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.

Mary Carey cannot be totally discounted, as you point out, and for those who are wondering: she says yes, they are real.
Seriously, I like the creative nature of some of her ideas. I'm not a resident of California but if I was I'd be really interested in what platform Arnold is standing on. At least Mary Carey is explaining what some of her ideas are if she were to become governor. It's likely not going to happen, any more than Gary Coleman or Larry Flynt, but some progressive thinking in California might just be welcomed, fresh air.

I wanted to pass this link along.
After years of denials by both parties, Arnold Schwarzenegger's longtime mistress Gigi Goyette finally admitted to the adulterous affair on British television -- an affair that began as statutory rape when she was 16 .
This confirms rumors that were previously published in the National Enquirer in 2001.

If you live in Florida's Tampa Bay area, keep your ears tuned to 970 WFLA-AM's A.M. Tampa Bay morning show. I'll be on at around 8:40 a.m. or so to talk about this article and the interview with Carey, herself.

John, does your mother know you have been spending time with that woman?
Wow, Mark! The things Arnie needs to wiggle out of are starting to pile up.

Actually, she does, and she was very happy about it. I know, it surprised me, too.

Probably the first governor that you would actually pay for her underwear! :)

Actually, I wouldn't pay for her underwear.
I also said I wouldn't pay to date her, this morning, on 970 WFLA's A.M. Tampa Bay, but I did say that she should take me out on a date for giving her such a nice write up.
Of course, to make the date worth her campaign's while, she would definitely have to broadcast everything live via web-cam, and someone would definitely have to get one of the networks to broadcast it as a reality TV special. Oh, and we would definitely have to link to the web-cam from here at Blogcritics.
Now that would be fun.
However, paying $5,000 to talk about the issues or paying to own a piece of her underwear, well, that's just not as entertaining to pay the high cost associated with such opportunities, if you really want to call them that.

Be careful, John. Or, your name could become, well, Mudd.

It could, especially if people continue to misinterpret what I've said. In some cases that isn't very hard to do, at all.

Yes, I heard her say the other day that it's all real; alas, the truth is somewhat at variance with this declaration. Playboy TV has been featuring every frame of video they have ever recorded of her constantly since she declared for governor, and in the interest of good government I've watched from time to time, looking for good fiction or the cartoons. Right. Anyhow, it would appear that Ms. Carey has indeed had breast implants; the scars are visible along the bottom half of her aureolae, in a hemispheric curve just inside the aureolar border. No question, though, that her surgeon did a superb job, because otherwise it would be very difficult to tell they were fake. One other thing one notices is how tight Ms. Carey is now compared to back in the day; she's a big babe (5'9"), so I'd say she's dropped 20 lbs. to get into electoral shape.

I actually saw an interview where she had asked if she had to tell the truth about her implants, prior to writing my short feature on her run for governor, and in the interview she said she had implants. I dug it up in Google.
The reason I didn't add it to the interview was basically because I didn't feel that her breasts really had much to do with her running for governor, although they did make for some witty banter in the piece.
I really don't care if they're implants, it's her body and she can do what she wants to with it.
Again, great publicity stunt, smart, sweet girl, not so sure if she'd make a great governor. I'm still not sure how she wound up doing what she's doing, other than that she probably loves sex and being the center of attention.
I hope one day she'll let me help her sell her house in Boca. =)
Cheers.

I recently downloaded some of her "work." Almost made me wish she had won...

Personally, I'm glad Arnold won. Heaven only knows what kind of circus the state of California would have been if Mary were actually its governor. Don't get me wrong, Mary's a sweet, smart and clever girl, and while I don't condone or endorse what she does as a profession, I think she does have acting talent and hope she one day finds a niche outside of porn.
Cheers.

Mary Carey for California Governor. Do you think she withdrew because of a sex scandal? At least she practices withdrawal ;) I don't see anything wrong with anyone running for office, least of all Mary. At least Mary did not sell violence like the current Governor. If you can get past her love of sex and her sex-act inducing body, she is intelligent and thought provoking. It's what's on the inside that counts after all... and her inside is very stimulating I hear. She has a body made for sex and she admits what all of us hide, she enjoys sex. What's the big deal. She should be able to indulge in who she is as well as exercise her intellectual qualities too. More would probably get done in her board room than others. Go girl!
