Weekend open thread

Let’s have a little fun with this one.

We have a good group of frequent commenters to this blog, and we’ve gotten to know each other pretty well – well enough, I think, to be able to make suggestions as to who would make a good cabinet member in a future Republican administration. Like who could be Sec. of Defense? Etc etc. I think an adminstration jam packed with some of the comemnters here would totally rock.

I had a lot of fun with this a couple of years ago at a political message board I frequent, and I think we could here as well.

Ok, and the nominees are …… ?

Oh, BTW, you’ve probably already noticed that I’ve added back the ‘recent posts’ section, this time to the left column of the blog, under the ad section. I didn’t get any emails from anyone saying they missed it, but I missed it, so I decided to put it back It’s much easier to be able to quickly scan the recent posts than have to constantly scroll down to find posts you want to come back to, especially if something is rather longish.

Well Sis, I think there are alot to pick from, not that it would be easy for ANYONE to get confirmed but I think Newt would be a great Sec. of State as he is so knowledgeable about the world, ect.

NC Cop as AG would work nicely.

Thank you, thank you very much!!!

I’m thinking Sev would be a great Sec. of State.

Perhaps M.D. as Sec. of Defense.

Also, both of them would head a special investigation into “Global Warming”

Steveeg would make an excellent National Security Advisor.

Of course, S.T. would be President.

Hmm, President Sister Toldjah, I LIKE it!!!

All excellent choices so far!!

Lets’ see..a good Vice President should be completely loyal, both personally and politically, to the President and her program. Therefore, I give you…Vice President Lorica. Although we’d have to remind him that at official functions he has to refer to the chief executive as Madame President, not “Dear”.

And let’s not be too partisan, here. There are some qualified people on the other side of the aisle who could fill some spots. How about Tommy in nyc for drug czar? You can’t argue that he doesn’t have the experience…

ROTFL! tommynyc as drug czar? I nearly spit out my orange juice just now …

Some good suggestions so far, however, I think I’d have to nominate Mwalimu for head of the INS/USCIS, so he could get that department functioning like a REAL INS should be. As pres I would give him full authority to do whatever he needed to overhaul the INS.

I’d create a Dept. of Truth and Sev and GWR would be in charge of the Global Warming Division. I’d instruct them to hold weekly ‘fireside chats’ on debunking global warming myths, to be broadcast nationally. Oh what FUN that would be! LOL …

We all know that the Department of “War” needs to be changed to the “Department of Peace” and so I nominate myself to head up that operation.

Peace be with you! Hey. As long as I don’t have to wear the burka – I can submit to kneeling 5 times a day. What does that hurt right? It’s either pray to Allah in peace or die so I choose peace

ST for Pres.
Sev for Department of Interior & Energy
Drewsmom for White House Press Secretary
Lorica for Vice Pres
Baklava for dessert – I mean Department of Peace – I mean how about Economics Advisor?
NC Cop for Department of Defense
GWR for head of INS

I could head up the ATF, focusing on Garage Drinking.

I just want to run the National Parks Service, so I can set myself up as superintendant of Gateway National Seashore — after I get oil drilling started in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

I guess I missed the deal that we were nominating ourselves, who, by the way would really make the better choice so here I go again.
NC Cop — Sec. of Defense
GWR — INS Enforcement with a punch
Lorica — VP
Sister — the Prez.
Thanks, I’ll take the Press Sec. gig but will be kicked out the next day cuz I ain’t politically correct to say the least
Dana — you will be head of the National Parks and watch out for the polar bears and caraboo’s !!!
Sev — you’d make a good anything boy !!
Well that’s it — we’d do hell of a lot better job here folks, lets ROLL.

I chose you for Press Sec because you don’t beat around the bush

No. You wouldn’t be as effective as Tony Snow, but you’d have us all rolling on the floor and the libs screamin’ in pain…

Gosh, I almost forgot. I would also assign Michael Moore to be our special terrorist envoy. He would immediately be shipped to the mountains of Pakistan to begin “face to face” negotiations with Al Qaeda…..so long as he doesn’t lose his head.

NC: The only problem I see with that idea, is that Omar the tent maker is still on vacation and the burka requirements for that emasculated mountain of flesh are the only thing substantial about 2M’s.

I would love to be VP under My Dear Sweet ST. Also, where in the Constitution does it say that the President can’t be married to the VP. I could be both 1st Male, and VP. Ohhhh HAPPY Day!!! Talk about fun. I would also love to head up the Senate. OMG would I have some fun there. Someone please duct tape Turbin Durbin from head to toe, as he is to stupid to continue wasting our valuable time with his blah blah blah. I like this Cabinet Dear, I mean Madame President. It has alot of strengths, and Drewsmom, if you lose your job as press sec, you come on down to my office, I like your style girl. I will need a good no nonsense advisor. – Lorica

Drewsmom, Baklava’s got a great point there. When you got done with one of your press briefings, none of the mediots could possibly say “Now what did she mean by that?”
Great White Rat says:

June 11, 2007 at 9:26 pm

Oh yeah, one other appointment: forest hunter as Commandant of the Marine Corps and Chairman of the JCS. That would make for many sleepless nights for AQ, Iran, and their terrorist buddies.

O.K., yall have convienced me to accept the nomination and I’ll do my damnest to hold the most understandable friggin press briefings you have ever seen and Helen, your ugly pie hole is being moved to the back row behind a real tall guy, better yet your’re outta her, been here a little too long you old hag.
forest will make a great Commendant of the Marines and Chairman of all things that smack of military.
Baklava, Econmics, yeah, your first act I hope will be doing away with the tax code and putting us on a flat tax or something more understanding and fair. And please, abolish the death tax forever, the feds should not be allowed to get their mitts on anything I have after I’ve gone to meet my maker, just my boy has that right and the feds can kiss by grits, I guess yall all thought I’d say ass, that too. !!!
