'Porn star candidate offers date to big donors'

[FreeperSlayer]

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - No sex please -- this is politics.

Porn actress Mary Carey, one of 135 candidates running for California governor, offered on Tuesday to go on a date with anyone offering her a hefty campaign contribution. But that is it, just a date.

Carey said she would offer a dinner date to anyone giving more than $5,000 (3,150 pounds) to her campaign that seeks to replace Gov. Gray Davis if he is recalled by voters on October 7.

"As an independent, I don't have a large political party backing me," she said in a statement. "So I have to be creative and develop more unconventional methods of raising money."

4. 5 grand is probably about what she makes for doing a film.

Now she thinks a no-sex date is worth that much?

Interesting platform she has. Some I like. Other parts I'm not sure about, I'd need to read more.

6. Porn for pistols is bloody *brilliant*

That's probably the smartest gun control plan I've ever seen.

A win-win situation all around...
