A Republican for a couple of days.

Mary Carey, porn star and California gubernatorial candidate (she was soundly trounced by Arnold Schwartzenegger, and everyone else in the field) was in Washington to attend The President's Dinner, an annual fundraiser put on by the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Ms. Carey modeled her evening gown for assembled gawkers - no - reporters and talked 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."

Yeah, I'll bet. She says she is going to run for lieutenant governor in the next election. And under which of the two mighty national political banners will she run?

She says she's been a Republican "for a couple of days."

I have been searching my voluminous porn library, which takes up 6 rooms of my 8 room house, and I cannot find any art featuring Mary Carey. Still searching - maybe in the basement?

Further thought: Yes, but she's a white Christian so it must be OK by Howard.
