Posted on Las vegas Weekly: Porn queen Mary Carey, who once ran as a candidate for California governor, was at Iron Chef Kerry Simon’s Cathouse restaurant in the Luxor. She says she’s going to solve the state’s massive economic woes by “stripping for dollars” on a caravan tour of the 10 major cities in California. “The more people donate, the more clothes I take off,” she told me excitedly.

She wants to have San Jose beat out San Diego on her Striptease tour and vows to take everything off by the time she takes the balanced budget funds to Sacramento as a gift to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
