“I’m starting to get upset,” said Melissa George, the pretty blonde with the pouty lips and cat-like eyes who plays Laura on the HBO series In Treatment. “I want Hillary to get it.”

Ms. George was standing around with her husband, Claudio Dabed, looking healthy and politically-minded in a floral minidress at a cocktail party at the Hermes store in the Financial district that was cross-marketing the new $2.3 million Bugatti Veyron automobile. (The vaunted leather-goods and fashion house did the interiors.)

Ms. George’s Australian accent gives her origins away, but she feels strongly enough about American politics that she became a citizen last year, she said, so that she could vote in this presidential election.
(She’s looking for a place right now incidentally?”downtown in Chelsea or Tribeca”?so, you know, if you hear of anything …)

“If Hillary runs it, you get Bill Clinton too, which is the best president we’ve ever had,” she said, echoing one of the best messages of the Clinton campaign that seldom gets said out loud. “Then if Obama becomes vice president, he can get the experience through Hillary, and in eight years time, he can become president. That’s the way it should be.” Source.
