Holy hell, washed up celebrities need to back away. First Arnold Schwarzenegger swaggered onto Californian soil, trampling Gropegate allegations with vague admissions of having “behaved badly sometimes” and somehow brushing aside a 1975 interview in which he discussed being in orgies and smoking weed. Now Fran Drescher, best known for having the most cacophonous laugh to grace television, has stated that she would like to run for the New York Senate seat soon to be vacated by Secretary of State-elect Hillary Clinton.

According to New York Magazine:

Fran Drescher wants to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate. She says she’s qualified. “I’ve just been given the appointment of U.S. diplomat,” she said at a party for Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven at that restaurant on December 3. “My title is public diplomacy and envoy for women’s health issues, and I just got back from a four-country European tour of duty. I believe next I’ll be sent to the Middle East.” Also an anti-cancer activist, Drescher has been considering a run for office. “I’ve been very successful in getting a bill passed in Washington,” she said. “I was thinking I’d take the next four years to lay some groundwork, but I’m throwing my hat in the ring.” What else makes her a good candidate? “I’m an authentic and honest person,” she said. “And I think Capitol Hill needs more of that.”

What bill is Drescher referring to? And why does she believe that playing a tasteless nanny from Queens with a tumor-bursting laugh qualifies her to be a senator? Sometimes being “authentic” isn’t really a great quality for a politician, like if you’re authentically incompetent and horrifying.
