On MSNBC Countdown last night, Mary Carey revealed just what went down at the National Republican Committee Senatorial dinner she attended this week.

Carey: I think they can drink just as much. There were some really drunk guys by the end of the night. I was getting (joking) propositions for threesomes with mistresses. I was offered money from oil tycoons!

It's pretty exciting, I didn't take any money or do any threesomes, but I was just suprised.

I thought everyone would be stuck up and no one was going to like me. Instead, everyone loved me, got drunk and took pictures with me.

So I want to keep going to Republican events. I'm a fully converted Republican now.

By the way, the far left corners of the blogosphere have been crowing that Carey's appearance at the dinner will tarnish the GOP pro family image and muddy the morality machine.

[It just may turn out] that having Mary Carey at an official GOP wasn't a PR mishap but a recuriting tool.

Was Trent Lott seated at Mary's table?

No, I don't believe that, but then sometimes I say things like, "everyone was very friendly" etc. etc. when I mean everyone or most everyone I spoke with personally. I imagine some people did do that. Not to mention some people were likely just plain nice to her. Not all Conservatives are stuck up jerks. Add to that the fact that quite a few may not have even known who she was. They may have just said hello and made small talk out of courtesy. A lot of people attended, I doubt she spoke to all of them, but have no problem believing the people she did speak to probably didn't treat her like she had the plague. Some people probably did get their picture taken with her too. I'd imagine not all of the attendees share the faith in Christ that I do.

Had I been there and come across her during the night, I'd have been friendly too. It's not like she was peddling her porn or anything.

Oh, and I have NO problem believing more than a few people might have gotten a bit tipsy.

I dunno, seems like an awful lot of money for a relatively obscure porn star to spend for a little publicity. Especially after "running" for office last year. That I could have seen as a publicity stunt, but the fact that she's apparently still at it seems to argue against it being for PR. I'm willing to say she was honest in going. Now the question is will she get anything out of it and will it change her in any way? It just strikes me that she could find a better and considerably cheaper venue to pull a stunt at which would produce a bigger yield PR-wise. And she didn't make a scene or anything which is why this didn't get all that much coverage in the media. Nah, if it was a PR stunt, something shocking would have happened. As amazing as it is to say it, I honestly think she's serious, at least about learning more about it to see if it's something she'll stick with.

Yet more proof the GOP lags the Demo party by a hair..

[Romish_Papist]

The sad reality is that if this had been a Democrat event she would have been treated much more covertly into party exile.

You think so? I don't think so, I think they would have welcomed her with open arms and praised her for her "bold" career choice or some other such nonsense.

Sometimes trust has to be earned.

Agreed, and I think she's actually started off right in trying to earn that trust by NOT acting like a porn chick or some outspoken activist while there. She apparently acted pretty normal which at least hints at honesty.

The good part is that she was not there to make the republicans suddenly go pro-porn. (like other infultrators to the republican party)

That's what I meant above. She wasn't "hawking her wares" or trying to legitimize her business or surely someone would have reported that. From all the reports, she was actually there to attend and not make a statement, other than something akin to, "Hey, I agree with these guys about such and such and I'd like to join the Party." That and they blew 5000 bucks just to go. You spend that kind of dough on a PR stunt, you d*mned well do something to get some PR. Thus far it's just been, "Hey, a porn chick went to the GOP event" and really nothing more than that. As bizarre as it sounds, it seems legit to me. Be it for her own political apirations or to support President Bush, legit either way.

But hey, I've been wrong before. :)

"Then again why would the democrat ("gay") party be interested in a natural born naked woman?"

You calling Mary Carey a "natural" woman? Shows a certain .... er ... naivete on your part if you think she's "natural".

Only the very best plastic is good enough for her!

[longtermmemmory]

I was refering to her DNA not her "accessories".

In some cultures, all they eat is vomit.
I read that once...in a book.

[Finger Monkey]

Oh, dear, I am so sorry I called you thabby. That wasn't nice. Musta been the vodka I had for breakfast.

Lick Bertha.
