Porn Star To Dine With George Bush!

Mary Carey Comes to Washington
Porn Star to Dine with Bush
By JOSHUA FRANK

Former California gubernatorial candidate and popular porn star Mary Carey, whose real name is Mary Cook, will be joining her boss Mark Kulkis in attending a dinner with President Bush on June 14.

Not kidding. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is hosting the swank fundraising event, where hundreds of well-heeled Republicans will be corralled in DC to hobnob with President Bush. Over the course of the two-day event, conservative interest groups will be talking with Bush administration officials about real "important" issues. As usual, money buys access: An individual ticket to the dinner festivities alone costs $2,500. And no, Laura won't be sharing any new jokes with the crowd.

"I'm hoping to run as Lieutenant Governor of California next year," said Carey, who was arrested in Tacoma, Washington for touching herself in a sexual manner this past week. "Since Arnold is a Republican, I thought this dinner would be a great networking opportunity for me."

"I'm honored to be invited to this event," Kulkis said. "Republicans bill themselves as the pro-business party. Well, you won't find a group of people more pro-business than pornographers. We contributed over $10 billion to the national economy last year." She's got a point I suppose. "I'm especially looking forward to meeting Karl Rove," Carey said about her forthcoming visit to DC. "Smart men like him are so sexy. I know that he's against gay marriage, but I think I can convince him that a little girl-on-girl action now and then isn't so bad!"

2. Not A Duplicate Article
I just checked your links and this is not a dupe. It's on the same subject matter but it is a different article not linked in your post.

Thanks anyway!

3. The article from Counterpunch, IMO, adds nothing. Instead it falls for
Edited on Sat May-21-05 01:09 PM by NYCGirl
the original press release from Carey's company. They have no special access other than the other who are attending.

BTW, Ms. Carey ran for CA governor as a Democrat.

Edited for clarification.

4. Your Point Is?
Edited on Sat May-21-05 01:19 PM by Itsthetruth
In your humble opinion you don't think the CounterPunch article adds anything. I do. I'm sorry if you think the CounterPunch article was being unfair to George Bush. I don't agree.

7. This Porn Worker Is Doing Just Fine Thank You
I don't think this particular "porn worker" needs to organize a labor union in order to win better pay, benefits and end her "exploitation". She's certainly a millionnaire.

8. I know a number of porn workers. They don't deserve to be lumped in
with the people in the White House — nor would they even bother if it weren't good publicity, as in Ms. Carey's case.

BTW, I spent lots of time hanging with the Mitchell Brothers back in the days and all the people who were in that group. I was even asked to work with them, but I was a "serious actress" back then, so I passed.
