No, it’s not, for several reasons
1)HE’S NOT IN CONGRESS. Think the Speaker doesn’t need to be a member? Think again, OF COURSE he or she does. It’s implicit. This is really the most bizarre political idea ever aside from letting state legislatures go back to choosing Senators. The House is never gonna consider it anyway. The Speaker WILL be someone who’s currently a remember of Congress. Believe that.
2)He’s yesterday’s news
3)Didn’t he endorse Obama or something?
When is someone gonna suggest Daffy Duck for Speaker? Everyone else is being mentioned.
How about Mickey Rooney? Oh, he died? So? If we can suggest non-members why not dead people?

A Republican in King Obama’s court; J.C. Watts celebrates too
JANUARY 20, 2009 | 3:58 AM
The Times’ Michelle Maltais caught up with a real, live Republican on Monday night at the celebration of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration today in Washington.
J.C. Watts, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma, tells Michelle candidly that on Nov. 4 “the earth moved” with the election of Obama.
The future is hard to predict, he says, but the onetime college football star is hopeful that the past Washington tone of each political party being dedicated to the political destruction of the other will have an opportunity to change.
And he thinks Obama has the temperament to accomplish that. Check out Watts’ thoughts below in his own words.
