Italian porn star Milly D'Abbraccio made news last week when she entered the political arena, rear first. Calling herself the "derriere of the Socialist party", D'Abbraccio is running for a seat in Rome's city hall using campaign posters that show off her bottom. "People don't want to see these politicians' faces anymore," she has said of her campaign tactics. Her previous political experience includes a role in the adult film L'Onorevole, in which she played a hot and bothered speaker of the lower house of parliament. Of course, Milly isn't the first porn actress to thrust into politics, or the first Italian, for that matter:
