Create a Cabinet!

[jmowreader]

If you had a choice, who would you like to see in President Obama's Cabinet?

Mine:

Secretary of State: Bill Clinton, due to the respect the rest of the world has for him.

Secretary of Agriculture: Brian Schweitzer. I think it's been a long time since the cabinet department responsible to the nation's farmers was actually run by one.

Secretary of Defense: Norman Schwarzkopf. He was a very popular general (well, among the civilian populace he was; the troops thought he was an asshole), and he's really sharp. He was commander of 24th Infantry Division in the early 1980s. One of his first acts was to decide the next war would be fought in the desert...so he had the troops paint their vehicles tan.

Attorney General: Fitz, How many people can one person throw in jail? We could find out.

Secretary of the Treasury: Ted Forstmann. As the loudest anti-junk-bond voice during the 1980s, he's the guy I want to unfuck the Bush economy.

Secretary of Homeland Security...Sidney Shachnow. He was the last general to command the Berlin Brigade. This is experience he will need for closing DHS.

and a new Cabinet post...

Secretary of Our Brighter Future: Al Gore. Give him a million a year for departmental expenses, tell him to hire a small staff, and leave him the hell alone.
