I approve of the use of the word 'luminaries.' That really says it all.

But Russ! The important question you totally forgot to ask is: Which of the aforementioned luminaries would look best in a swimsuit??! Because isn't that what should decide our vote?

You're right. Obama probably should have gone with Liv Tyler as his running mate.

Or Johnny Depp.

That's very bad news for fans of Dennis Hastert.

Please, people. Doesn't Obama look good enough in a swimsuit alone?

Brilliant post, Russ.
