Please God, I've been so damn good......

I firmly believe in karma---and I must have been Mohatma Freakin' Ghandi in my previous life to deserve this:

If you liked him as Bennifer . . . you'll love him as Benator!

That's the hot new idea being tossed around by Virginia Democrats, who are desperately searching for a big name to challenge the reelection bid of rising GOP star Sen. George Allen next year, now that outgoing Gov. Mark Warner has ducked out.

Why, who should happen to be pondering a move to Thomas Jefferson country but a certain square-jawed media magnet with a taste for liberal politics and millions to spend on it . . . Ben Affleck ! Star of "Gigli" and the J.Lo tab romance, now happily settled with "Alias" star Jennifer Garner .

The couple, expecting their first child, have been shopping for real estate around Charlottesville. British tabloids claim it's a done deal; we will only go so far as to report that they checked out at least one country estate a few weeks ago.

You know, I was wondering what exactly that stretch was doing idling in front of Joe & Rita's split level that they put up on the market last week.

Seriously, if this happens it will be definitive proof of intelligent design in the universe----tossing Senator Gigli into the LLama's backyard.

You got a mighty purty mouth...
