The Political Candidates Whose Junk We've Seen

Anthony Weiner is part of a select group that also includes porn star Mary Carey.

Anthony Weiner, who recently voiced his interest in running for New York City mayor in a lengthy New York Times Magazine profile, isn't the only candidate whose private parts have become public. He shares that honor with porn stars Mary Carey, who ran for governor of California in 2003, and Mimi Miyagi, who ran for governor of Nevada in 2006. Weiner is the only one of the three to have suggestive images unintentionally released, however. Miyagi and Carey were open about their histories in porn — Miyagi, who ran as a Republican, reportedly said, "I have nothing left to hide. [...] My slogan is, 'I'm bare and honest at all times.'"

The chart above is not exhaustive. And some seemingly likely contenders didn't qualify. Perhaps most disappointingly, Levi Johnston, who posed for Playgirl, did not actually follow through with his plan to run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.
