Mary Carey

Mary Carey (born Mary Ellen Cook on June 15, 1980 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American erotic actress and tongue-mostly-in-cheek politician. Her stage name comes from the fact of her remarkable facial resemblance to the musician Mariah Carey.

Political ambitions

In June 2005, Carey announced her desire to run for Lieutenant Governor of California as an Independent in 2006. She also attended a GOP fund-raiser with the president of the company that produces her porn videos and announced that she has become a Republican. Given her previous political record, however, it remains to be seen if she (or Californians) will take her candidacy seriously. However, she would not be the first adult actress to win public office if her future bids are successful, as Italian porn-star Cicciolina was elected to the Italian Parliament. Many members of the press forecasted that she would do something inappropiate at the dinner or arrive in inappropriate attire, as a publicity stunt, however she was dressed formally for the occasion and did nothing out of the ordinary. Some, including Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, believe that her new political leanings are an organized attempt to embarrass Republicans by showing a porn actress in the same dining hall with President Bush and affiliated with the Republican Party.
