WASHINGTON -- The annual President's Dinner, a Republican Party fundraising event featuring President George W. Bush, could get an extra dash of spice this year.
That's because porn actress and former California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey is planning to attend.
The porn industry and the Republican Party may seem like a strange pairing. But Carey said she sees the dinner as a good opportunity to learn more about their policies and do some networking. She plans to run for lieutenant governor of California as an independent next year.
Carey acknowledged that some people just think of her as a busty blonde who does porn films, but she said she also has a brain and political aspirations.
Carey was one of 135 candidates on the ballot to replace California Gov. Gray Davis in the 2003 recall election. Voters picked another actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
