`Nanny' state? Drescher eyes Clinton's Senate seat

***facepalm***

Are we that stupid folks?  First, it's an appointment, not an election, second, Senato Clinton is a democrat, Governor Paterson is a democrat, stands to reason the appointee will be a democrat, third, it's New York not Alaska. 

Give it up already and grow up.

Mrs. Drescher, did you take bribes? "Ahh ananah ahhhh nananana ahhhahahann anana."

It's the perfect defense.

Will someone please offer her a talk show so we can all turn her off?

asking bimbos to run for public office

You say that like being a bimbo is a bad thing.

I think Fran will need to pay the Governor to get this office?  Oh, that's right, White Water is over, Travel Gate wasn't investigated due to power issues, hey Frank will be in like an old shoe (wish my shoes still looked that great...but the voice, a make over?)  I can hear her now, "young man...oh yung man....in her Jewish accent.)  Great looker.  Wished my late still looked that good...lol

I think they'll auction off Clinton's seat on E-Bay....comes with one of her husband's cuban cigars?  But will Fran look good in a blue velvet dress?  Of course she will!

Amazing...the previous Illinois Governor is also in jail on corruption and I believe it was involvement with organized crime.  Isn't this also the state Jimmy Hoffa and Al Capone are from?  ...and Barrack "Hussein" Obama refuses to produce a valid Birth Certificate to prove he is a natural born U.S. citizen.   I would think, if you were electing me or you, and  someone made this claim, I'd immediately have the justice department confirm my birth certificate. 

Well, as a Californian and a voter, I can say the only thing he has 'terminated' is the budget process. We are tittering on the verge of bankruptcy as a state and he hasn't done what he said he was going to do, which was to balance it. The only thing I think he has done positively is raise the 'green' mantle a little bit.

I am not so sure that he would be a worthy example of actor turned politican, the only other more famous one is Reagan. But then again, when you think about it, I guess, actually that maybe politicians are really just actors after all. They really don't 'do' anything, the work is done by their surrogates and assistants.

To me though, Caroline Kennedy would be a better Senator.

Davis had California in bankruptcy before Arnold took office.    Fran Drescher.    What next.    Bart Simpson. Or maybe the entire cast of ABC sitcoms.   The entire bunch of the whole lineup.

Its worse now, much much worse. Davis was just a prelude to what is happening now. Arnie came into office with a promise to change the government, and its only gotten worse.

He did keep one promise and that was to cut the vehicle registration fees. Had he not done that we would have been better off, because we wouldn't be going $7-8 billion in hole each year with that loss of revenue alone.

As to the article topic, yes it is getting to be a farce isn't it? They are all loony tunes.

Don't know what to think anymore.   Things keep getting worse, but promises of things getting better, astronomical.   Its time to elect Santa Claus.    At least he has his heart into making people feel better and actually does what he says.

Ok, I do agree with Santa, he is nice to all peoples. And gives coal to those who deserve it (instead of bailouts).

At least you get what you ask for as long as you've been good and he does does tell you you are getting that lump of coal, instead of a suprise when you've been (elected certain officials) bad.

Link please

She had a minor part in "This is Spinal Tap."

But close!

Oh, yeah, and now that I re-read the article, I totally forgot about Saturday Night Fever!

didn't she used to do porn?

In a perfect world, yes.

and again-you can't help yourself, can you?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Fran starred in the sitcom "The Nanny," and the title of the article is "Nanny state." Get it?

Ooooh your such a kidder.

Sometimes, you just have to spell it out to people.

Those are the only two things I remember from that show, I never really watched it.

Don't know how to spell that laugh she did on Friends.

Lol wow, thought it was the same woman.

She's hawt in a short skirt and not a carpetbagger. A definite improvement for my state over the status quo.

I'm trying hard to think of someone who wouldn't be an improvement...........I got it!!  Gdubya.

He's not a carpetbagger so he wouldn't take the job.

Sadly you're right. I live on Long Island under five tiers of government. My village of Rockville Centre sends its residents a regular newsletter. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray mails her constituents regularly as well. State Senator Dean Skelos also keeps us informed of his efforts on our behalf.

Nary a peep from Senators Clinton and Schumer and Representative Carolyn McCarthy (who was a mere LPN catapulted into the spotlight when her husband was murdered and her son was crippled by a gunman aboard a LIRR train).

The Congress is not our friends.

Thats too bad. I dont live in the area but its pretty obvious that Hillary was a hollow political choice for that position. At least Fran Drescher would actually be a product of the area and more in touch with the community.

ohhhh,,, Bush republicans demeaning Clinton again.  

John Hirsch

ohhhh,,, Bush republicans demeaning Clinton again. 

Gee, a carpetbagging senator who rarely deigned to keep her constituents informed and then went AWOL to hit the campaign trail to advance her political career. Just give her a pass, right?

Thankfully she will no longer be representing New York in the Senate. Inauguration Day can't come fast enough.

I agree with you 100%.  2 senators from each state-she is nowhere near the caliber of person we need representing us New Yorkers in Washington D.C.

Wow, are you running for  the daily "no sense of humor award"?

Yeah look how well Palin did with that

Guuuys and Gaaals

How about this approach: quit being such a 'verklemmte goy'! Ask Fran what that means! She'd laugh with us - not that the woman is witless! Let's hear what she has to say and some real issues. But let's face it: after just so many celebrities getting a turbo-launch in politics and hearing their Ben-Stiller-wisdoms on the world, the public has had just about enough! Just look cute, and thank the Lord the let you skip the 'talent part' of the pageant!

BTW, I'm not trying to 'hide prejudices'. I hate everybody equally, although I'm partial the women politicians. But I hope you make it off that high horse of yours without injury! What is its name? It is cute! But I would get a pony - they are much easier to take care of!
