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

ALBANY, N.Y. — The star of "The Nanny" wants to go from playing nasally New Yawkers to succeeding Hillary Rodham Clinton in the U.S. Senate.

Publicist Jordan Brown delivered the straight line that Fran Drescher is serious about becoming the next junior senator from New York. Brown cited Drescher's experience as an actress, advocate for women's health and public diplomacy envoy for the U.S. State Department.

The 51-year-old "Saturday Night Fever" and "This is Spinal Tap" actress joins a field headed by Caroline Kennedy and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. New York Gov. David Paterson will appoint Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's successor if she is confirmed secretary of state in the Obama administration.

She would absolutely be the BEST senator EVAR. Just imagine if her party was against a bill and they put her up to filibuster. 2 hours tops and the bill would be dropped, senators would resign, and anyone in the room would contemplate suicide. What a great weapon she would be.

Well, if that's the case then we should send her to Iran. New US Sec. of State? I say YES!
