Buckhead’s an interesting choice...

Maybe Rush Limbaugh - of course the pay cut would be massive... and having to hang out in congress might not be Rush's cup of tea.

or

Mark Levin

Mark Reed Levin is an American lawyer, author, and the host of American syndicated radio show The Mark Levin Show. Levin worked in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and was a chief of staff for Attorney General Edwin Meese. Wikipedia

Ann Coulter...

My first choice is still Daniel Webster... there's lots of possibilities out there...

He could do his show from there, reporting on every stupid thing that goes on. He wouldn't actually have to stand up there and swing the gavel.

-> I nominate Alan West. And I 2nd my nomination. ; )

he would make a great SOH unfortunately he's too honest and Christian for this administration. They would only allow a lying, conniving POS with dirt that they can control into that role. I met the man and he struck me as an honest man who is "real", down to earth, and does what he says he will do A man with integrity who can't be bought. Also a man too intelligent to throw in with this Congress. In other words, someone that would be a complete nightmare for the current POS president and his administration. They would never allow it.
