Meet Stormie Janzen, a scheduler for Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who just so happens to be "single, straight, and a Scorpio." Janzen, a scheduler in Sessions' DC Senate office, maintained a personal site MySpace.com where she dished her thoughts on "dating, hanging out with girlfriends, and one of her biggest turn-ons -- men in button-fly jeans". Given the millions of MySpace.com users, her anonymous site hardly rates as unusual. In fact unless you knew where to find it, it was pretty much invisible to the world outside the confines of the MySpace community.
All of the Montgomery, Alabama now knows about Janzen's social networking and journal site because a story about it was featured on the front page of the Saturday edition of The Montgomery Advertiser, Sessions' aide revealed on sexy Internet diary
WASHINGTON -- An aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions agreed Friday to shut down her Web diary, which included a provocative photo of her bare midriff in unzipped jeans, after the office heard about a complaint, the senator's spokesman said.The funny thing about Janzen's "blog" (term used extremely loosely) is that our Google overlords know not of this Stormie Janzen MySpace site. Unless you've been given the address, there's zero chance you just stumble upon it when looking for Stormie Janzen online.Stormie Janzen would not speak to a reporter Friday, but the blog indicated she was logged onto the site Friday morning during Senate business hours.
...The Montgomery Advertiser on Thursday received an e-mail about Janzen's blog on MySpace.com, a popular site that allows users to post details about their lives and to connect with friends. By Friday afternoon, the photo was taken down and entry to parts of Janzen's site were restricted to "blog owner friends only."
Janzen, 34, who describes herself as "single, straight and a Scorpio," did not appear to use the blog to comment on congressional business.
She entered observations on dating, hanging out with girlfriends, and one of her biggest turn-ons -- men in button-fly jeans.
Chances are high that someone politically opposed to Session sent this information to The Advertiser, knowing they'd do a reactive fluff piece, just like they did. Perhaps The Advertiser should do a little investigation into the background and possible motivations of the e-mailer...
Update: The Ambiguously Gay Duo over at Wonkette also struck out in looking for the site, then magically got a copy of the alleged thong shot. It's tre disappointing. I'd venture to guess that the sender was also the tipster. Perhaps the Duo should follow up on their source...

Opinions, Nothing but Opinions do I see here.
Well, there's also the incoherent ramblings of paranoid moonbats who hijack threads about bared thirty-something midriffs to screech about Karl Rove. (If there were ever two things in this world that don't go together, Rove and bare midriffs would be them.)
Speaking of which, when can we see Stormie's midriff photo? C'mon, Kevin -- we come here for the propaganda, but we stay for the sexy pics!

I don't know who this "Mr Ho" or any of his fellow rejects from 'moonbat central' are, but they can't seem to resist bunging the FISA 'thingy' into virtually every thread.

Just remember, for every hot chick out there, somewhere there's a guy who's fed up with her shit. As a possible explanation for why she's still single (or more likely single again).
The real test is whether she'll ignore all the faux attention or attempt to turn it into a movie of the week deal on lifetime.

A Myspace page with semi-sexy photos? Lukewarm comments about her preferences in men's jeans? Absolutely shocking! I've never seen anything so risque at the innocent Myspace!
Ok (sarcasm mode off), about the only shocking thing about this story is that a search for "stormie" at Myspace turns up 47 pages of responses (none of them her). Excuse the yankee, but I never knew that was such a popular girls name in the south.
I wish I'd found her page _before_ the "Montgomery Advertiser" scared her away. Would they care to find some other good-looking 30-somethings? That would be a real public service...

Bet she weighs 150 & that's probably photoshopped photo.
No doubt she's annoying....anyone that age & single, typing a blog that nobody reads is definately annoying in person.
Sorry JT.....heard you got a girl, so that don't include you.

Remember, essentially every gun and bullet ever used by a murder or thief entered the stream of commerce legitimately at some point.
Same with knives. And Britain is actually seriously talking about regulating pointed kitchen knives. Presumably cricket bats are next.
Their public is completely disarmed and actually banned from defending themselves (they are told to run away and call the police, and not to respond even if assaulted!). And their crime rate is skyrocketing. And a large percentage of burglaries happen when people are present, because the criminals know there is nothing to fear. They're much lower in percentage here.

Imhotep, who's spreading that filthy rumor about me?
Well, it's technically correct, in that I "had" a girl. In fact, I've "had" several women with whom I was involved with for various lengths of time, to various degrees of seriousness, but at this moment "have" none.
