NJ Senator RIPS Snooki -- She's a 'Degenerate'

28 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

New Jersey state Senator Joe Kyrillos is waging war with Snooki from "The Jersey Shore" -- first proposing a law because of her ... then saying she's "a degenerate." NJ politics at its finest!



Kyrillos wants a law in place that would prevent student funds from being used to finance events some students find objectionable ... this, after Rutgers forked over $32,000 to Snooki for an on-campus Q&A session.

Kyrillos went to describe Snooki as "a degenerate reality television star who offers neither useful advice nor any appreciable talents."

Ok, maybe he has a point.

1. It was a student discretionary fund

I'm no fan of Snooki, but the ramifications of this could go way beyond one appearance by a reality show cast member. I think the students should be able to pick their own speakers.

2. Oh, and PS - he should be more disturbed about the Tyler Clementi incident

also at Rutgers, than this.

3. Took me a minute to realize I wasn't at the totallylookslike website

It is easy to imagine, however, that Kyrillos is also "a degenerate reality television star who offers neither useful advice nor any appreciable talents."

5. No argument from me.

At least on his assessment of the merits of Snooki.

6. Well, it takes one to know one. n/t

7. She looks like his daughter.

They look related.

8. Wooki.

9. A waxed wooki.

10. My only regret is that Kyrillos is out of my district so I can't vote for him...

Good job, State Senator! SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE has to stand the fuck up and say that "art" should be more than what "the market" demands and just because this POS is "famous" it's for all the wrong reasons.

She's no Maplethorp, folks.
