Homeland Security Hollywood Advisor

Bobbie Faye Ferguson, a former NASA spokeswoman who appeared in the TV shows "Designing Women" and "The Dukes of Hazzard," was hired by the department in October to review script proposals and help Hollywood moviemakers portray homeland security operations on the silver screen.

Thankfully, the House rejected her annual salary of at least $100,000 and will spend the money on state and local first responders instead.
