If you didn’t see the fine, fine specimen of retardation known as Mary Carey tonight on the Daily Show, you really must watch it here (@ crooksandliars.com, a truly awesome site). Plus, it showcases a few more reasons why I love Stephen Colbert… and a few more reasons why porn people really scare me. I mean, I’m a very visible female pro-porn pundit, but this woman is so embarrassing I can’t even defend her in relation to porn on any intellectual level — not that I’d *ever* endorse any of her company’s lame, offensive titles. It’s just too bad that this is the “new” face of porn America/the world sees on TV. There are plenty of other people in and around the porn industry that, if given that type of press, could be articulate and serious, and finally start to change the conversation around porn and sex in this country, move it to the next level. It’s so sad that she’s like a 13-year-old in a porn body, and being so visible. But then again, she’s representing the Republicans, so… that kind of explains it.
Oh, and on the topic of porn and politics, if you’ve been keeping up with the freedom-of-speech infringing 2257 pornography regulations, do pop into Smart Girls’ Porn Club and check out our ongoing discussion about it.
