Gracie: Papi, do you think I can run for political office? Dad: Well, Gracie, you're very young. Dad: Your view of life is simple and narrow... Dad: Your vocabulary is limited... Dad: And you don't understand big, complicated issues. Dad: I say go for it!
Gracie Allen (of Burns and Allen) ran a celebrity/ publicity campaign for President in 1948, against FDR and Adlai Stevenson.
