After voters sent a former "Saturday Night Live" star (Sen. Al Franken), a hit recording artist (former Rep. Sonny Bono) and an astronaut (former Sen. John Glenn) to Congress, a former Miss America Pageant winner wants to try her hand at lawmaking.

It seems like everyone running for Congress attended Harvard Law School.
I hear they even have American Indians on the faculty there!

This one, unlike the fraud president from Harvard Law School, is actually a licensed attorney.

I could probably be a better judge of her abilities if there was a photo of her taken during the swimsuit portion of the pageant.

I thought anyone running for Congress was required to have attended Harvard Law School.
