Dream Government Could Only be Better

Members of my dream cabinet cavort on the White House lawn.

I personally know so many smart, savvy, cool women, it's a wonder none of them are challenging that old gasbag Hillary Clinton for president. Maybe it's because none of them are politicians. And who could blame them; it's such a bad job, nobody in what could be called their "right mind" would want it. The loss of privacy, the constant criticism, the need to get dressed decently every day and leave your house no matter the weather, and lastly, the necessity of attending so many meetings with so many other people make the whole thing a nightmare, at least from where I sit at noon on a Sunday, still in my furry slippers. Maybe I'll go somewhere today, and maybe I won't. Depends.

That means the citizens are stuck with whoever goes for it, and that's a group of odd ducks for sure. Still one can dream, and I dream of the following people running our government. (All of them are comfortable in the limelight, and quite at home being hounded by the press and adored or hated by the public. One of them could be president and the rest could make up the cabinet; surely they would do as good a job as many we have endured so far.)

Tommy Lee Jones
Benjamin Netanyahu
Fred Thompson
Britt Hume
Juan Williams
Condi Rice
Rush Limbaugh
Meryl Streep
Denzel Washington
Mitt Romney
Neil Cavuto
Helen Mirren
Charles Krauthammer

It sure would make for a fun primary season. Just imagine those debates!
