Hal Holbrook for Secretary of State

[PBS Poll-435]

He was already an Assistant Secretary of State.

He has also been a judge, a Congressman, a senior partner in a law firm, a Senator, a Sheriff and much, much more.

This could really work.

Hal Holbrook's Amazing Resume

[liberal N proud]

1. I like him as Mark Twain better

He can remind us who screwed things up are with a little Twain humor.

13. Likewise. I've actually got the DVD.

But he did a great job as Albie Duncan.

2. Don't forget Deep Throat...nt

masterpiece.

11. He was in the movie "Girls Nite Out."

Yes, that's how it's spelled. Anyway, he stinks in it along with everyone else in the movie, but generally he's a good actor.

No to Dick though.

18. When Holbrook emerged from the shadows of that Washington parking

garage to push Robert Redford to "follow the money," it was one of the most chilling performances ever registered in the history of film, IMO.

A stunning performance.

Very, very good in many roles, but stunning as "Deep Throat" in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.
