Gag alert:
Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt is picking up some Republican support--and a new son-in-law.

Construction company co-owner Neil Greenberg, a 35-year-old divorced father of two, is engaged to the Missouri congressman's 25-year-old daughter, Kate Gephardt. She's a pre-school teacher at the Manor Montessori School in Bethesda, where Greenberg's 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter have been students.

"I'm thrilled to be marrying Kate Gephardt," said GOP loyalist Greenberg, who in recent years has written $1,000 checks to the campaigns of Republicans George W. Bush, Connie Morella, Rick Lazio and Robert Ehrlich. "I'm still a Republican, but I believe Dick Gephardt is the best man for the job" of president."

A spokeswoman for thg candidate told us: "The Gephardts are extremely excited and are very, very happy for Kate and Neil."

Kate Gephardt confided that Neil proposed in early May after a whirlwind, two-month romance. "It's a beautiful ring," she told us. "We're planning a wedding next summer. We have no affirmative plans set yet, but it will be a small wedding." She added that they're living together in Bethesda.

"We talk politics a lot," she said. "We're actually very similar. But I'm not very political. He still thinks Bush is a good candidate, it's just now he's in support of my father." She added Greenberg will roll up his sleeves and help her dad raise money.

Good Morning! Great thread y'all! Mr. B's been hogging the 'puter the past couple of days.

Hmmm, if I were Gephardt I'd be mighty suspicious of a republican that suddenly entered the family with a two-month whirlwind romance of his daughter and then a wedding proposal. Especially if I were running for prez.

I mean really, could a Gephardt spawn actually be so alluring that she could turn a pubbie into someone who believes Dick is a better choice than GWB?
