And had Christian won the part, Ryan would not have had the highly publicized divorce which led her husband withdrawing from the Illinois Senate race and to the candidacy of an obscure community organizer ...
In other words, the selection of Ryan over Christian gave us 0bama.
Fates of nations hang on otherwise obscure events ...
Was that (Claudia Christian’s audition for 7 of 9) back when she was heavily drinking? On a “good day” for both, IMO there’s no question that Claudia is the better actress, though that may not have been the #1 criteria... Jeri Ryan, even in everyday attire, is a very beautiful woman!
BTW, an old customer of mine used to hang out with Jeri Ryan when Ryan was a young woman, even skinny dipped with her — who knows, had they hit it off further, perhaps there would not have been a divorce from Jack Ryan, well, not THAT divorce anyway...
However, Jack Ryan was not a great candidate — few IL Republicans are — and was substantially behind Obama even before the divorce controversy arose.
