Jeri Ryan was unforgettable as a Star Trek sex-symbol. People have forgotten the sci-fi diva's biggrest role: launching the national political career of the president. Sarah Gellick remembers in an entertaining piece at TakiMag. Ryan's ex-husband Jack's 2004 run for the U.S. Senate was derailed after a court strangely released the five-year-old court records on the custody dispute between the Ryans, which both Jeri and Jack had requested be kept private for their child's sake. Who has time for child welfare when there's a rising political star's career that could use a boost? Instead of a multimillionaire local candidate, Illinois had to settle for Alan Keyes as Obama's opponent. "All this makes me think of other sealed records," Gellick writes. "I think back to John Kerry's divorce records in Massachusetts; Barack Obama's Columbia University records.... Wouldn't you love to read them all? But you never will. Sail on, Jeri Ryan."

You can tell she's a borg because of the thing over her eye.
Why couldn't Hugh get the same treatment?

Seems to me that a number of Obama's opponents in Illinois had issues that forced them out of contending against the One. Jeri. MMMM... assimilation!!!

MIke Ditka. Obama can thank Ditka for not running.

Kind of his modus operandi, ain't it?

She does have nice hoo-hoos. With her 'Resistence is Futile' is a good thing.
