What might a McCain Cabinet look like

While on yet another blog meander, one writer was enthusing about how good it would be for McCain to start dropping names of persons he'd consider for Cabinet positions. Pondering a moment or two, I thought - why not? This is a game everyone can play.

Take the list below, and fill in your own suggestions for who you think would either do a splendid job, throw a bone to an important constituency, or facilitate Jan. 20, 2009 being a very sad day for Barack Hussein Obama* and his ACORN buddies (you know, the ones that borrow elections SO well).

Proposed slate of McCain-Palin Cabinet Members:

President - John McCain
Vice President – Sarah Palin

Secretary of:

Agriculture - Richard Farmer (Agriculture Commissioner, KY-R)
Commerce – Rudolph Giulani

Defense – David Petraeus

Education – John Thune (Sen. SD-R)

Energy – T. Boone Pickens

Health and Human Services – Troy Benavidez (Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS)

Homeland Security – Colin Powell

Housing and Urban Development - Patrick Sammon (President, LCR)

Interior – Arnold Schwarzenegger

Labor – Ruth Bennett (former Gov. candidate, WA)

State – Bill Richardson

Transportation – Mike Ginn (Mayor-R, Redondo Beach)

Treasury – Bobby Jindal

Veterans Affairs – Greta Cammermeyer

Attorney General – Fred Thompson

Bonus Members
(Under Pres. Bush, these offices have been afforded Cabinet privileges)

Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency – Ron Paul
Director, Office of Management and Budget – Tom McClintock (State Sen, CA-R)
Director, National Drug Control Policy – Joe Arpaio
U.S. Trade Representative - Condoleeza Rice



*Barack Hussein Obama's full name is used here for a variety of reasons. It seems to get the collective panties of the DNC and their fellow travelers all balled up in a capsicum-marinated knot (a worthwhile goal in and of itself) ; so many have made so much of how it's "not nice and not Politically Correct to use the middle name of Barack Hussein Obama (and PC just annoys the crap out of me, bringing out my mischievous side); and if someone is dumb enough to vote against Barack Hussein Obama because they were exposed to his dread middle name - I'm willing to take it in an electoral situation this foul.As for the other? They desperately need their chain yanked - frequently.

Bobby Jindal isn't going anywhere for the next four years. Look for him to be Palin's VP pick in 2012, though.

The senior cabinet position is Secretary of State. Do you really think Colin Powell would come back in an inferior position?

Bobby Jindal pretty obviously turned down the vice-presidency before Palin was chosen, why would he even consider this?
