After years kicking around Chicago, you might think President-Elect Barack Obama and Playboy CEO Christie Hefner not only crossed paths, but are likely BFFs. From the gates, he's been a bootstrapper headed for the big leagues. And she was, well, Hef's spawn -- sharp, shrewd, and striking. Beyond her biz chops and looks, Hefette has been cranking the bunny gears for the past 20 years, delivering varying degrees of successes. Now, reports say, she's ankling daddy's mothership and eying a job in the White House.

In an interview with the dangerously gorgeous Erin Burnett (call me!), Hefner said she's considering posts in the Obama Administration. "Like many Americans, I've been struck by the call to service that was the hallmark of the campaign, and I was an early supporter of Senator Obama, now President-Elect Obama, and I believe deeply in what he wants to do for our country," she said. "I'll be looking for ways in which I can serve to be helpful in that regard." Insert joke about "inserting" joke about government porn czar job, here.
