Carey Torrice is back.
The controversial former county commissioner, once dubbed one of the hottest politicians in America, is urging her Facebook followers to join the “Carey Torrice Revolution.”
The model/actress/private eye is steering people to her website, where a page is devoted to the revolution. She doesn’t explain what the revolution is about;  she only declares that: “Carey Torrice is a revolutionary trend to follow for a lifetime.”
The page features a drawing of a woman apparently adorned in an American Revolutionary Army uniform. (I’ll leave the accuracy of that aspect to someone else.) It also offers a photo of a blonde woman who looks more like Charlize Theron than Carey Torrice.
Never one to shy away from self-promotion, Torrice claims on her web page that her site has experienced more than 2 million hits since it was created and that she has 50,000 followers on Twitter and Facebook. On one of her three Facebook pages, she claims 20,000 followers on the two social media networks. But that could be old information.
Speaking of old information the “revolution” web page also says the Clinton Township Democrat is No. 16 on the Google Trends list. But that list shows that she fell off the charts in mid-2010 – just as her political career was self destructing.
Torrice lost her seat in the November 2010 election but she still lists herself as a Macomb County commissioner on one Facebook “Info” sites.
She also refers to her political party as “politically blonde” and describes herself as a “blonde bombshell” and a “beach goddess.” She lists herself as the CEO of the Eye Spy Detective Agency in Fraser, the firm started by her husband, Mike.
Torrice mentions that she appears on the cable TV show “Holly’s World Actress” and that she is an occasional cover girl for the Macomb Monthly tabloid.
No mention, of course, of the alleged arson of her family home, which led a civil jury to conclude Mike and Carey had engaged in insurance fraud. And definitely no mention of the stakeout and hit-and-run/set-up they arranged in a Keystone Cops attempt to destroy then-Commissioner Jeff Sprys’ reputation.
But, hey, Carey is great for the newspaper business.
Let the revolution begin.
