Rumors of Michael Bloomberg considering a run for the presidency has been reported by the New York Times on January 23. We are pleased to announce here at the NIP that Hugh Hefner is throwing his hat into the ring. We reached out to his campaign spokesman, girlfriend Holly Madison and asked what persuaded Hef to jump in:
When Hef heard that Mike [Bloomberg, ed.] was considering running, Hef decided it was Hef’s patriotic duty to run as a third party candidate. After all, Hef set the stage for the Lewinsky scandal with his influential Playboy Philosophy he published back in the 60’s. His pollsters indicate he has now better brand recognition than Trump. It also will give him something new to write about since Playboy has abandoned nudity.
We wish Hef well and hope that our NIP readers will help spread the word.
