No, just thinking... Been super sick and was trying to think of people who would honestly do a good job in an Administration.

I could stop at your VP...

Here's what she said about George Will after he wrote a column about her alleged corruption...

The only logical reason I can think of you having Braun as your VP is because Farrakhan said "no"...

While you might not like the Ambassador, she would be fantastic at doing all of the behind the scenes vice presidential things that need to be done. And hey, she didn't shoot her friend in the face so she's already got something up on the status quo.

We have a few in the same places. I pondered Dershowitz, but went with Olsen... Tough call between the two in my mind.

__________________

Yup..it is a tough call between the two and yes,we do agree on some of the choices. I was kidding a "little" with Coulter and Maher but I do appreciate them and what the heck,it's my administration,I'm going to keep them..

Yeah, Behar and Garofalo were jokes to an extent, but I'll keep em. LOL Behar because she can tell you to go to Hell and make you look forward to the trip, and Garofalo because despite her overbearing partisanship, she has her eyes on the prize and is great at focusing a message.

Experience was important in my decision making. That's why I picked Richardson, Gardner, Clark, Tribe, Gore, Stenholm, Bloomberg, Dean, Bingaman, McCain, and Tenet.

But you and I seem to have agreed on a few. Lets see if any find our logic in those selections flawed. (Gore, Stenholm, Bloomberg, Cosby, McCain, and Iacocca)

Experience was important in my decision making as well except for Coulter and Maher. Even then..appointing these two exceptional people would do wonders for the press room ..

I'm sure they will find flaws in our choices as we would in theirs.If this were not a fantasy administration,we would have to be much more careful in our selection. I would not change many of my choices,then again,I would never run for President. To quote my hero..William T. Sherman..."If nominated, I will not accept; if drafted, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve"
