'PLAYGIRL' EDITOR FIRED AFTER OUTING SELF AS REPUBLICAN

Drudge Report

[Babu]

PLAYGIRL editor-in-chief Michele Zipp has been stripped of her duties after she revealed how she voted Republican in the 2004 election.

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 Republican editor, I have a strong suspicion that my position was no longer valued by Playgirl executives. I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, "I wouldn't have hired you if I knew you were a Republican.

"I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views."

I second beyond's request. Great episode. George, you hotty, you. That pose. That settee. That sizzle expression. ;-)

You ain't misbehavin', are you?

Burt! That was an Oldie But Goodie. I remember my Aunt having that edition when I was a teen and we'd sneak off to the locked bathroom and giggle over it whenever we could. My mother (her sister) would've KILLED us. Sweet contraband, LOL! :)

Strategically placed staples, unfortunately. ;)

He never looked better. I can even see his ribs.

Seriously, I wonder how hard it was to get him to take this shot!

Your use of the word "risque" is interesting. Some would call it a bit cheeky and others would call it pornography. By today's standards, the consensus would probably favor the former.

Perhaps she could do an intership under Laura Ingram or Anne Coulter or Monica (the blond across from Michael Regan). Lets get her on TV if she is a good conservative.

Angie Harmon is still the hottest republican around!!

[Miss Behave]

I'm ALWAYS a GOOD girl. ;-)

Especially when I'm sleeping.

Darn!

Fixed your typo. :o)

[Miss Behave]

I've found that it can be an effective means of taking down my *victim*, beyond. Heh heh. ;-)

[Miss Behave]

Ranks a rot, B. I knew you were onto me...but now the kitty's out of the bag. ;-)

You'll get yours.

How hard was it to get him to take the shot?

I believe an order of hotwings and a beer were involved.

[StoneColdGOP]

Crazy!

[Logic n' Reason]

Isn't porn just some fast way of saying popcorn?

If that's how you want to define it, that's ok by me!!

And she'll write a book and hit the same shows again......
