Entertaining Thought

An emailer over at The Corner suggests Zell Miller for UN ambassador, to replace the unconfirmable John Bolton.

I've got a better idea. How about Joe Lieberman?

If he accepted, this would give control of the Senate back to the Republicans, since the governor of Connecticut is a Republican, who would appoint his Senate replacement. It would be a great way for him to get back at his Dem "colleagues" without going back on his promise to remain a Democrat.

And can you imagine the entertainment in the confirmation hearings, as the Democrat Senators tied themselves in knots trying to explain why one of their own, and a Jew, is not fit for the job?

"this would give control of the Senate back to the Republicans"

I doubt Joe would go along for precisely this reason.

But I agree, he would make a great UN ambassador.

Pipedream

Yes, but a GOOD pipedream.

He'd make a good Secretary of Defense.

Another Neo-con who has never fired a shot in anger.
