Election 2008

The day after elections is one of the best, as the smut commercials are gone. What a relief as it seems the candidates should all be in jail for all of the rotten things they are reported to do, or for all the rotten things they lie about against each other.

I'm very concerned about 2008, as Bush finally goes away. Maybe his little brother can run. "Jeb Bush - It's my turn" would make a cute button. With Bush out of favor, way out, the Dems should have a cake walk. Maybe they can trott Kerry the Clown back out and make it interesting. Personally, I'm rooting for Hil. Let Bill sleep in the First Lady's suite.

Actually, with the lack of decent leadership, maybe we should look toward actors for president. After all, it did work for Uncle Ronnie. Who would make a good president?

When Kevin Kline was president in Dave, he balanced the budget and started a jobs program. OK. He was very conservative. Better than a budget blowout and a war in Iraq. Imagine Phoebe Cates as the first lady. (with clothes on) So, one of them played a conservative.

When Michael Douglas was president, he went for fuel emmission reductions and gun control, oh, and flag burning. Imagine Katherine Zeta-Jones as the first lady. Would improve the TV ratings. He could get Martin Sheen as his chief of staff and Michael J Fox as his advisor. Hmmm, too liberal? Maybe a conservative running mate would help.

How about a Michael-Kevin ticket? With Phoebe and Katherine. Cool, but... Not dignified enough?

Dignified actors. OK. Morgan Freeman. He's done a couple of presidents and he was very dignified. Maybe with Denzel Washington, like when he was the football coach. Stong and dignified. Be different.

Too bad James Garner is too old. He acted a good president with Jack Lemon. He could run with Jack Elam, but he is gone, too. Maybe Sally Field. They did well together in a movie. And we could still really like her.

William Shatner. He could get Leonard for the VEEP. Be entertaining. Too theatrical?

Hey, Harrison Ford. Should have thought of him first. With Tom Hanks. Yeah, baby. Maybe box office translates into votes. And they are at the top.

If we could relax the out of country birth thing, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sean Connery. Arnold has the same experience as Uncle Ronnie had. And who wouldn't want James Bond watching over us?

Well, I'm out of ideas. Back to Mrs. Bill and Heintz 57.

Cute blog, John... I am kinda on the James Garner bandwagon, here...old or not! And leave Arnie outta this! He's our gov...and ya can't have him for your Prezzie...

Count me in on being glad the smut commercials are gone for a bit...

I find it VERY discouraging that leadership is so by party line... that very, very few members of our Congress are willing to be "thinkers" on their own...that it's all about voting against what the other guy thunk up...

And while Pelosi and Bush are supposedly agreeing on working together, Waxman is drafting his list to start investigations...now there's a good use of tax dollars...

But....everything is cyclical...soon we'll all be mad again at the Dems for ruining the country...

You oughta submit this to the op-ed section of your newspaper; your suggestions make more sense than they should.

Brooke's right--you can't have Arnold, but oh wait...don't we have term limits in California?? You can have him in four years; probably, by that time, we'll wish we'd given him to you earlier.
