Being sympathetic to political families is one thing. Having Daddy give you a seat in the Senate as a present for being a good girl is a little different.

By the way, I hear that if Hillary decides to run for president, she's going to arrange for Chelsea to represent New York.

The way I look at it.......NY deserves to be represented by Chelsea.

If that's what had happened I would agree, but it appears that "little Lisa" was heading towards the seat anyway, or did you not read the following statement in the article?

Lisa Murkowski, 45, is a Republican state representative who was re-elected last month to a third term and was selected as House Majority leader.

She was elected House Majority leader after only 4 years (!!!) in the state House. What does that say about how her fellow elected Republican representatives think of her? It tells me that she is very efficient, has good command of the political flow, and is very well liked.

This would be funnier if she was old enough to be a senator when (not if -- ha ha!) Hillary! runs for Prez.
