Should We Care if Bill Clinton Posed with Porn Stars?

The picture is of Clinton at a gala he co-hosted with Prince Albert of Monaco, to benefit the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the William J. Clinton Foundation. You’re asking, why there were porn stars there? We don’t know. There were also, according to reports, “legit stars” at the event like Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson of Pacey Witter fame. But the photo of note we get from this event is Bill standing next to Brooklyn Lee, star of Secretaries 4 (she’s the one who tweeted the pic) and, on the other side,Tasha Reign, also of sexy movies including Farm Girls Gone Bad. The third woman, the one furthest from Bill’s arm, was identified on Twitter as @jennifer_taule. 

What are we to make of all this? As Wyatt Stanz of the blog Distriction spun it: ”President Obama, Bill Clinton sees your ‘cool’ and raises you ‘porn star cool.’” Pray tell, what is “porn star cool”? Further, do we even know Bill Clinton knew of these ladies’ jobs? No. But the impact of Bill Clinton plus porn stars is enough to merit a click in this gossip hungry (rather sexually suppressed) day and age. It’s nostalgic, as the British tabloids would have you believe, harkening back to those nearly ancient, sometimes forgotten days of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Plus, we get to return to the imagined mad wife stereotype of Hillary, who’s probably hitting Bill on the head with an rolling pin right now for his indiscretions. Right?
