In the spirit of the Sanjay Gupta pick

[Chovexani]

I nominate Harvey Birdman for Attorney General.



If he's unavailable, we can always go with Phoenix Wright.



Two of these three guys are cartoon characters belonging to big corporations. I'll let you figure out which ones.

[trotsky]

1. You deserve a K&R just for the Harvey Birdman reference.

But the post itself earned a K&R too. :thumbsup:

[QC]

2. I want Judge Judy on SCOTUS.

Never again will anyone piss down this great nation's leg and tell us it's raining!!1!!1

[Chovexani]

4. Hell let's just fill the whole court with TV judges

Judge Judy for Chief Justice.

And I for one would love to read dissents written by Judge Joe Brown.

[QC]

10. One of Judge Joe Brown's nephews was once a student of mine.

He said the uncle was an intimidating man in real life, too.

[bicentennial_baby]

13. I have an autographed picture of Judge Joe Brown...

:yoiks:

I do! :rofl:

[mikelgb]

[QC]

7. GMTA! n/t

[LostinVA]

54. I actually would LIKE her on there for Family Law cases!

[KittyWampus]

3. what the FUCK are you talking about? Gupta is a neurosurgeon. And well versed in AIDs and a hell of

a lot of other things making high impact on the world's population.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

6. He is actually

a creation of corporate media.

[KittyWampus]

9. Same could be said about Obama, Howard Dean, Al Gore

[KoKo]

44. You are lying out your ass with this one...Give it up...Obama might be Media Pick

but you know that neither Howard Dean, nor Gore were. Give it up! It's long past time.

[K Gardner]

11. Gilligan is correct. As Sfexpat so appropriately pointed out.. "everybody has a specialty" :-)

[EFerrari]

19. Mine was Shakespeare in Egypt. I must be qualified to solve the Arab / Israeli problem.

lol!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

27. Well.....

You could have picked something with more of a niche. I don't know what it would be but there must be something. :shrug: LOL

[EFerrari]

32. "This dotage of our general's overflows the measure."

Now, what mainstream political leader did you not think the same thing about at some point?!

lol

[QueenOfCalifornia]

47. Bwaaaa!Haaaaa!

Very nice... very nice indeed. LOL

[K Gardner]

28. ROFL !!

[pnwmom]

15. He worked in the Clinton administration before going into TV. n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

18. Well that does it then...

he is qualified. :sarcasm:

[pnwmom]

42. This is a P.R. position, not a policy making position.

And he's a neurosurgeon, not a quack.

[Chovexani]

20. Yeah, and that's what bugs me

This neverending revolving door between the media, gov't, and corporations needs to stop already. :(

[pnwmom]

43. So people need to stay locked into one sort of job forever? n/t

[Chovexani]

48. "Conflict of interest"

Please look this term up in the dictionary. I'll wait.

Edit: also look up "corporate shill" while you're at it.

[EFerrari]

21. So did Monica Lewinsky.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. Clenis lives.

Get over it.

[EFerrari]

30. You get over it. I still think it's hilarious.

lol

[KoKo]

46. Gupta is tainted with the stench of "Big Pharma" shilling for Bush's FDA

where for another 8 years folks will die because of the Bush FDA lax Regulation...while we wait for Obama to try to clean it up.

The deaths and the corruption have some part to do with that Gupta Pharma SHILL who got his BIG GIG on CNN lying to American People!

[charlie]

22. I remember when he tried sandbagging Michael Moore

and came off looking like a bought and paid for idiot. Turns out Paul Krugman remembers too:

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/06/the-trouble-with-sanjay-gupta/

[truedelphi]

12. Yes but in his world you better hope like heck

You are working for somebody providing premium beneifts, because Gupta is an enemy to Single Payer Universal Health Care.

The Aids cocktails cost a small fortune even for one month. So with Gupta aboard, all the folks unfortunate enough to end up needing those cocktails will only be helped if they are very rich or very well insured.

