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.
