Porn Valley There’s some things that Ron Jeremy can’t talk about yet. And knowing that must be grueling enough for Jeremy. Because a couple of weeks ago Ron met Sen. John Kerry in Florida. They had a chat in private but it was understood that Kerry couldn’t be photographed publicly with him. And wouldn’t that have been a photo op?

Jeremy’s also saying, if Kerry wins the presidency, there will be even a bigger story to tell because of what they had chatted about in private. “I made a promise that I wouldn’t discuss it until a few weeks from now,” says Jeremy. “I can’t be specific about it.” [Probably Kerry’s stance on condoms.]

Jeremy happened to be in Florida at the time doing an Internet movie called The Apprentice. “I played a Donald Trump character and I worked with Vicky Vette. I was also shooting a horror film which you can see on www.deadmeatmovie.com.” Through a friend of his, named Brad who runs a clinic, Jeremy was invited to meet Kerry. “I cancelled a day of shooting,” said Jeremy. “The Secret Service searched me. They did the whole wand-thing and they posed for many photographs with me.”

Early voting had begun in Florida for the elderly. “My friend Brad was doing such good things for the community, they chose his clinic as a place for John Kerry’s rally,” Jeremy explained. “It was West Palm Beach.” Jeremy got a call from his friend who told him it had been cleared with Kerry’s campaign manager to meet him.

“The rally was being held in the shopping center which is attached to the clinic,” explains Jeremy. “I was there for the entire rally. Before Kerry got there – through his personal aide- Kerry said it was okay to meet with Ron Jeremy but not when there was any media around, although it was okay to say hello. He did his rally. I stayed in the back and avoided media as best as I could. Although I had a couple of questions asked of me. The Secret Service escorted me to a couple of media who asked to speak to me. But I kept it pretty nonchalant. I spoke about Democrats versus Republicans. I made two comments- I’ve always supported Democrats because of their attitude on stem cell research, cloning, DNA research, my industry, abortion rights, gay rights, etc. I also told the media that I’m part of a $6 billion business and most people in it want John Kerry to win. I kept it nonchalant.”

What Jeremy is at liberty to say about the meeting is that he [Jeremy] was on the second floor balcony of the clinic as Kerry rejoined the motorcade. “His aide points to me. He [Kerry] opens up his window and gives me a smile and a thumbs up. I gave it back to him. That kind of made my day.”

Jeremy recalls another instance where he once met George Bush Sr. at Planet Hollywood when they had the big opening in Las Vegas. “I don’t know if he knew who I was,” said Jeremy. “But the Secret Service did. When a photographer at Planet Hollywood said why don’t you go back and take a photo, I went to shake his hand. The Secret Service guy got right in the way of the camera. He gave me a big smile. He said, “Ron you got the handshake. I said, you’re right. That’s enough.”

Jeremy said he’s also aware of the fact that no president’s going to pose for a photograph with him. “There was no way I was going to take a picture with Kerry and I was okay with that.”

I mention to Jeremy what would have been funny is if Kerry took him aside and asked him what Jenna Jameson was really like.

“I’d love that,” said Jeremy. Just recently Jeremy was also honored with a plaque from Trinity College in Dublin. “It was for affecting culture in the world. It was a very nice honor.” Jeremy said he had made Xeroxes of the plaque with the promise from Kerry’s campaign manager, that he would sign it when opportunity availed. “Then he’s going to be down in the library with Clinton in Arkansas in two weeks. He’s going to have Clinton sign the other one. Hopefully I’ll have the two autographs. If Kerry loses you can report that Ron Jeremy met a senator from Massachusetts.”

I talk to Jeremy about Al Goldstein. jeremy said he’s trying to get Goldstein a job in upstate New York helping to manage a topless club. “I hope that’s going to work out. And he might be writing for Cigar Magazine.”
