Mary Carey Shows She Has More To Offer California Voters Than Boobs, Alone

While few pundits have taken porn-goddess "Mary Carey" Cook's run for governor of California seriously, some still aren't sure if she's serious or if it's one brilliantly planned publicity stunt. In any case, Carey makes one thing perfectly clear - she has a bone to pick with how Gov. Gray Davis has run the state.

"I don't think Davis has done a good job and we need someone who is new to come in - someone with fresh ideas. Prices are high everywhere, unemployment is high..."

And don't forget that California's exorbitantly large deficit is much, much larger than Carey's massive 36DD boobs, although, there are probably more men interested in her boobs than the size of California's budget deficit.

Carey's opposition to how Davis has run the state and to his policies are why she is running, she told me last week during an interview. Carey is bubbly, without a doubt, but in explaining what she would do to solve California's problems, she seemed highly intelligent, although her ideas were definitely unique and probably a little bit out of most people's "boxes", even when thinking outside the box.

One of her ideas is to wire the governor's mansion with web cams, charging people $19.95 a month to see what really goes on inside the governor's mansion. Carey says she thinks Californians should have full disclosure of what goes on in the governor's mansion and that she has nothing to hide.

"The web cams will allow people to see their government at work."

It would certainly be interesting to see California's government at work with her as head of state.

She said the money from the program could go toward increasing California school funding, which she says is in dire need of being increased.

Carey, who said she wants to be the "female Bill Clinton" may get her wish if name recognition plays an important role in this election. She's appeared on everything from the E! Entertainment Network to Fox's O'Reilly Factor so far, and I have a feeling that her TV and other media appearances will continue throughout the campaign. She said people were even calling her from Australia for interviews.

Her appearances are certainly bringing porn more into the mainstream. She said she does want porn to become more mainstream in the future, but she is passionate about wanting to make sure that children do not see it.

Some of her issue positions are more widely known than others. Her proposal to tax breast implants is one of these issues. She says it's a great replacement for the widely unpopular car tax.

"Why should we tax cars when more people need cars - poor people, middle class people and rich people too - when we can tax a luxury item that mostly wealthy people use, like breast implants, or other cosmetic surgery."

Carey also says her program, Porn for Pistols will be beneficial.

"If people are trading their guns, there will be less violence."

She did say that one of her opponents, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is known for his violent roles in movies, doesn't need to enroll in "Porn for Pistols", though.

That's because Arnold once claimed in one of his movies that working out for him is like "coming" over and over again, Carey said.

While critics have sneered and laughed at her for even running for governor, Mary Carey believes that she will increase voter turnout in California by running for governor.

"More people will vote in this election who haven't voted before."

"I think it's important to get people involved in politics."

Mary Carey is certainly different than any candidate for governor on California's ballot this year, or any year, for that matter, and she's most certainly different than any other girl I've ever met during this lifetime.

While I'm not sure if her ideas would be effective in solving all of California's problems, they certainly would help solve some of them, although, I do not foresee the California Legislature enacting them into law anytime soon, and I'm not sure about how much public support they would gain.

I do believe that Mary Carey is highly underestimated by those who think she is just some dumb, big-boobed blond who stumbled into a multi-million dollar porn career. Her ideas may be a little bit different than yours or mine, but she does deserve credit for contributing her ideas to the debate, and perhaps even going where and doing what no porn star before her has ever done before - submit herself and her profession to the challenges and disclosures of running for governor of the Great State of California.

Carey can be seen tomorrow night and every Monday night on Playboy TV's Totally Busted. You can click here for recent news articles to find out more about Mary Carey and the California recall election.
