By all means, we urge any and all reckless speculation on the subject of which "political family" (1) has a lot of clothes, (2) a lot ofdesignerclothes, (3) is terrified of not habla-ing the Inglés, (4) has a shitload of money to make their dirty clothes problem go away, and (5) is old-timey enough to throw around the world "laundress." We'd say Rudy Giuliani and his many pretty gowns, but he doesn't live in D.C.
By the way, we're seriously considering applying for this job. It pays a lot better than blogging, and it can't be any more demeaning.
