Porn star Carey attends Republican fund-raiser
Candidate for California lieutenant governor rubs elbows with D.C. high rollers

WASHINGTON - Porn star, political candidate. And now you can add one more line to Mary Carey’s résumé: Republican booster.

Carey was in Washington on Tuesday to attend the President’s Dinner, an annual fund-raiser put on by the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

A few hours before the dinner, Carey met with reporters to show off her evening gown and talk about a Republican lunch she and her boss, adult film executive Mark Kulkis, attended.

“I met a lot of nice people,” Carey said of the lunch, where presidential adviser Karl Rove spoke. “I met some people who talked about helping me with donating money to my next campaign.”

She plans to run for lieutenant governor of California next year as an independent. But her trip to Washington has swayed Carey’s political leanings. She says she’s been a Republican “for a couple of days.”

Who says we're not inclusive? Everyone's welcome under the tent. (Although, if I were Mrs. Rove, I'd make sure she was just rubbing 'elbows'.)

Actually, this is encouraging in a weird way: most of the "adult entertainment" industry is even more kneejerkingly leftwing than mainstream Hollywood. If she's really with the GOP now, she could probably turn out a fair number of people who otherwise wouldn't vote to vote for Arnold and, hopefully, Tom McClintock, who's the most likely (and best possible) LG nominee.

Probably because conservatives are always trying to put them out of work. If Santa Ana/Orange County had even half the gazillions they spent trying to shut down the Mitchell Brothers' theatre all those years ago (even made it to the Supreme Court) to put towards the school system instead, maybe my kid wouldn't have had to go to private school just to ensure he had his own set of books, instead of 1 for every 3 kids.

On the upside, schmaybe she'll have room on her campaign bus for blog reporters. Then Mr. Summers can hop aboard and be our West Coast source; our 'Deep Throat', as it were.

That's LG for "Lieutenant Governor," Mr. B. And THS, you would really think that would make them libertarians, not socialists.

Say "Deep Throat" again, THS. I do love it so...
