I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
...and her fascist regime.
and she can take her favorite horse Tinker Bell to Baghdad for the installation ceremony.
mars bitch!
You guys are FAST!
Well, our trolls might suggest Daschle, saying he only frustrates legislation.
Howzabout jimmy Carter? (Nah, that has as much chance as my 16th choice, Dale Murphy.)
I'll say.
I mean, I'll say that you're FAST.
Start practicing that peculiar wave of hers. Knickers up!
No, no.
We need an Iraqi national, strong enough to hold together the country, dedicated to economic development and a secular state. It should be someone anathema to Al Queda.
Ideally, it should be someone used to dealing with the Bush family. Even better would be someone who has actaully met with Donald Rusmfeld in the past.
You don't suppose the Army has anyone like that tucked away in, say, Qatar?
Nah. Would never work.
I can't see the current queen gracing bottles of Bombay gin in the future. You need somebody who's just hideously unphotogenic.
Joan Rivers comes to mind.
oh wouldn't Jeebus W. Bush like that. too bad little george, you broke it you bought it.
BtW thanks for making sure we (the american public gets to pay for it.
Kudos to Frank for a Dale Murphy reference. Woo hoo! He could bring Rafael Ramirez, Glenn Hubbard, John Horner, and have a grand reunion from when Atlanta was the crappiest team in baseball.
We are not amused.

Dear Tony,
Thanks for being my poodle through these tough times. As a token of my gratitude, I thought I would give you a little gift. It may be a bit rough around the edges (and in the middle), but it has only been invaded once in the last ten years. It's got great fixer-upper potential. Just needs some sweat equity. A few dollars here, a few men there, and in ten or twenty years it could really start to turn the neighborhood around!
Love, George.
P.S. Since this is such a great deal, I'm afraid that our policy is no returns or exchanges accepted. Cheerio!
Larry in NYC---I'm with you. Plus, he's already had his teeth checked out.
Empire? What empire?
Try the Dutch. Their royalty has even more experience at being marginalized. And they ride bicycles to work - a good example for the peasants...
Well, how about Prince Charles who has been looking at Mum's job for a long time but can't have it?
He has been training as a figurehead for years, doesn't need money enough to be corrupt (and comes with his own income). He'd be just fine as a head of government.
Scorpio
Eccentricity
My guess is Colin Powell,he's a figure head that is not looked upon as a favorite in the cabal and yet he has value to the RR in that he has military and diplomatic experience.
Yes I do believ that the answer is Powell,after all he'll become expendable come november even if bush wins.
For the post June 30 situation, we need someone who has experience being a ceremonial figurehead...
Sadly, Bush is locked up til January 20th.
No, no. You have it all wrong. They won't want a woman. I have the perfect solution...
GEORGE W. BUSH
1) It's not an elected position, so he can spend his entire campaign fund on reconstruction.
2) There are virtually no trees, so he doesn't have to worry about deforestation.
3) The schools and educational system are a disaster, so anything he does will be an improvement.
4) No one wants to immigrate into Iraq, so he doesn't have to concern himself with that issue.
5) He'll be surrounded by oil, which will make him very comfortable.
How about a fucking election?
Jude,
Man, I was huge Braves fan back in them days. I was a kid, too, so there ya go. Christ, I remember when you could go to Fulton County Stadium, and if you sat too close to the dugout, they'd give you a glove and put you in the game.
OT: great site

