No, no no – it’s “Priscilla Lord Faris”.  But with a name like that, who could resist?

She’s the daughter of Miles Lord, the Minnesota judge who was to the law what Mitch Snyder was to rational social policy.

Oh, yeah – and she’s mounting a primary challenge against Al Franken.

Though relatively unknown, Lord Faris could prove to be a test for Franken because she does have natural constituencies. She’s a clear anti-war choice. She’s a former grade school teacher in Golden Valley and Minneapolis. She is a founder of the law firm Faris & Faris, which she says gives her great insight into many of the vexing problems of our times.

Yeah – in the way that being a rat gives you “great insight” into world hunger. 

And she is the daughter of Miles Lord, the former Minnesota attorney general and legendary federal court judge.

“I can’t keep him down,” said Lord Faris of her 88-year-old father. “He’s sent me 12 emails already today.”

“You’ll be getting two senators for the price of one…”

Lord Faris is 66 years old, “which is young, when you compare me to John McCain.”

Enh.

Still – getting Jesse Ventura to run is a little less important now.
