Blagojevich for HHS!

[Occam Bandage]

Pros
1. Fully vetted.
2. Adept at asset valuation.
3. Would be fucking golden.
4. Clearly an expert on mental-health issues.
5. Willingness to play ball.
6. Possesses "testicular virility."
7. Expert on hospital funding issues.

Cons
1. Rod is a Cubs fan, and Barack is a Sox fan. There could be tension there.
2. Big Conditioner links might undo Universal Hair Care proposals.
3. Ethical problems. After all, we don't want too many Illinoisans in the White House.

1. You are on a roll, I see.

[Radical Activist]

2. He can help Obama raise campaign funds.

He's good at shaking down hospitals.

[Occam Bandage]

3. Good point! His knowledge of hospital finance is second to none!

5. Hard Hair Secretary?

[camera obscura]

6. I hear he is very dedicated to breast exams and pap smears! He certainly mentioned them enough

[Occam Bandage]

7. Not to mention how he was tragically impeached for trying to get cheaper prescription drugs.

8. sorry I do not want Elvis as our HHS Director!!!!

9. Aside from the corrupt & crazy angle he'd be good at it.

The man is not without talent and determination, and being governor of such a large state is excellent experience for the post.

10. The longer I spent thinking of jokes, actually, the more I thought,

"you know, actually most of his crazy-ass skills would probably serve him well in such a post, if he could be convinced that a quality health-care reform program would be in his personal political interest."

Of course, then again, he was absolutely awful at negotiating successfully with the IL legislature; I doubt he'd be much better on the big stage.

11. He's got one big problem

He's not a Republican. If he were, he'd already be on his way to Washington.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Good one.

[Robeson]

13. Another "Pros": He'll give us a daily recital from a great British writer...

...and educate us with parables in Western movies.

[Frank Booth]

14. This thread is a fucking valuable thing.

Blago should just parachute himself in there.

BTW, why are you advertising that you're a spy?

[Occam Bandage]

15. I told you not to tell anyone!

[Frank Booth]
