why he gave Ms. Daniels the money. It does not bode well for him. He is going to get the opposite of a Happy Ending for his troubles.
Anyway, this is how I look at it. Ms. Daniels, who I had here-to-fore known nothing about, has every right to screw whomever she wishes. I believe she has the right to get as much for her effort (pay, prizes, etc) as the market will allow. I do not believe she has the legal or moral right to divulge her marvelous adventure to the public, especially as she has signed away her right to do so on a document prepared by Mr. Trump’s Lawyer!! (Who swears he gave her $130K but doesn’t know why). We all sell ourselves. We are all prostitutes on some level whether legally, morally or commercially sanctioned. But, once we tattle we are amoral whores.
Mr. Trump-the leader of the free world-if I judge by the same moral ruler, is a lying piece of shit! (I may have to soften this a bit if I am to get it out there for consideration by the more middle-of-the-road citizenry). One doesn’t fuck and tell. And the Fuck-er doesn’t deserve to be fucked over by the fuck-ee. But as the leader of the free world Truth is a commodity that should never…must never…be prostituted. A perfect illustration in history is the case of one Richard M. Nixon, who by coincidence was also a leader of the free world.
In an example of the truism that it is “not the crime but the cover-up” Mr. Nixon’s lawyers paid off/bribed his own henchmen in an attempt to keep them in line and uncooperative with the prosecutor who was trying to prove that Nixon had authorized the Watergate break-in. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were paid through Nixon’s lawyers to shut the burglars up and avoid the embarrassment of the President’s (read: leader of the free world) association with the crime. It didn’t work. Nixon was found out. There was so much evidence of his crime and, as importantly, his attempts to cover his tracks, that he quit his great job, lost all the perks and no longer was the leader of the free world any more. If he hadn’t quit he would have been fired (impeached). Luckily for him he had a buddy who took over his job (President Gerald Ford) who kindly pinched Nixon on the cheek, told him to go home and don’t come back to Washington any more, and then told all the other partial leaders of the free world to just forgive and forget. I simplify the situation but it all boils down to one of the ten commandments-don’t get caught and if you do keep your mouth shut!
Now, I’m not a Trump fan, but I feel for the guy. This was a hundred and thirty thousand dollar fuck and for that he should have, at least, a happy ending and not have a silicone injected porn actress (“Star” is not a word I can easily associate with a porn film)blabbing to the newspapers. That being said, He also should get his story straight with his own lawyer/bag-man or even better keep his mouth shut. Now, I believe, he should do the right thing and get his ass out of Washington because even in that bastion of mental mediocrity he is in way over his head. He should go back to his bullshit “reality” shows and plastic society. Let him live on his shady wealth and his bleach blond comb-over and his orange tanning booth bravado and leave the governance of the country to people who have at least a modicum of decency.
Back to my original question: who is Stormy Daniels? I really don’t know. I can tell that she is deeply flawed. I can say she seems to need something that this society has not offered her, but what it has offered her is $130 thousand dollars and 15 minutes of “fame”. I think she will find that it was not enough. I think she will find later in her life that bending over and then taking the money was not so bad (just as burglarizing the Democratic National offices at The Watergate was not really such a big deal). Her mistake is in her belief that the public retelling the story of her tryst will create anything of value. There is no value in associating her self as a slut to Donald Trump. It is not really any kind of claim to fame. She should take the $130 K and buy a few shares of Home Depot and put it away. She will need it some day. She should go to someplace where she is not known and reinvent herself. She should look for something of substance to add to her biography and try to forget where she has been and what she has seen.
