Rudy as Attorney General. That's HILARIOUS!!!

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Well I can hit some of these now.....


Vice President: Rep. Harold Ford (D-TN)

- He's the head of the Blue Dog contingent in the House, he's young and popular on both sides. He'd disagree with me on policy, but that's why I'd have him be my VP hood ornament. He'd secure me some southern votes, too.

Department of Commerce: Ralph Nader
Department of Defense: John McCain
Department of Agriculture: Jim Hightower
Department of Justice: Eliot Spitzer
Department of Labor: Dick Gephardt
Department of State: Carol Moseley-Braun
Department of Veteran Affairs: Max Cleland
EPA: Jason West (G- NY)
Office of Management and Budget: Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX)


Office of National Drug Control Policy: Gary Johnson (R- NM)

- http://www.motherjones.com/news/spec...nvestment.html

Here is why Johnson would be perfect for this. He's a Republican who is true to the original values of his party. He's tough on drug dealers and sympathetic towards drug addicts. He recognizes that this is a social problem, not a criminal one.

U.S. Trade Rep.: Joseph Stiglitz
Chief of Staff: Dan Johnson-Weinberger

Sub-cabinet:

Natl. Security Advisor: Ret. Gen. Wesley Clarke
Press Secretary: Aaron McGruder

- Yes, the guy who does the Boondocks comic strip. I've seen him speak a few times. He is intelligent, a good speaker when it comes to Q&A reaction, and has charisma. He'd be a great mouthpiece for an administration.
CIA Director: Scott Ritter
Senior Advisor: Joe Trippi

[Miss Modular]

Vice President: George Clinton
Department of Agriculture: Dave Chappelle
Department of Commerce: Ralph Nader
Department of Defense: James Brown

[AChimp]

Just the Department of Labour? I think Levar could run the entire country.

[Sam]

becauseiusedthemostobviousjokeandIappolog izeinadvance

[glowbelly]

[MEATMAN]

Vice President: Mr. Mockery

And please forgive my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HUD stands for?

[Anonymous]

Heads-Up Display.

[Phil the anorak]

I'll make no apologies for being a bit cynical here and I'd also add that a few names will be associated with the band Marillion
Vice President: Me, I can't be president as I'm not american so the president will be Ian Mosley who has or had US citizenship I think.
Department of Agriculture: Farmer Giles
Department of Commerce: Lucy Jordache, (Marillion manager)
Department of Defense: Reverend Jesse Jackson
Department of Education: Miss Ballbreaker from Porkies
Department of Energy: Superman, he has lots of it

Department of HUD: Paul Newman??? What's HUD?
Department of the Interior: Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen (interior designer from the UK)
Department of Justice: Judge Jim Garrison
Department of Labor: Madonna
Department of State: Phileas Fogg
Department of Transportation: Burt Reynolds, (in Smokey and the bandit role)
Department of the Treasury: Wile Y Coyote. I just admire how he affords all those devices to catch the roadrunner without seeming to do any work to pay for them.
Department of Veteran Affairs: Errol Flynn
EPA: ???
Office of Management and Budget: Erik Nielsen, (the commerce king of Marilion)
Office of National Drug Control Policy: Pablo Escobar
U.S. Trade Rep.: Eddie Murphy, he could talk anyone into anything.
Chief of Staff: Barbara Tripp

Sub-cabinet:

Natl. Security Advisor: Oliver North
Press Secretary: Monica Lewinsky
CIA Director: Jack Ryan
FBI Director: Robert de Niro, (should be good for sorting out the mafia)
Senior Advisor: Richard Nixon
Federal Reserve Board:

[The One and Only...]

Who in their right mind would appoint Nadar to the CoC?

[Zhukov]

Isn't Nixon dead?

It's always about the penis with you, isn't it???

Edit: But to provide you with a serious answer, the Department of Commerce and Labor was created to monitor the inter-state activities between corporations. It was only later that this role expanded as a department bent on stimulating economic growth in various sectors.

Despite living a fairly humble life, no car, maybe 3 suits to his name, and a little DC apartment, Nader is in fact a millionare in stock value. He's a shrewd investor, a responsible investor, and understands market trends well enough to make millions in investments.

Secondly, you'd be hard pressed to find a man who knows more about the behavior of corporations and corporate law (this was, after all, his initial trade in life). The man has dedicated his life to consumer protection, to expanding the buying power of the average American. He is truly the most civic-minded person I know of.
