Maybe Barney Frank as Secretary of the Posterior?
And let's not forget who'll be White House Press Secretary.
You just knew that was comin', didn't ya!

She swilled vodka and visited strip joints to break the glass ceiling, but can businesswoman Carly Fiorina tough it out in politics, asks Nick Mathiason. Poised, smart and ready to serve, Carly Fiorina - at one time the most powerful female executive on the planet - scents power. There's still a chance that the most intense, volatile and bitter presidential election campaign in living memory could spring a stunning final twist, delivering the Republicans to victory. If John McCain triumphs, Fiorina will follow in his slipstream. As a close friend and economic adviser to the Republican candidate, it is a sure bet that the first and only woman to run a Fortune top 20 company will be catapulted into office. 'We'll see,' the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard said last Friday at her Washington home. 'We never expect anything.' With Fiorina, though, expectations are generally pretty high. The daughter of a law school professor from Austin, Texas, she is a fiercely ambitious corporate ball breaker.

Should McCain announce his Cabinet ASAP? The transition period should be swift for the good of the country; and if some consider it an act of arrogance, so what?
Because of our global financial crisis, wouldn't it make sense to know now whom he would pick as Treasury Secretary and perhaps Chief of Staff?
Intelligence officials have said, "the 77 days between the Nov. 4 election and the Jan. 20 inauguration is a time when terrorists might try to attack the U.S. or American interests abroad."
McCain "hit the ball right out of the park" when he chose Alaska's most popular governor, Sarah Palin, as his VP. One blogger, I amused over, when describing McCain's VP announcement: "Not since the Baudelaire orphans encountered Count Olaf has the liberal press been so disarmed!"
How We LIKE " the media disarmed!"
After all, Obama would be pushed to follow suit. With Obama's choice of long time radical chums, on record, who despise America; I would hope every American would WANT TO KNOW those Obama has chosen for the partisan distribution of the spoils of his office.
Don't we need to know from both sides:
What we get?
The sooner this woman disappears from the public stage, the better.
Let’s hope she gives up politics, permanently.
Perhaps she can find another company to ruin.
you’re entitled to your opinion, but bear in mind that if Obama wins, we’ll have Secretary of State John Kerry reporting for duty, and worse.
Maybe Barney Frank as Secretary of the Posterior?
Just to say, we could be seeing worse than Fiorina...
McCain has a flair for the dramatic, and appointing people now would have the air sucked out of the room by the upcoming Powell endorsement of Obama...
There are only 2 Sundays left, Powell is going this weekend.
Huh? That's relates to my post about as much as the price of dill weed in Arkansas.
Well,that wouldn’t surprise me.I am no fan of General Powell.
I live in the Silicon Valley, and the HP employees I know have said bad things about her.
And let's not forget who'll be White House Press Secretary.
You just knew that was comin', didn't ya!
There are many things I could call McCain, but "woman" is not one of them. ;-)
That having been said, Fiorina, being the moderate she is, needs to be the farthest away from any position of power in the GOP.
Fiorina is not only moderate, she's INCOMPETENT. The fact that she was even considered a candidate for Treasury or VP (or California Governor) is downright Scary! Get her off the stage--NOW!
I liked him, would have voted for him in 96, but earlier in the year he said Obamao would make a fine CINC, and he acted the fool at Africa Rising, and AFAIK, he was pretty upset at his role in the WMD/UN launch of the Iraq War.

I dislike all my ex bosses too.
I found that to be a common practice,hating the boss.)
She didn’t do very well at Lucent or HP. I would think Sen. McCain would pick someone better qualified.
I don’t know what she did to HP but I worked at Lucent. Lucent no longer exists so that should tell McCain something.
Shareholders said similar. She nearly ruined HP, in her attempt to "be like the boys" and play the acquisition/merger game.
By the way, if you want to read how Meg Whitman sat idly by and let eBay get its clock cleaned by Amazon, this article is a good one. It's a NYTimes article, but it's a non-political business article, and is quite accurate.
