This topic has jokingly been kicked around for years, but today at work I was daydreaming during yet another "important meeting" and thought "If JB really was elected President of the US....."
> Who would be his VP?
> What would be his political agenda?
> Where would his "summer White House" be located?
> Would Air Force One be replaced by a seaplane?
> How would he address the problems of our nation?
The list is open for additions.........

> Who would be his VP?
Bono from U2, they've been shot at together.
> What would be his political agenda?
Just like any other politician--Why don't we get drunk and screw. But at least he'd be upfront about it.
> Where would his "summer White House" be located?
Jimmy'd be the first one to have a Navy One, a big ass sailboat where he'd have access to all our nuclear codes....
> Would Air Force One be replaced by a seaplane?
I dunno, Jimmy'd probably upgrade from the Falcon though...
> How would he address the problems of our nation?

OK....I'll take Sec. of Health and Human Services.....I couldn't f*** it up any more than it is already........
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

That would straighten out our educational institutions, actually having a real teacher in charge....

I could be the Secretary of Beverages!
And I know the perfect candidate for the Secretary of the Balcony!
