Well? Why not Paris Hilton for President? In Italy, a few years ago, we had a blonde dish running for some job in the Italian government. At that time, her claim to fame was that of a porno queen. She scooted around Rome seated back and up in her chauffer-driven convertible, campaigning for this or that program. Often (to great approval) she made her political points clearer, by popping her breasts out to the winds. She got the job (and don't ask me what the job was, because my sister couldn't remember). My sister also said that she (the porno-blonde) was quite efficient, better than some male counterpart seated next to her in the Italian Parliament, not bad at all. Her name? Cicciolina, as in "Little Fatty Charmer."
