Van Cliburn for Secretary of State.
He plays piano even better than Condi. And he was a big hit in Moscow in 1958!

1. Hell, why not.
He does play a mean piano concerto.

4. And like Condi, he is enamored with Russia,
Russian music, history, etc. I bet he can even speak a few words well, just like Condi.

5. How 'bout Tonya Harding?
She's got it all! Has international exposure. Can ice skate to Rachmaninoff (played by Cliburn,if you wish), knee-cap opponents, and box. What more can you ask of an SOS?
