ARNOLD Schwarzenegger may be set to sweep California Gov. Gray Davis out of office, but porn star/fringe candidate Mary Carey garnered the lustiest applause at yesterday’s lunch at Michael Jordan’s Grand Central steakhouse sponsored by The Week magazine. Panelists Ron Reagan, Ed Klein, Tom Hayden and Barry Goldwater Jr. debated the Arnie-inspired topic, “Is California Crazy?” Carey, who was seated at a table that included Mark Green, Bernhard Goetz and Sylvia Miles, articulated her kooky campaign platform: keep California bars open ’til 4 a.m., tax breast implants and wire the statehouse with Web-cams for live Internet feeds. “We’ll charge people 20 bucks a month,” the buxom blonde enthused. “Imagine if we had that when Bill Clinton was in office – it could be really exciting!” The lunch’s other memorable quote came from former California congressman Goldwater, who defended the state with this nutty nugget: “New York is crazy, too. Where else can you get a chocolate milkshake with chocolate ice cream? Usually you can only get a chocolate milkshake with vanilla ice cream.”
