Oh my gosh, she posed for Maxim at one point, how dare she run for political office, such a morally bad woman and no good role model for young girls and women!
After President Obama was elected, I was appointed to work in the White House, initially in the chief of staff’s office and later serving as the first ever White House deputy director of Hispanic media. This moment was the fulfillment of dreams that a younger me could have never conceived, and I felt a deep sense of responsibility to translate that perspective into action at the highest level.
Then the photos hit.
One week into the job, photos from an old shoot for Maxim surfaced and spread like an arsonist’s fire. Right behind the photos followed the hotter, more humiliating blaze of unveiled snark that pointedly implied that I didn’t deserve what I’d accomplished and had been overambitious for even trying in the first place. And it was everywhere — from Gawker to the Daily Mail to Perez Hilton to the front page of a random newspaper in India. I was now stamped as the “White House Maxim Model.” I had been reduced to a stereotype.
I agree with everything Alejandra Campoverdi said in the article EXCEPT her political perspective as a liberal. There is no reason I wouldn't vote for her IF I were a liberal in her district. I would do the same for Jenna Jameson if she ran and I were in her district. In case anyone here doesn't know, Jenna Jameson didn't merely do a nude cover shoot, she was a porn Queen.
The things these women did to earn money were not illegal and are hardly immoral. They are what they are and in no way should their past legal actions prevent them from being in Congress at a State or federal level, nor should it prevent them from being either a Governor or the President of the US.
I don't think we should vote for a woman simply because she is a woman. I believe we should vote for a woman if she appears to be the best candidate for the position due to her stated views and claims of representing her constituency as they should.
I say good for Alejandra Campoverdi! May she have good luck and all the support she can get from the liberals in her district.
Maxim is not porn, funny how no one had much of an issue with Scott Brown posing for Playgirl. Quite a double standard, good for her.
