Bridget McCain, and her famous family, were on the cover of last week's
People magazine, one of the most largest circulation magazines in the U.S.
I asked a friend in Bangladesh if there was any excitement there about
Bridget possibly moving into the White House in January 2009. Here's what
he wrote:
>>>
Lots of very silly articles called "Welcome Bridget, to the White
House."
Prothom Alo's magazine just had a cover story on her, featuring the
nun who has raised her until adoption.
The exuberant press is mostly in Bangla. The main English papers
(Daily Star & New Age) are hardline Obama supporters as far as I can tell.
