Sex industry veteran backs Hillary for president

Looks like upcoming weeks will see endorsements of presidential hopefuls from all over the place: mayors, ranchers, oil executives, maybe even down to dogcatchers and laundry operators.

In fact, it’s already reached the latter.

Making print yesterday and picked up by CNN, observes Grumpy Editor, was the revelation that Heidi Fleiss, former Hollywood madam who currently runs a coin-operated laundry in Pahrump, Nev., is backing Sen. Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.).

This word comes after the sex industry veteran was turned away from attending Clinton’s appearance last week in the community 60 miles west of Las Vegas.

“I’m a big fan of Hillary,” boasts Fleiss, a registered Democrat, who has plans to open a brothel --- catering to women --- in Pahrump.

Her endorsement was greeted with silence from the local Clinton campaign office.
