Loretta Sanchez is Playboy's Favorite Politician

Posted by: Tomahawk | 12/27/2007 12:11 PM

Martin Wisckol of Total Buzz just put up another post on Loretta Sanchez's fundraising activities:

Playboy mogol Hugh Hefner has mixed allegiances when it comes to the presidential candidates, having given $4,600 to Hillary Clinton and $2,300 to Barack Obama.

But when you look at all $28,400 that he's given to candidates since 1996, there is no question who his favorite is: Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Garden Grove, is the only one he's contributed to every election cycle in 1996, giving her a total of $11,500, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' roundup at opensecrets.org.

Hef and Loretta have made headlines before. At the time of the 2000 Democratic Convention in L.A., Sanchez scheduled a fundraiser for Hispanic Unity USA at Hef's Playboy Mansion. The ensuing brouhaha resulted in her being removed as a speaker at the convention -- and then being reinstated when she agreed to relocate the fundraiser.

I'm already looking forward to next year's Holiday Card from our favorite Congresswoman.

Tomohawk,
Dont you mean "Christmas Card"?

Why do you keep trying to take the Christ out of Christmas?

The Captain said:

He probably should have enclosed Holiday Card in quotes, as in "Holiday Card."

But I think he is referring to the card as Loretta refers to it.

This post is nothing out of the ordinary for Martin Wisckol. He is always taking slight swipes at Democrats. Just below this post, Wisckol writes, "Now and then, Democrats in the county seem to get in front of Republicans on an event or issue, and that seems to be the case with the (Iowa caucus) watch parties."
Why was Wisckol looking up the contributions of Hugh Hefner in the first place? Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler Magazine, gave to the National Republican Congressional Committee, but Wisckol does not mention that.

T-Hawk---You're a little obsessed with Loretta and the cards. Go get yourself a room at the "Holiday Hotel".

Tomahawk said:

To Anon 1:17 PM -- I mean "Holiday Card" because Loretta doesn't mail out Christmas card.

To Bladerunner -- I'm not a little obsessed, I just thought there is a small connection between Loretta's holiday cards and her bunny friends.

Orange Coast College was selected as one of Playboy's favorite colleges. What's the point?
