If you had your choice, who would you like to see run for president/vice president? I think Martha Steward and Oprah Winfrey would kick ass. Clean up the country and never know what to expect next with two menopausal women in charge. What other strangely paired couples can you think of? Fictional charactors welcome (since that's what we already have).

MacGyver and Martha Stewart would be perfect. Talk about able to absolutely anything with nothing at all.

Oprah and... Colin Powell. I think. Or maybe we should just throw up our hands and scream "I surrender" and elect Will Smith and Kathie Lee.

I heard Kathie Lee had "another embarrassment" but I fell asleep before I heard what it was. Does anyone know? Does anyone care? I nominate Luke Skywalker and Bilbo Baggins of Hobbit fame.

I predict that Hillary will not divorce Bill, serve her 6 years brilliantly, run for the presidency and win. I think any vice president would be a weird combination with Hillary...

This is totally off post, but did anyone else read that Ben Affleck tried to hug a Secret Service agent and she had to bend his thumb back to get him to let go? I love that story. What a putz.

I think she will too, Jane. Not sure if I agree with everything she's ever done (but heck, what politician is wholey "good" or "flawless" anyway?), but I think she's prolly do an amazing job. Okay, I change my vote: Hil for pres, Oprah for Vice Pres.

It really IS kinda odd that Oprah's name comes up in this catagory. Despite all the hoopla around her show, I actually really like Oprah. She uses her powers for good, not evil. She's extremely intelligent. And, think about it, she's an overweight black woman who was abused as a child... and has become perhaps one of the most influential people in the country, instead of sitting around whinining about how the whole world is against her and she can't POSSIBLY make it.... I just dig her.

I do too, Dwanollah. My mother watches her religiously and fills me in. I sometimes catch her on the tv in the office when one of the writers isn't researching a porno flick.

How about Frank Zappa and Chris Rock?

Gracie Slick and floosie?

Carrot Top and Bill Maher?

Bill Clinton and Linda Lovelace?

I know...Bert and Ernie!!!

If anyone had to run for president, i would personally chose to nominate Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. It may sound childish, but at least there would finally be world peace! Besides, does anyone know how many votes Mickey Mouse gets every year? I know many that have done a "write in" and chose him. So what do y'all think of that?

Roger Caras and Dennis Miller. They'd be the "Compassionate Smartass" ticket.

If I had to vote for a dead guy, Bubba, Frank Zappa would definitely get my vote. He is missed.

Imagine a ticket pairing Frank Zappa when he was alive and Ralph Nader. That would have been fun to watch. (I wouldn't have voted for them, but it would have been worth staying awake for.)

How about Atticus Finch and Mike Hammer? Atticus could be the thinker and Hammer could be the enforcer. That would bring a new excitement to the vice-presidency, huh? :-)

You're a sick puppy, Paul. That's why I like you.

Or Gary Coleman and Mr. T. For the long and short of it.

You guys have it all wrong. Hillary gets elected and because the VP is selected by the Presidential nominees, she selects Billy and they win. The Monica has him whacked and Hillary chooses Chelsea to finish out his term. Stars Bruce Willis and Gweneth Paltrow with Socks playing himself/herself. James
