How could political analysis of the 2008 election be complete without the input of the bathrobe-wearing Hugh Hefner? For those who couldn't care less what Hefner thinks about politics, a video of Playmate Kendra answering a really controversial question is presented at the bottom of this story. But first, here is the Hef answering a few questions about Sarah Palin beginning with, "As an advocate of teen abstinence, is Sarah Palin a hypocrite because of her daughter's pregnancy? Is she fit to be VP?"
I wouldn't call her a hypocrite. I think, uhh, she's not the one who got pregnant. Her daughter is her own person. I just think that, uhh, Sarah and a lot of other people misguided in terms of some very serious issues. Uhh, I don't think she is in any manner, shape, or form suited to be the vice president of the United States. And particularly not suited to be the vice president of a president who is in his 70s. And, you know, a heartbeat away from the presidency. She's clearly not qualified.
And Barack Obama, with his thin resume, is qualified to be president? The next question put to Hef is almost inevitable: "Is it true you want Sarah Palin to pose for Playboy?"
Press and media are continually, you know, in the middle of other interview questions saying, "Would you like so-and-so to pose?" And what's the answer to that? If it's a celebrity of any kind the answer is, "No, I wouldn't want Sarah Palin." Of course! And then that winds up being thought of as actual news. And of course that's not news at all. Silly stuff.
I think we could pass on Hugh Hefner's political opinions but one question I would have liked to have seen asked is why do the Playboy Playmates in recent years look so artificial since most of them appear to be like department store mannequins with interchangeable bodies? Now that is a question more in line with Hef's expertise, not inquiries about politics.
Oh, and now that promised video of Playmate Kendra answering a really tough question: here.
81-years and tons of drugs have taken their toll on old pornographer.
Fake, real, old, fake.
You can see it here.
Who cares what a dirty old man who has to watch gay porn to “get off” has to say. This guy has to pay women to pose as his girlfriend so that they can get jobs on reality TV.
Damn I wish he had weighed in before I wasted my vote.
/s
I hope he’s enjoyed his life, because the afterlife is going to be a real crapper for him.
Actually, he’s holding up pretty well for 81.
Of course not. You shouldn't be over 30 if you're hanging out with a guy who's 70+.
That said, Palin in Playboy, hmmmm...... Be honest, how many here wouldn't buy that issue?
In a Keith Richards sort of way.
F off, Hugh.
And while you’re at it, why don’t you explain to me why Palin, who is a Governor of a U.S. state, would be less qualified to be vice-president, while Obama, who is a Senator, would be more qualified to be President of the United States?
I would, but only for the articles. :-)
Who cares what this perverts opinions are.
In the sixties, they were the "girl next door." Today, they're the silicone chick from the strip club. I think it makes little difference to Hefner, as he's near the end, and all he really wants to do is keep young chicks around until he's dead. The survival of the magazine is of little interest to him.
In the sixties, Playboy could pretend to be culturally relevant. Today, it's just a relatively tame skin mag sold in cellophane next to Juggs.
Playboy, BTW, has very little web presence, which is where all the soft and hardcore porn is going.
All that being said, I never thought he'd make it to 81, so have to credit him for that.
If only implants were brains.
My vote: fake, fake, penile implant, fake.
When I bought Playboy it was to look at the pictures. Most of the writing, including the jokes, was enough to make you barf.
Actually, he’s really dead, and the Playmates are holding him upright, like in Weekend at Bernie’s.
