Send me your best "taxpayer-screwing" joke ...
Mary Carey, a former porn star who ran for California governor in 2003, has decided to run for public office again. She’s running for the California State Assembly in District 43 (as Mary "Carey" Cook), and her name will be on the ballot in November.
I was going to make some derogatory comments 'bout Ms. Carey, er, Cook, but then I ran across a statement she issued regarding her decision to run for a seat in California's legislature ...
"I have always loved politics and know that the State Assembly would be a better position to begin my career in politics. I want to energize people into caring about local politics again – much like we’ve seen in the national primaries. But unlike one of the presidential primary contenders, I’m actually a politician you’d want to get screwed by!"
That statement is more profound than anything I've ever heard from my local state representative, Democratic Rep. Sherry Jones, I tell you what. Reckon what it'd take to get Mary "Carey" Cook to come out here (no pun intended) to District 59 to take on Sherry "I'm 60 But I Dress And Comport Myself Like I'm 20" Jones? Wait, maybe I don't want to know the answer to that question!
