"Estonian Supermodel May Run for Parliament"
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=7&u=/ap/20040412/ap_on_en_ot/people_carmen_kass
The 25-year-old joined the ruling Res Publica party two months ago to get a spot on the pro-business party's ticket. Res Publica — which means "Republican" in Latin — formally put her on its list of 12 candidates at a party meeting Saturday.
The blonde, blue-eye Kass — heralded here as one the best known and richest Estonians in the world — has brushed aside criticism that she's a neophyte with no political experience and not qualified for public office.
Er yeah. I walk mostly naked in other people's labels for money, and get rich doing so. I have no education, no real life experience, and no perspective on reality. Vote me!

Hmmm...kinda makes me wonder what she wants to "give back" as far as what she wants to do to improve things. She might not have a lot of experience or as much education...but perhaps she's got some ideas that might well...be good. Or perhaps this is just a publicity stunt? Ya never know? ;)
