Don’t forget wrestler Jesse Ventura! He was Governor of Minnesota for a term.

RR, ah yes, how could I forget about Arnie. He would have run for President was there not a requirement that US President was born in the US. Some argue (the “birthers”) that this didnt’ stop Obama. But given Arnie has driven the state of California into deep bankruptcy, thank God he never made it to the White House. And he is married to a Kennedy, to boot…ah, dynasties and celebrities…what would US politics be without ‘em: boring but perhaps a little more competent!

During Scott Brown’s acceptance speech last night, he told the world his daughters (two of them) ‘are available’. What was that meant to achieve? His daughters and wife look horrified when he said this. Ayla performed at the victory party. But why am I not surprised about the election of another US politician who (i) was a Cosmo bachelor of the year with semi-nude centrefold 20-30 years ago; and (ii) daughter is on American Idol; and (iii) wife is a presenter on the local TV news. America’s obsession with celebrity knows no bounds. Wasn’t Sonny Bono also a US senator at one point before he carked it skiing into a tree? and Al Franken was just elected to the senate for Minnesota,. Nuf said. Teddy Kennedy will be rolling over in his grave.
