Build Yr Own Dream Cabinet

[otherlander]

Secretary of Defense: Sibel Edmonds
Why? Because wouldn't it be nice to have someone in that position who actually wanted to tell the truth?

Secretary of Homeland Security: Valerie Plame
Why? The obvious reasons.

Secretary of Education: Doris Lessing
Why? Because she's not a saint, she's "a boulder-pusher... There’s a great black mountain. It’s human stupidity. There are a group of people who push a boulder up the mountain. When they’ve got a few feet up, there’s a war, or the wrong sort of revolution, and the boulder rolls down- not to the bottom, it always manages to end a few inches higher than when it started. So the group of people put their shoulders to the boulder and start pushing again."

Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Camilo Mejia
Why? Because he supports the troops. He wants to tell them "There is a way out. We signed a contract, and we swore to protect the constitution and to fight for freedom and democracy, but that's not what we're doing in Iraq. And if it means jail, or if it means disgrace or shame, then that's what it's going to take.... There is no higher freedom that can be achieved than the freedom we achieve when we follow our conscience, and that's something that we can live by and never regret."

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Mr. Lif
Why? Because the guys in charge now "haven't done shit for us and that's a fact. Their only motive is to keep the funny money where it's at. And that causes pain, stress. Ask me if we need a different way of life? YES!" Plus, he's got "the mind of Mandella and the heart of Rosa Parks".
