None of us can imagine Teresa baking anything. Several months ago, there was a photo of her on the campaign plane passing out brownies she supposedly made. Unless they were filled with prozac, I doubt it. :)

It's a sad state of affairs when we can say a presidential candidate's wife would put Prozac in her brownies - and only "kind of" be kidding! Speaking of the dysfunctional, from PageSix:

BILL CLINTON let the jokes fly last night as he presided over the Big Apple's hottest party, celebrating the publication of his memoirs, "My Life."

Clinton, along with his senator wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea, were the stars of the Metropolitan Museum of Art gala, with Chelsea's boyfriend, Ian Klaus, also getting plenty of looks.


"By the time I finished working on the book, I was about down to the minimum wage with all the time I put into it," Clinton quipped to the crowd of movers and shakers who came to toast him.


He added, "I hope my publisher gets his money back."


Among the 1,000 guests who showed were: Barbara Walters, Star Jones, Andy Rooney, Don Hewitt, Charlie Rose, Ken Burns, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Judy Collins, Phoebe Snow, Maurice Tempelsman, Toni Morrison, Lauren Bacall, Natalie Portman (slumming it in shorts and high heels!) Sirio Maccione and Jonathan Tisch.


Also there were Clinton's former press secretary George Stepanopoulous, Al Franken, Winona Ryder, Larry King, Paula Zahn, the Rev. Al Sharpton, scribes Walter Mosley, Anna Deavere Smith, Fran Lebowitz, Pete Hamill and Calvin Trillin. Among the others attending were Anna Wintour, John Kerry's sister, Peggy, Mark Green and Bob Torricelli.


Introducing her husband, Hillary called Bill "the former president and future best-selling author, Chelsea's father and my constituent."


"I want to thank the senator," Bill told her, adding, "as one of your constituents, I'd like to see sewer and natural-gas systems expanded in Westchester [where they live]." The ex-prez also revealed that the "worst thing" about being a civilian again was "walking into a room and not having a song played."


Security at the invitation-only bash was tight, but one protester outside was able to wave a sign criticizing the former president for both his infidelity and his failure to capture Osama bin Laden.


The 957-page, $35 book from Alfred A. Knopf — which Clinton bragged he completed without the help of a ghostwriter — hit stores at midnight. It's an instant bestseller, with a first printing of 1.5 million copies and an advance-copy order already past 2 million.


This despite a rash of cold-to-lukewarm reviews, including a blast from The New York Times, which ripped parts of it as "sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull."


The tome includes Clinton's dramatic admission that he had Oval Office sex sessions with intern Monica Lewinsky "because I could," and how Hillary made him sleep on the couch.
