Actress Bo Derek may be a "10," but state lawmakers Wednesday indefinitely put off a decision on whether to confirm her appointment by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to a state board.

The Senate Rules Committee delayed action on the governor’s appointments of Derek, Keith Brackpool, David J. Israel and Richard A. Rosenberg to the California Horse Racing Board. If confirmed, they would all serve well into the administration of the next governor, who takes office in January.

I worked for her and John in the late 70s early 80’s she was always a class act and very sweet Had a cute little body too

[SueRae]

Figures. Why? From what I know of her, she’s been involved with horses all her life. I’m sure she’d make a fine addition to the board, likely bringing an emphasis on animal safety.

I don’t live in Ca. but would venture to say it’s because she’s a Republican.

Someone changed your tag.

I found a few nice horse pics but got distracted looking at some pics.. she is still a pretty gal.

What?

[DHSMostWanted]

That’s the most likely reason.

Lucky you. Granted I was born in 71.

Speaking of horses:

[G Larry]

Meg will appoint her...

[ncalburt]

very funny

[Robert A Cook PE]

An unfortunate delay - Getting er feet wet (in the political arena) with this commission would be a good start = She has a good brain, and is a long-time conservative.

Not the bimbo-brain-dead hollywierdo’s like Spears and Lohan.

[Kimmers]

This woman knows horses and has compassion for them. I wonder if the powers that be are concerned she may demand accountabliblity in the industry.

Cue “Bolero”.

[al baby]

All I can say to you is Well Duh

[Brilliant]

What’s a governmental board without a celebrity?

[Paratesties]

Can someone please explain to me how this butt-ugly skank made it it Hollywood?

Knee pads?

[Irish Eyes]

Well aren’t you special

[Bratch]

JEEZ, PEOPLE! RULES!!!

The Senate Rules Committee delayed action on the governor’s appointments of Derek, Keith Brackpool, David J. Israel and Richard A. Rosenberg...

Derek is ok in my book. Don't know about Israel or Rosenberg.

But Brackpool is a sleazy operator. Susan Kennedy, Cadiz Land, special water deals...
