1. It'll be hushed up, so we'll never know about it- therefore no bets!

3. Tough one to keep hush hush though
As well known as he is, 'journalists' would spot him in a split second. So, I dunno. :shrug:

5. Instead of calling in Baker, why doesn't georgie call in
Bill Clinton?? IMHO, Clinton would be an awesome Sec of State. Hell, georgie might even win some points for calling in a Democrat.

6. The only time Bush'll ever call in Clinton
Clinton's head will be on a pizza

7. He'll only call Clinton when he needs to raise $$$dough$$$
Involving Clinton otherwise just isn't going to happen.

8. I know it would never happen, but I was doing some wishful
thinking. Beside the fact that Clinton is a Democrat, bush wouldn't call him in to help because bush only surrounds himself with idiots. I guess he thinks that he won't look as stupid if there are lots of idiots around him. He hasn't yet learned that the way to make himself look good is to surround himself with the best minds in the nation. In the meantime, we are all stuck with the likes of rove, cheney,rice, rummy, etc.

diplomatic bullshit early on is this mess of Iraq. I can't quite remember what it was.

12. Baker's already there...
he was given an office in the West Wing last year, and has been working quietly behind the scenes as an "advisor". At least that's what I hear.
