SACRAMENTO – Prince Frederic von Anhalt – Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband and a tabloid fixture – says he’s ready for his next role: governor of California.
On Wednesday, the flamboyant socialite said he and his lawyer will file candidacy papers at the secretary of state’s office in Sacramento.
If he follows through, von Anhalt would be the only independent in a field that includes Republicans Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner and the presumed Democratic candidate, Attorney General Jerry Brown.
His political platform includes lifting the import ban on Cuban cigars, and legalizing marijuana and prostitution, then taxing them all.
He said he was motivated to run by watching the mistakes of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who he says has let Californians down.
