Former sex worker Kristin Davis, dubbed the "Manhattan Madam," said she intends to run as a Libertarian in the race for governor of New York.
Davis has help from a well known Republican operative, Roger Stone, who worked with former presidents including Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and both Bushes.
"This is not a hoax, a prank or a publicity stunt. I want to get her a half-million votes," Stone said.
Davis has talked about running against former Gov. (and alleged former client) Eliot Spitzer.
In 2007, Stone tipped off the FBI to Spitzer's predilection for prostitutes, landing Davis nearly four months on Rikers Island while Spitzer resigned in disgrace but escaped indictment, the Daily News said.
"But now that it looks like he won't run, Kristin still wants to use her celebrity to highlight a reform agenda," Stone said.
Davis' image belies her credentials, which include 10 years in finance, the report said. She says she is a natural Libertarian, defining "taxation as confiscation," and says legalizing prostitution and marijuana could provide $2.5 billion in revenue.
Stone denies he is using Davis to lure votes away from Democrats.
"The (presumptive) Republican candidate, Rick Lazio, is a turkey," Stone said. "Kristin will get as many gun votes from the Republicans as pot votes from the Democrats."
Just remember that when you legalize prostitution to do the other libertarian thing of getting rid of the age of consent so our 11 year old daughters can do it too.
I hate so many things these days.
Can we actually use the whore word for this one, I mean its literal this time.
Nah, Kevin Jennings does that and safe schools czar, a position he straddles easily.

Tattoos or not, I’d hit it.
That's a lie.
some libertarians
Patterson would like her. If he could see her.
She is not a Libertarian, but a tool of Republican dirty trickster Roger Stone, a “friend” of hers.
They are not at all the same.
Libertarian Party = "I want to smoke dope and screw hookers!"
For examples, see Bill Mahr and Howard Stern.
libertarian philosophy = "The minimum amount of government necessary to enforce contracts and punish those that initiate violence."
For examples see Ronald Reagan.
