Mary Carey , Porn Star to Debate Calif. Recall

Yahoo! News - Ex-Child Star, Porn Star to Debate Calif. Recall


Diminutive actor Gary Coleman (news) and porn actress Mary Carey were unveiled on Friday as two of the five candidates set to compete in the Game Show Network's "debate" ahead of California's unprecedented gubernatorial recall election.

The winner will get a $21,200 "campaign donation," the most allowed from a corporation under state campaign finance laws.


Pressed on why she was getting involved in what has become a media circus, Carey insisted that her aims were noble in both running in the election and participating in the debate.


"I registered a whole bunch of strippers and porn stars that were never registered voters," she said.

After introducing the two candidates who were "seeking to preside over the once-great state of California," Kennedy ran a mock session between the two of them.

Asked to spell "Schwarzenegger," as in Arnold Schwarzenegger (news), the Republican actor-turned-politician who leads the pack of candidates in most polls, Carey asked "Can I have a pen and paper?"
