McCain Wants Ballmer For His Cabinet

While many people jumped all over presidential hopeful John McCain's wrong-headed view on network neutrality, few noticed his infuriating love for Microsoft. "[T]he 70 year old presidential hopeful also said that he would ask Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to serve on his cabinet to deal with technology issues if elected. He did not however say what position Ballmer might be hired in, but did joke that he might consider him for a diplomatic position, such as ambassador to China."

But the comedy almost writes itself.

Imagine Ballmer jumping around and screaming at cabinet meetings.

No wonder Dick Cheney kept Ballmer out of the current Administration. A shotgun weilding Vice President versus a chair throwing Ambassador would make for an interesting Sunday morning talk show routine.

Ballmer was overheard saying...

"Fucking Hu Jintau is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill China."

and needs the kind of business ethics class that comes with steel bars on the door.

Ballmer needs to be in a Zoo? But won't he scare the (other) monkeys?

"Increasing the number of Western occupying soldiers to 400,000, .... will transform Iraq into a prosperous, liberal Western nation.

Wow, it only takes 400,000 soldiers to move Iraq West? How many dump trucks does it take?

I think you could get it done faster with a series of tubes.
