Louise Mensch seeks US citizenship

[oldironside]

The former Conservative MP Louise Mensch has said she will be applying to be a US citizen and has not ruled out a move into American politics.

After quitting her Corby seat last summer to move across the Atlantic to be closer to her American husband, music manager Peter Mensch, the former fiction author (nee Bagshaw) revealed in a Sunday Times interview with one of American's most celebrated immigrants-turned-politicians, Arnold Schwarzenegger, that she had decided to apply for full citizenship.

I honestly don't know which of the 500 sarcastic comments that flashed through my mind to use, so I'll just say, Haven't Americans suffered enough recently?

1. Well, with Michelle Bachman standing down, I guess there's a niche to be filled ...

2. Dear Americans

We sincerely apologize for inflicting Andrew Wakefield and now Louise Mensch on you, not to mention Tony Blair on a more part-time basis.

Please do not retaliate by sending us Joseph Mercola and Michele Bachmann.

3. You forgot to mention...

... Piers Morgan.

4. So she says she has to wait 5 years to become a citizen?

I guess if she is serious about US citizenship, she could at least go to the trouble and get the instructions for filing the N400 form. If she's married to a US citizen, is in the USA for 3 years, married to that same citizen as a Permanent Resident that entire time, she is eligible to apply.
