Last week, when we first heard that Baton Rouge porn star Stormy Daniels was going to tackle Louisiana obstructionist Senator David "Diapers" Vitter, we thought it was one big joke.

Then the plot thickened as it started to appear that Republicans even further to the right than Vitter -- if that's possible -- were looking to take him on in Louisiana's newly modernized primary next year.

Suspicion for recruiting Daniels fell on Family Research Council head Tony Perkins, a former Louisiana senatorial candidate who thinks Vitter's serial sex scandals make him unfit to serve in the Senate.

Now that Daniels is doing interviews, however (above on CNN) with Rick Sanchez and here with Max Blumenthal, it's becoming apparent that she's one smart cookie with huge charisma and a far more sensible outlook than Vitter.