Laura - he'll be surrounded by oil, but as long as he's spending someone else's money, he won't be able to find any.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(Good idea, by the way)
How about Tom Brokaw? He'll be available in December.
I like the idea. After all, Iraq's very existence is the fault of the Brits. And now that it's turned completely to shit, who better to straighten it out than Elizabeth and Tony 'poodle' Blair?
The trouble with hiring these 19th century relics is that whenever they have a new birth,instead of "Is it a boy or girl",they ask "Does it have a hunchback or a hare lip?"
My money is on Dick Cheney; gets him off the ticket for November, puts him in charge of all that oil, he still gets to oversee the contracts to Halliburton, and as a real bonus, we get to watch GW crumple over; without Cheney's hand up his ass to control the puppet, GW won't have any spine intact, and will fall over due to the weight of his Alfred E. Neuman head. Only one major flaw with this plan: Who would run the US if Cheney isn't here to tell GW what to do ?
There is no future, and england's dreaming, damn Ed, you are fast.
vinnie, there is not going to be an f'n election and when there is it will lead to a failed democratic state. see, here is the thing. you can demand democracy from your oppressor with a gun, but you can not force democracy on your subjects with a gun. the majority in iraq believe in a diff. rule of law. sharia? essentially a theocracy, and as i have heard rum head say a million times we cain't be havn' none of that.
sovereignty (a sham) for oil. that's the deal, take it or we will make you take. some democracy.
Charley, my point exactly. These goddamn hypocrites have no intention of allowing democracy because the Iraqis would vote to have us leave.......pronto. Sooooo, no democracy for youse guys.
JOHN Horner? Nah, the reference is surely to Bob.
I wasn't overwhelmingly serious in putting out Dale Murphy as my 16th choice, but there would be considerable advantages.
Murph is a sincere man, and he's engaging. He's down to earth and difficult to discount.
The value of my autographed Dale Murphy ball would increase.
I am not completely ridiculous here, I think we could use someone who people could relate to. Is Ali free?
Vinnie,
well then i'm glad we agree. OT sort of but just wondering how people feel about Wesley Clarke for Kerrys' VP. just watched him on C.Matthews talking about this issue. remember him from CSPAN on the lead up to this insanity called Jeebus W. Bushes great adventure. One smart dude, two smart dudes are better than one smart dude. even a dumb dude is better than little george.
Frank, I'm so sorry.
John didn't feel right when I typed it. But that was quite a long time and many, many bottles of Old No. 7 ago, so I humbly ask for your forgiveness.
didn't the shah have some spawn?
they could do it eh?
The current heir to the Kingdom of Iraq resides in Jordan, IIRC. Better anyday than Reza Pahlavi.
Jude, no offense taken. I'm sure you're the type that still toasts David Cone's tantrum at first base while Murph crossed the plate. And if not, you certainly lived through the Gary Matthews trade, which is at least as good as three purple hearts.
Um, that's been done already. RULE BRITTANIA! Erk! It didn't work the first time.
Yeah, great idea! The Iraqis can kick out the British all over again!
Queen of Iraq? How about Sullivan?
It's been done already at the end of WWI. The Iraqis didn't like it one little bit then either.
Oh good grief. The poodle can go to the pound for all I care. He's another fundie wacko- and worse, he's a closet fundie.
Mickey Kaus => Hack
Makes about as much sense as anything else we've seen on "atrios"'s blog.
Nah, she's a German married to a Greek. Won't wash.
Plus, of course, she's head of the Church of England!
Well, I don't know who should be president of Iraq, but we should let Dick Cheney be in charge of selecting the vice-president. What could go wrong with that?
Where does the the title for this thread come from?
I think Bush really does read the papers. Marmaduke can be pretty funny.
We still have an empire? I thought we were part of the US empire now..oops well thats what Murdoch and co would like....
Send Princess Anne and her irritable dogs.
Bush is a wimp. He hasn't even tried the neocon's 'everyone moves over one' plan.
The plan is, We give Iraq to King Abdullah of Jordan, and he moves to Iraq. (And while we're at it, we give Iran back to the Shah's kid.) We then create a democratic Palestinian government in Jordan, renamed Palestine; and the occupied Palestinians get their asses across that river.
"We still have an empire? I thought we were part of the US empire now"
Not at all; it's the same empire. We moved our capital from London to Washington.

Um--how about Kofi Annan?
