Suggestions For Hillary's Cabinet Officers

Queen Hillary's election to the presidency seems a foregone conclusion, Brought about by back-room deals, magical tricks and considerable illusion. I thought I'd offer suggestions for her cabinet officers (as if she cared), To surround herself with top-notch people so that she is fully prepared. Jane Fonda, who loves the military, I'd suggest for Secretary of Defense. Tax evader 'Rev' Al Sharpton, as head of the IRS would make a lot of sense. The Department of Labor needs a person who is considered top-drawer; The only guy who I can think of for that job is super-patriot Michael Moore. The Education Department could be offered to Jesse Jackson, the 'preacher', And from that bully-pulpit expound his inane babble to every teacher. Pelosi for Department of Transportation since she knows her way around. She's adept at using government planes for junkets for which she's renowned. The inventor of the internet, Al Gore, would qualify for Secretary of Interior. He could rant and rave about melting ice, a topic about which he feels superior. How about Barbra Streisand for the important job as Secretary of State. (She'd outshine Hillary from all her antics we've learned about of late.) Former Congressman Anthony Weiner might possibly serve on her staff, But I'll leave his job for Hillary to name -I want no part of that gaffe! There must be something for Bubba Billary to do, her ever-faithful spouse; Ah! I know! He could 'manage' young female interns working at the House! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired

Hello Robert! Found this write more than humorous, down right scarry. Why? You seem to have pick Washington's cream of the crop! She's already picked the wrong VP, in my opinion. The guy doesn't even adhere to his religion's beliefs, how then to anything else? Who knows, the next four years may well prove to be the most disastrous in US history! Thanks for stopping by. Hope all is well with you. / M
