Bush fete with porn star to raise $23 mil for GOP

WASHINGTON – Pornographer Mark Kulkis says tonight's presidential fund-raiser, which includes him and his date, XXX porn star Mary Carey, will make pop-culture history. But the National Republican Congressional Committee seems more intent on using President Bush's $2,500-a-plate speech to make political fund-raising history.

Congressional Republicans expect to add at least $23 million to their party campaign funds at the event featuring the president. The National Republican Congressional Committee raised at least $14 million for House Republicans through the gala, while the National Republican Senatorial Committee took in $9 million.

The House GOP dinner donors include adult film executive Kulkis, who plans to take porn actress and former California gubernatorial candidate Carey, who says she will stage a fashion show and news conference to display her dinner outfit before the gala.

Meanwhile, White House spokesman Scott McClellan yesterday refused to answer questions about the attendance of the porn star and her boss at the presidential dinner.

Q Since the President is scheduled to attend a Republican fundraiser on June the 14th, which will also be attended by California gubernatorial candidate and porn star Mary Carey, what guarantee does the White House have that she will do nothing pornographic at this event? What will be done if she does?

MR. McCLELLAN: Les, I haven't looked that far ahead on the President's schedule.

Q But it's important -- it's only two weeks from now. You must have some plan --

MR. McCLELLAN: Les, that's another one -- that's another one I'm just not going to get into dignifying.

Q In the photo op just now, the President said --

MR. McCLELLAN: I'm glad I started with you. (Laughter.)

Q -- regarding Egypt, he'd like to see elections as free and fair as possible in Egypt. Is that something less than free and fair? Is that a recognition that you --

10. How are the Freepers rationalizing this?

Anyone know? :shrug:

[Cats Against Frist]

14. Uh, when it comes to "lusting in their hearts,"

and objectifying women, seems the freeps forget all about Jeebus. Remember, though, keeping women down, through whatever means necessary is a "family value."

11. I suspect

Mary Carey will do something outrageous to get some publicity and she will be aided and abbetted by her date, who equally understands the value of a publicity stunt.....

this could be good......

I just cannot imagine her not taking advantage of this event....

[quaoar]

12. Maybe she's the entertainment

She could do a "performance" with Jeff Gannon.

[rniel]

13. Howard Dean needs to get in on some of this action too...

he he he...

Hell $25 million it would be worth it.

[chieftain]

15. Wasn't W a limited partner in some soft core porn outfit?

I seem to rember something like that from '00 when family values weren't important as they are now.

17. Can we get Jenna Jameson meeting with Dean?

WASHINGTON - Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography. This job, which Nguyen does earnestly from 9 to 5, surrounded by a half-dozen other "computer forensic specialists" like him, has become the focal point of the Justice Department's operation to rid the world of porn.

In this field office in Washington, 32 prosecutors, investigators and a handful of FBI agents are spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years. Nothing is off limits, they warn, even soft-core cable programs such as HBO's long-running Real Sex or the adult movies widely offered in guestrooms of major hotel chains.
Department officials say they will send "ripples" through an industry that has proliferated on the Internet and grown into an estimated $10 billion-a-year colossus profiting Fortune 500 corporations such as Comcast, which offers hard-core movies on a pay-per-view channel.
