Reply #177: Yeah, the difference is, Mary's purposely inserting her sexuality into... [View All]

the equation.

If she were serious, I'd think she'd say "OK, so I used to be a porn star, but that was another life, and now I am older and wiser and I want to put that in the past. I want to do something worthwhile with my life. I really do want to get into politics to help people." Instead, she comes off as a Pat Paulsen type...a novelty candidate. I mean, everyone knew Pat Pausen wasn't *really* running for President, it was just an extended joke. That's what Mary's like...an extended joke. When she talks about what she'd do if elected, it's all a joke...putting Web cams on her and Ahnold and the like. I guess when she was in the gubernatorial runoff, she said that part of her platform was that women with artificial breasts in California should be taxed and women with normal breasts should not be taxed. (Causing Jay Leno to say "See, that's good...she's reaching out to minorities.")

It will take more than giggling and maraca-shaking and coming on to every man she meets and voicing silly "platform ideas" and making jokes about "screwing people" to really become a viable candidate for public office. (And in case anyone is wondering, yes, I DID miss typing the "l" in "public" the first time.) But possibly what Keith sees in all this is a woman who's very smart about how to get herself lots of publicity, and not afraid to embarrass a few people who deserve embarrassing in the process. And think about it--how many porn stars get known in the mainstream? This one will always be known as "the one who ran for public office." She may consider that alone an accomplishment, especially once she feels she's too old to make any more money off "the life."
