Senator Nanny

Now Fran Drescher says she wants to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate.

“I’ve just been given the appointment of U.S. diplomat,” she said at a party for Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven at that restaurant on December 3. “My title is public diplomacy envoy for women’s health issues, and I just got back from a four-country European tour of duty. I believe next I’ll be sent to the Middle East.” Also an anti-cancer activist, Drescher has been considering a run for office. “I’ve been very successful in getting a bill passed in Washington,” she said. “I was thinking I’d take the next four years to lay some groundwork, but I’m throwing my hat in the ring.” What else makes her a good candidate? “I’m an authentic and honest person,” she said. “And I think Capitol Hill needs more of that.”

Drescher has as much public office experience as Caroline Kennedy (none). Can you imagine her voice going on and on during a Senate filibuster? I think we’d get a surrender from the GOP in under ten minutes.
