Pictures of the McMahon Family hard at work.
From the Kansas City Star:
Watch out, Chris Dodd. After decades of running the business side of World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE CEO Linda McMahon is jumping into a different ring.
"I've decided to enter the race as GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from Connecticut," McMahon said.
News of McMahon's candidacy is sure to draw mixed reviews from people who either love or loathe the royal family of wrestling, particularly McMahon's husband, Vince -- a man known for his on-screen temper.
Depending on how you view the Senate, the highly fictional performances in wrestling are either the furthest thing from public service imaginable -- or just a lower-rent version of partisan politics.
While Mrs. McMahon's wrestling persona may have been characterized by jokes and pretend games, she says she's serious about her candidacy for the U.S. Senate. And given the nation's uncertain economic climate, she says her financial expertise makes her the right woman for the job.
"We've got mounting debt in our country. I'm not a politician, but I am a businesswoman," McMahon told us in an exclusive interview at her Connecticut home. "I've created jobs here in Connecticut and [turned] a 13 person company [into one] over 500."

What Linda doesn't mention is that her position with the company has been mostly honorary - becoming "seriously" involved while hubby Vince was dodging bullets on distribution of steriods charges.
Nothing like a quality family representing a nice New England state, huh?
