WASHINGTON – Triple-X porn star Mary Carey, who last night dined for the second year in a row with Republican bigwigs at a fund-raiser featuring President Bush, says some drunken GOP activists "hit on her" at such events.

While the National Republican Congressional Committee had no problem taking money from Cary and her pornographer escort, the hard-core starlet complained that other members of the GOP wouldn't allow her to attend a luncheon last week in the capital.
She told Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto yesterday she thinks some in the party are "afraid of me because, you know, they think that they might lose a lot of their voters because I know that a lot of the Republican voters were, you know, really strong Christians."

Asked how the Republicans treat her personally, she replied: "Well, the women were kind of snobby with me on the phone. They were like, 'I understand that Mary Carey wants to attend the dinner.' But, the guys in the NRCC are very, very nice. I signed autographs for the Secret Service last time I was there. I've gotten hit on by lots of drunk Republicans."
She declined to provide names.

Carey was the talk of the town last night in the nation's capital for her second appearance in as many years at the major Republican fund-raiser today.
Singer-actress Jessica Simpson, the star of "Dukes of Hazzard," spurned an offer to attend the same gala because she didn't want to politicize her favorite charity.
Simpson was in town to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas with facial deformities. According to Reuters, those close to Simpson said she declined a request to appear that same evening at the fund-raiser for the NRCC – even after she was offered a face-to-face, private meeting with Bush.
Meanwhile, Carey, a former novelty candidate for California governor , did attend the United to Victory dinner with Bush. She also had lunch at a related event the day before where Bush adviser Karl Rove was the guest speaker.
"I'm really excited to be going back to Washington, D.C., to see the president again," said Carey. "Everyone thinks that politicians are stuffy, but we all had a great time last year, and I had fun signing a lot of autographs. Wait till they see that I have lost 20 pounds since the last time they saw me. Watch out Mr. President!"

Asked by WND last year about the propriety of the Republican Party collecting $5,000 from a pornographer and the example such an appearance set for the moral climate of the nation, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said: "I think you need to direct those questions to the committee itself."
When WND contacted the NRCC about the Flag Day event, Forti said, "They've paid their money. No matter what they do, the money is going to go to help elect Republicans to the House."
Carey, whose real name is Mary Ellen Cook, says she was named after the Mary Ellen character on "The Waltons" TV show. Born in Cleveland, she was raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., studied theater in college, and worked jobs in restaurants before trying stripping and then making the decision to enter the world of celluloid sex.

"I kind of wanted to be a porn star," she said. "I wasn't raped or abused."
With a Lutheran grandmother, Carey says she attended church regularly until the age of 12.
Despite having numerous sexual partners, she remains proud of her occupation.
