Free Republic

You can't make this stuff up, kids. Following their successful partnership with Levi Johnston, Playgirl magazine informs me they've set their sights on another young man with a Republican media star in his life: Lucas Bachmann, son of possible presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann. "I'm reaching out to Lucas because when I researched him I was struck by how absolutely adorable he is," Playgirl spokesman Daniel Nardicio tells me. "Plus, I think his political ties make him even sexier. We've made initial contact, so let's see how it goes from there." But the skin mag will have to move on...

It wasn't too long ago that Levi Johnston was pretty much like any other Alaskan teenager. With the exception of dating the then-governor's daughter he was, dare we say, a no body. But in less than two years he's fathered a son, broken up with the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential canidate's teenage daughter, fought a rather public custody fight with Sarah Palin's family, and now landed squarely on the pages of Playgirl.

You know how in Vanity Fair's behind-the-scenes video burgeoning gay icon Levi Johnston jokes with his manager about posing for Playgirl? Well, Gawker's learned it's not a joke. We've confirmed it's actually going to happen. But don't get too excited. After reading on Gawker that Levi was game for posing nude, the guy who puts together Playgirl's photoshoots, Daniel Nardicio, emailed Johnston's manager Tank Jones about having his client pose nude for their website. (The print version of the magazine closed earlier this year). Tank referred the matter to Levi's lawyer Rex Butler (how many handlers does one Alaskan babydaddy...

Zipp, in an e-mail, claims she was fired after an onslaught of liberal backlash. "Hello Drudge, "After your coverage of my article about coming out and voting Republican, I did receive many letters of support from fellow Republican voters, but it was not without repercussions. Criticism from the liberal left ensued. A few days after the onslaught of liberal backlash, I was released from my duties at Playgirl magazine. "After underlings expressed their disinterest of working for an outed...

Folks, it looks like something finally has happened that might get Bill Clinton to switch parties after this next round of heart surgery that he has. Did you see this little blurb from the editor of Playgirl magazine? Her name is Michele Zip. You didn't see this, Mr. Snerdley? (Laughing.) No, Dawn, you didn't find this, did you? I wondered how this ended up in the stack. Listen to this. "When it comes to sex and politics, Democrats are the more liberal, right? Not so fast. Playgirl editor-in-chief Michele Zipp explores 'down and dirty' politics and examines sexuality on both...

PLAYGIRL EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OUTS HERSELF -- AS REPUBLICAN Mon Mar 07 2005 19:42:14 ET When it comes to sex and politics, Democrats are the more liberal, right? Not so fast.

The Enron scandal is going to need a cold shower soon. Playgirl magazine said it is seeking current or former male employees of ruined energy trader Enron Corp. to pose in the nude for an upcoming "Men of Enron" pictorial. The call for male models comes one week after Playboy magazine asked female workers to pose in the buff for a photo spread dubbed the "Women of Enron".
