Elena Basescu for the EU parliament!

For an AP article:

Elena Basescu, the youngest daughter of Romania's President Traian Basescu, poses in Bucharest, Romania, in May 2006. Romanians are now riveted, some even revolted, by President Traian Basescu's 28-year-old younger daughter's decision to run for a seat in the European Parliament. Many cry nepotism, say she lacks political experience, stumbles in public speaking.
I say, let Elena win! It will not be the first time in history when a horse (Equus ferus caballus) is introduced into a legislative body. Besides, this specific legislative body can do with some lightening up.

Update: oops, it's about the one on top... OK, let them both go to that parliament, no worries.
