Alterman: A Kerry Cabinet

[dennis4868]

I got this from Eric Alterman's Altercation.

Kerry/Edwards or even Edwards/Kerry ticket, here are a few shadow suggestions. I am excluding all senators from the list because I think it would be silly for the Democrats to give up any seats when they are already outnumbered.

Secretary of State: Wesley Clark or Anthony Zinni, if Clark is on the ticket.
Adviser for National Security: Anthony Zinni if he’s not Secretary of State
Secretary of Defense: Max Cleland
Chairman of the Federal Reserve: Joseph Stiglitz
Director of the CIA: Joseph Wilson
Secretary of the Treasury: Laura Tyson
Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers: Paul Krugman
Attorney General: Elliot Spitzer
Secretary of the Interior: Gary Hart
UN Representative: John Lewis
Ambassador to Niger: Paul Wolfowitz
Ambassador to Mars, George W. Bush
Ambassador to Venus, Ralph Nader.
Chairman of the Democratic Party: Howard Dean

3. Yah, the Mars post is far too important

for an idiot like him.

2. That sounds great

but I'm not sure I want to give up Eliot Spitzer. He would be a great governor of the great State of New York.

5. What the hell has Mars ever done to us?

So, we don't have enough war here, we need to go intra-gallatic?

6. Kerry's Cabinet?

Secretary of Defense or Homeland Security or National Security Adviser: Bob Graham (he's retiring from the Senate anyway)

Health & Human Services or Surgeon General - Howard Dean, MD

Secretary of the Interior - Dennis Kucinich

Secretary of Labor - Dick Gephardt

And appoint Joe Lieberman and Al Sharpton as ambassadors (while we're at it, re-appoint Carol Mosley Braun)
