SecTreas - I vote Shek as well.
D'OH! Good point. Shek is a lock for SecTreas. Completely spaced on that one.

And I could stand a free bar in the White House.

I would choose Tom Tancredo for President and Barack O Bama as his running mate.

Dale would eat Tom Tancredo alive, with the bones. And then drink Obama's blood quicker than whisky at the free bar in the White House. Obviously, your candidates and our candidate are not in the same class to be compared fairly.

As my future Secretary of State has implied, a Dale Administration will be short on excuses and long on cannibalism. Of course I'm joking, but a little blood never hurt anyone, and according to the ancient folklore we were all raised on, bones can be ground into bread.

I'm thinking that Stan's deputy SecState should be Ted Nugent.

Rocket, it appears you've stumbled into a hidden goldmine of presidential timber. Give dale his due; he named his cabinet before asking for contributions, which is a good thing because no way would I support bluesman for Secretary of Defense; can you imagine a secretary who shows up for work in cammo and fully armed.

LOL, I thought the same thing. Could you imagine Blues ever going to the UN, hell he would have a field day there.

Hmmm - a country run by a Prez who not only is the greatest dork in history but advocates laying out naked in the rain.

Why would I sully my Veep by sending him to the UN? The UN will not factor highly in a Dale Administration.

Speaking on the behalf of an Allied Power, that is a need-to-know and I don't have a need-to-know. I don't even have a want-to-know.

I'm fully with you at that, but, being how Blues feels about the UN.....well, you know, he may want to go try to straighten them out a little....could you imagine?

speaking of presidential choices, last night I posted Broder's column from yesterday's Wash Post reporting on about a chat he had with Thompson; either the piece drew ho hums or folks missed it.

Maybe I am behind the curve, but it seems to me that this is a bit out of the norm. If Thompson plays it his way, we'll have a candidate willing to risk it all on speaking his mind and not shaping his message to satisfy the polls. Anyone willing to take on Soc Security has guts

I don't trust anyone who actually wants to be the prez. The next prez should be drafted from an eligible pool of intellegent people who have better things to do. I am already had it up to here(hand over head) with election polls and political rhetoric. The next president is not the second coming of Christ. The next president will be a career politition with an agenda and will be just as corrupt as the last one.
