Would you vote for this man?

jaunthieI could rant about the fact that 9 BILLION in US Dollars went missing in Iraq and the man in charge of them is on the record as saying "I have no idea, I can't tell you whether or not the money went to the right things or didn't - nor do I actually think it is important." I could vent at length today about the utter moral disgrace of the Republican party blocking a debate on the Iraq War and the non-binding resolution(s) yesterday, but I really don't want to raise my blood pressure all over again.
Instead, I'll indulge in wishing I could vote for this man in 2008.
"The Mysterious Congressman has earned a distinctive reputation during his two terms in office, both for his promotion of responsible fiscal policy and civil rights issues, and for such unorthodox tactics as entering the Senate chambers by swinging on the chandeliers, and engaging in flashy, extended fencing matches with sinister congressmen found guilty of financial or professional misconduct. He is currently the only senator who casts votes via flaming arrow.
Yet the rakish lawmaker has proven himself not only daring but remarkably clever, as demonstrated by his talent for blocking Republican legislation with lengthy but seemingly effortless filibusters composed of witty, rhymed couplets."
Sounds a heck of a lot better to me than most of the current crop of likely candidates, even if he is fictional. ;-) And as long as we're talking fiction - if the US government has so much money that it can afford to be careless with 9 billion dollars of our money, I'm more than happy to take charge of another billion or so of it. I can think of many good uses for it.
