Danielle Staub is considering painting Washington red with a run for Congress.

The woman whose past as a gun-toting, coke-snorting former “prostitution whore” became the talk of Season One of Bravo’s Real Housewives Of New Jersey isn’t even registered to vote. Nevertheless, Thomas Ammirato, a Republican strategist who is now Danielle’s rep, claims the right-wing Jersey Girl has not ruled out running against U.S. Rep Bill Pascrell, a Democrat from Paterson, NJ, to represent the Garden State in Congress next year.

Just what the government needs — another criminal!

“At this point Ms. Staub is fielding numerous offers and has ruled out nothing,” her rep told NJ.com last week. “Her advisors will be discussing her future shortly.”

While the former model serious about the prospects of a possible political run, Thomas isn’t as sure as Danielle seems to be.

“I don’t see that happening,” he said of the reality star’s Congressional hopes. “It would be the longest of political longshots … unless there’s a huge groundswell.”

Last Wednesday, June 24, a judge in Passaic County, NJ ordered an injunction banning the release of any sexually explicit video or pictures of Staub and her 27-year-old ex-boyfriend, Stephen Zalewski. Danielle, 46, claims Steve taped and photographed several of the former couple’s sexual encounters without her consent and has threatening to sale the footage to the highest bidder.

With that in mind, we’re gonna go out on a limb here and say that it is highly unlikely that Danielle will ever set foot in Congress — not unless she’s giving testimony about her past as a federal cooperator or something.

Danielle Staub was on All My Children a few nose jobs and a collagen injection ago.

More of Danielle Staub’s skeltons are coming out of the closet — although this time, the reality star’s secrets don’t involve kidnapping, extortion, or tying anyone up. SoapNet.com has discovered that before Franklin Lakes’ most famous ex-con was one of the stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, she appeared in a scene on ABC’s popular daytime drama All My Children.

In 2001, the former model shared a brief scene with Transformers actor Josh Duhamel, who played Leo du Pres on the ABC soap from 1999 to 2002.

Here’s something you won’t see on Bravo…

Danielle Staub’s penchant for whippersnappers with high sex drives is coming back to haunt her. The former boyfriend of The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s ex-con cougar claims he has a series of videos of the alleged former lady of the night engaged in various sex acts — including masturbation –and the footage could soon be headed to an adult DVD shop near you!

Steve Zalewski, 27, was recently dumped by the 46-year-old Staub last week, and in a new tell-all interview with Star Magazine, Steve is dishing the dirt on Danielle’s devious sex life and her nearly depleted bank account.

“Not only does she want to have sex all the time, but she loves the thrill of doing it in public places, where she might get caught,” Steve says of his exhibitionist ex.

Steve — who Danielle has confessed to using for sex — claims he was intimate with the single mother in cars, at a police firing range, and in a crowded local park.

“She wanted to make love in restaurant bathrooms basically every time we went out — she’d get all excited and say, ‘The people can hear you doing it outside!’”

The first season finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey aired on Bravo last night. Don’t forget to tune in to the network next Tuesday night, when the ladies discuss the explosive series ender on the reunion show!
