Am I the only one secretly hoping NY picks Michael Moore as their next senator?

[Generic Other]

The thought of Moore charging into the Senate with Al Franken vowing to kick butt and take names warms the cockles of my heart!

I wonder if the governor of New York has considered him?

[onenote]

1. yes.

[hlthe2b]

3. Seriously?

I adore MM, but somehow I don't see Paterson or any other risk-averse pol considering him.... :shrug:

[onenote]

11. I meant, yes, the OP is the only one thinking of MM as a potential senator from NY

15. just trying to stick the idea in your head

a little bee to buzz around! :)

[DesertFlower]

2. wow.

[Generic Other]

6. wow good or bad?

He'd be a fighter for us all! And not some generic kennedy offspring or trust fund baby.

[DesertFlower]

10. wow. good.

i love michael moore.

4. another carpetbagger?

Michael Moore would make a great Michigan senator. However NY's already had enough senators that are not from NY.

9. He's lived in NYC for years!

it's not like he just got off the boat at Ellis Island!

[Kitty Herder]

5. That would be awesome.

But don't hold your breath.

13. Thanks for at least entertaining the notion

When I try and think of people who would actually do a good job representing workers in the Senate, I think of someone like Moore.

[SoCalDem]

7. um..no n/t

[polichick]

8. Does he live in NY? I thought it was MI.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Probably.

[Generic Other]

16. at least I think outside the box!

Michael Moore would get us universal healthcare, protect workers' jobs, and make fun of Republicans all at the same time. What's not to like about that?

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. I can feel the shock waves now.

RW heads exploding - a thing of beauty.

[eleny]

14. The thought never crossed my mind but it's a great image

The two of them "charging into the Senate" is a hoot.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. Actually, I'd prefer Elizabeth Holtzman

She should have been elected 28 years ago but was rooked out of victory by Jacob Javits' independent run.

[Book Lover]

19. Yes, you are

Why is it so difficult for so many DUers to understand that the majority of New Yorkers would like someone born and raised for our senator?! One carpetbagger a decade is enough!

[harun]

20. Probably the only one I would want more than Kennedy (n/t)

[Orsino]

21. He might make a terrible senator...

...and still be better than most of the waste-of-oxygen types in Congress. If he could somehow be appointed, he'd probably never win reelection.

But he could do some good along the way, and perhaps inspire a real politician to take his place.

22. No one can argue that it wouldn't balance out the Southerners and Oklahomans

who are off the deep end to the point of bizarre beliefs andf behaviors.

24. CSPAN would be more fun to watch!

I suppose though, Michael Moore doesn't own a suit! LOL.

[mascarax]

23. Hmm, but then he couldn't be Car Czar!

He was the first person I thought of when I heard about the newest czar position.
