The Daily Caller: So you’re running for governor of New York. How is this different than the stripper Stormy Daniels running for the Senate in Louisiana or Mary Carey running for governor of California?
Kristin Davis: Those girls are porn stars and I am a businesswoman. They ran as a publicity stunts and I am running to make an important point and to further a reform, Libertarian-based agenda that is common sense and in which I think any New Yorkers privately agree.
Freedom — personal freedom and economic freedom — is the only thing that can save New York.
The DC: Some people might say that your campaign is a vendetta against Eliot Spitzer since you got busted and he didn’t. You have, after all, retained master dirty trickster Roger Stone, a known tormenter of Client No. 9, to guide your campaign. Some say your relationship is more than platonic.
KD: My campaign is about getting as many votes as possible for a radical agenda that both increases our personal freedom and would restore our state’s economic health at the same time highlighting the inequities in our justice system. Women and poor people are getting the short end of the stick. Rich people — like Spitzer — walk.
I love Roger Stone, but I don’t comment on my personal relationships. I’m asked constantly about my relationship with A-Rod. A lady doesn’t kiss and tell!
Politics is new to me. It’s all very phony. I have never run for office. I’m really an introvert and a little shy. I don’t know how to run an effective campaign. I have retained someone who understands all this but I am the one with my name on the ballot so in the end I am one who will win or lose.
The DC: How realistic is legalizing prostitution?
KD: Prostitution is known as the oldest profession. Although, now that I am in politics I am finding huge similarity between politicians and prostitutes. In fact, the members of the New York state legislature are no better than the girls who used to work for me. They are all doing it for money.
It’s ridiculous that we have a “political class” that is corrupt, incompetent, dysfunctional and so self-interested.
People ask me how I could be governor. I say, how could I do any worse than the clowns we have in Albany now? I mean — Spitzer, Paterson, Silver, Monseratte, Hevesi?
Please! Incompetent clowns! Buffoons. Hacks. Bottom-feeders. These guys couldn’t hold a real job where you have to make a profit.
Legalizing prostitution could protect the public health, increase the public safety and produce billions in new revenues at a time we are $7 billion short in the next budget. Prostitution is a $10 billion business in New York if you include so-called “rub and tug” massage parlors. I say license it — require safe sex and health check-ups for sex workers — and tax it, and then cut the income and property taxes, which are the real job killers.
The DC: Pot?
KD: It’s ridiculous that alcohol is legal and marijuana is not. Alcohol is far more damaging to the body and impairs the person more. As for pot — gateway drug, my a**! Just not so. No real study proves it.
New York has millions of pot users. They would gladly pay tax, particularly if all legal danger was removed and quality was standardized. State-run dispensers. Really good stuff. I won’t be using myself. I don’t do drugs or alcohol. The revenue to the state would be huge. We could slash the income tax rates.
What my proposal is, is realistic. New York can collect $2 to $4 billion.
