Bryan Gordon: McCain Should Appoint Me Secretary of State

I just want to put my hat in the ring for secretary of state in the McCain administration. I'm married. A family man. Have a daughter. Believe in God. Love baseball, ice cream, and I've been active in my daughter's car pool for over ten years. I love how Mrs. McCain so articulated Sarah's Palin's qualifications by saying that she knows national security because she lives so close to Russia. Good point.



I too know national security having visited Russia twice -- once to St. Petersburg as part of our extremely amorous honeymoon and another time to Moscow where I was writing an article on the World's Best Borsht. I have executive experience having overseen my neighborhood's annual block party for the past sixteen years -- dealing in areas where some of my neighbors have been unruly and uncooperative. On my street, I always have opted for diplomacy, rather than take out my gun and force some of my neighbors to participate. There was one incident and that was years ago -- where I got ahead of myself, and punched out a neighbor who was coming on to my wife. That was stupid. I should have shot his ass.
I welcome the vetting.
