I was hoping for Barack Obama being Secretary of State - he has a multicultural, multinational background, is savvy about foreign affairs, and is extremely well liked around the world.

I just read a short synopsis of his career, and I don't know how President Biden could have done better.

Can you imagine Bumbeo trying this?

"What's the UN building?"

"It's an ugly commie block I wish we could bomb, Grover!"

"And what are refugees?"

"They're ugly brown people I wish would stay the fuck home - or I'll bomb'em!"

"We at Sesame Street are all different - but in other ways we're a lot the same!"

"Yeah, sounds like riff-raff. Well, we can't all be white."

Blinken has won my vote. If he's good on Sesame Street? He's good for me.

Can you imagine Mike Pompeo doing a segment like this?

Not really.
