Mariah Carey is offended

Earlier in the week, recall candidate Mary Carey wrote (well, maybe she wrote) an op-ed piece in the L.A. Times making some points about the debates. Now the Times' Roy Rivenburg attends the Carey press conference, which coincided with the premiere of her new hard-core film, to get the rest of the story.

All in all, it was a dignified exchange of ideas (and by "dignified," we mean that Carey and her pals bared their chests to the press corps, which is exactly the kind of political discourse that Hiram Johnson envisioned when he introduced the recall process in 1910).

His Recall Madness column also picks up Gray Davis' planetary madness: "We have people from every planet on the Earth in this state."
