Vladimir Luxuria, Italy's Transgender Communist MP

It's been 18 years since Italians elected Ilona "Cicciolina" Staller to parliament, a giving and eager porn-star-turned-politician who has (at various times) offered to make love to both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden (at different times) in the name of peace.

This week, Italy elected Vladimir Luxuria to parliament, making Vladimir Italy's first Transgender Communist MP.