[physioex]

24. Doesn't prove anything.....

He is a corportae shill. WTF. It doesn't take anything but common sense to learn about AIDS. What does he know that the average person can't learn?

[Skittles]

33. he's a corporate piece of shit hack

[KoKo]

38. Gupta is also a SHILL for Bush "BIG PHARMA" and caused health problems for millions

PUSHING the DRUGS for Big Pharma. Thousands of young girls will die because of his promotion of a vaccine for cervical cancer before it was properly tested by Bush Regime's corrupt FDA!

He's a Shill promoting unsafe cures for everything.

It's dreadful that Obama would believe in this guy...thinking he's worthy of anything but some "Corporate Paid" spot on CNN to get his glory.

Obama is young...maybe he "BELIEVES" what he sees on TEE VEE like so many these days, as TRUTH!

OMG...Give me a break. I'm hoping Obama is just doing a "trial baloon with this pick" and that he's not serious.

[Jamastiene]

8. Please don't let him pick Dr. Phil for anything.

I'll be good. I promise. Just please don't pick Dr. Phil for anything.

[oldtime dfl_er]

17. Be careful what you wish for

if not Phil, then Dr Laura? :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

23. No, Dr. Laura didn't get her start on Oprah.

Gupta and Phil did.

[wryter2000]

31. Or, Dr. Dean Edell n/t

n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

26. No shit

I LOATH that moran from Texas. He is disgusting. I don't agree with you all the time but on this we are one.... And there can be only one. :)

[Bluebear]

49. .

[EFerrari]

14. Sue Johanson for Health and Human Services!

At least she exists in meat space and she's good on the phone. :)

[Chovexani]

16. Dude, I would seriously be on board with that.

Dr. Sue rocks. :D

[4 t 4]

25. I second your nominations

why not ? what the hell it's all kinda going to hell why not some cartoon folk in the house.

[Sebastian Doyle]

34. Nah, Dr. Ruth was funnier

What ever happened to her anyway?

[Thothmes]

41. She would be unacceptable to some on this forum

she served with the Israeli underground before the creation of the State of Israel and served in the army during the war that broke out right after the creation of the State.

[Sebastian Doyle]

45. Yeah, I do remember reading something about that.

But then, so did Menachem Begin, who was the only Israeli PM who ever made a successful peace deal with anybody. And Rahm Emanuel's dad was in there too, wasn't he?

But I digress.... don't want this thread shipped off to the I/P dungeon.

[Thothmes]

50. I listened to her during a tv inteview talking about her

days in the Israeli fightin forces. She said one of her duties was to carry an M2 .50 cal. machine gun. I suspect she only outweighed the gun by a few pounds. Always enjoyed listening to this fine lady.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

55. I LOVE Sue Johanson

[LostinVA]

56. She's Canadian -- can she be appointed?

[ColbertWatcher]

35. JIM CRAMER FOR TREASURY!!!!!1!!1 n/t

[Elidor]

37. @__@

Shamwow guy to head the FTC.

[LaydeeBug]

40. This is fucking hillaries!11!!!!! nt

[bluethruandthru]

36. This pick is embarassing!

After Rick Warren and Tim Kaine, I'm starting to come down from my Obama high. Probably a good thing. I think I put him on too high a pedestal.

[KoKo]

39. It's not only "embarrassing" it's DREADFUL...Who is Advising Obama?

He seems to be really losing it going "Off Track." Maybe while he was in Hawaii on his well-deserved BREAK...the "Mice were Playing"...while the "Cat was Away?" :eyes: :shrug:

What the HELL IS GOING ON, HERE????

[Romulox]

51. Judge David Young: It's wrong, it's wrong, IT'S WRONG!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

52. Suze Orman for commerce

[LostinVA]

53. AND, Obama would have his GLBT Cabinet member -- it would be a twofer!
