Why Can't We Find A Texas Diva To Run For Guv?
A Serious Message May Get a Serious Diva Into Argentine Congress (Monte Reel, Washington Post)
Wearing a hip-hugging leather skirt and nothing above the waist but a strategically coiled artificial snake, Moria Casan shimmied her way to the place she knows best: the spotlight at center stage.
At the Broadway Theater one recent evening, the 56-year-old cabaret star shook through a steamy dance routine and cracked a few equally uninhibited jokes about Argentine politicians. Then Nito Artaza, a co-star in her comic song and dance revue, turned to the crowd and gestured toward Casan." She's going to be among our representatives in Congress?" he asked in mock horror.
"Absolutely," replied Casan, posing dramatically. "There, I will be the diva."
If Casan is elected to Congress on Sunday, as recent polls suggest might happen, Argentine politics will get both a strong shot of sequined glitz and a voluble dose of anti-political rhetoric.
"I don't have a political discourse, and I don't believe politicians," Casan said during a recent interview. "I believe the people need someone who will work for them without so much 'blah blah blah.' "
It's Kinky Friedman, but with boobies!

Be careful what you wish for, Mister Man; Anna Nicole Smith's from Texas, isn't she?
