hey - I should put my hat in the running too! I'm over 30 and have no relevant experience! Knew losing my 20's was good for something...

I think its sad because while neither have any real experience in government, at least Fran Drescher is (or was?) an official US diplomatic envoy. That technically is more than Ms Kennedy's government service resume.

Sure we _elect_ unqualified officials all the time. But appointing one? When we need someone with political experience up on Capital Hill, who can help funnel some more bailout $$$ our way? Not the time when I want a political virgin up there, even a well connected one.

Do I want Cuomo (or Suozzi or any of the other 2010 potentials) as Senator? I don't particularly care. But at least they know something about NY politics. Not to mention how the government really works - which would make them vast improvements.
