And the nominees are..HILARIOUS!

WARNING! POLITICS AHEAD!

so last week george bush nominated john bolton to the position of united nations ambassador. this is the man who called the UN a "bunch of fucking pussies" (maybe i paraphrased a bit, but that was the gist of it), and today bush nominated paul wolfowitz, an architect of the iraq invasion, to take over as president of the world bank. these two nominations are so nonsensical, they simply can't be anything but an attempt at comedy, and we all know comedy comes in threes. so who's the next wacky nominee? here are my guesses:

supreme court justice: fred gwynn
fred gwynn is best known as the actor who played herman munster, but he's actually pretty qualified. he played a cop in "car 54 where are you?" for like fifty years, and then he played a judge in "my cousin vinny". this lifetime of imaginary public service would rank him above some real supreme court justices. the only problem is he died in 1994, so it would have to be a reanimated fred gwynn, which is ironic considering he used to play a character based on frankenstein's monster.

ambassador to canada: a map of canada
who better to represent america in canada than a map of canada? that way they'll know how close we are if they ever thinking about getting out of line.

senator of rhode island: pennsylvania governor ed rendell
bush'll pull a fast one on us, nominating a perfectly qualified politician, but it's to a position you can't nominate people to, from a state he's not even from. now that's comedy.
