    Um, file that one under B

    Not for "B actress", but for "bad idea".

    Apparently, Fran Drescher of Nanny fame (she also had a tiny role in Saturday Night Fever) told Howard Stern that she was interested in running for the House or Senate to represent her native New York. And with her voice, who can tell if she's serious...?

    But if she is... Fran honey, remember how much the media and pundits made fun of Hillary Clinton's legs during Bill's first campaign? And the headband? You may have the bod, but... oh, where is your Yale law degree? And the voice? No one would be able to stand your stump speeches.

    Bad idea. Just bad.

    (But, admittedly funny to imagine -- it would be like Legally Blonde (2) meets... I don't know what! But Barbra Streisand would have to be involved in the project, no doubt. But at least it would take the heat off of California as the butt of every actor-wanna-be-politician joke.)
