\"\"<\/a>Assuming an Obama win, many conservatives think that an Obama administration may be one of the most destructive to conservative principles since FDR’s halcyon court-packing years. I pose the following challenge to my fellow Gormogons.<\/p>\n

Pick a cabinet position in a hypothetical Obama administration and fill it with the person you believe conservatives would least like to see in that position. Defend your selection as uniquely horrible. You must wait until the other two Gormogons have picked to pick again.<\/p>\n

Since ‘Puter picked the game, ‘Puter gets to go first. ‘Puter selects Secretary of Defense, and to fill the cabinet position, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). As those who have been paying attention may know, Rep. Kucinich ran for president this time around. You didn’t know? Well, neither did most voters.<\/p>\n

Why would Kucinich be a horrible Secretary of Defense? Oh, maybe because Kucinich has introduced legislation to create a cabinet level Department of Peace and Nonviolence<\/a>. Also, Kucinich, like conservative favorite President James E. Carter, claims to have seen UFOs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the downside, Kucinich is a far left peacenik who sees things that don’t exist. On the upside, the First Lady of Defense is smokin’ hot.<\/p>\n

Volgi? GorT? You’re up.<\/p>\n

* The cabinet level positions are<\/a>: Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans’ Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
