Las Vegas- The bitter battle between Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani over which New Yorker can net more sex-industry endorsements heated up again Monday, now that Mrs. Clinton has added former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss to her list of backers.

Fleiss joins Vivid vixen Jenna Jameson, Hustler founder Larry Flynt, and Perfect 10’s Norm Zada on the Clinton bandwagon. Explains the madam-turned-coin-operated- laundry magnate, “I’m a big fan of Hillary’s… If you’re a woman and you’re smart, you have to respect her.”

This is hardly Fleiss’s first foray into the world of Democratic politics: she also recently attended an energy forum hosted by Harry Reid in Pahrump, Nevada.

Giuliani, meanwhile, lags sadly behind: his only major blue-movie backer is Savanna Samson.
