That’s Tom Friedman’s pick, Jonah, based on his corporate slogan? If that’s our standard, then I for one would rather Cheney resign in favor of the AFLAC duck, or the Geico gekko. Or maybe that fat guy who does the Ditech.com commercials. Or, digging back into history, the little guy with the moustache who’s up at 4 in the morning saying, “Gotta make the donuts.” He seems very responsible. UPDATE: Numerous e-mailers have pointed out that, sadly, the actor who played “Time to Make the Donuts” just died. But his character will live on forever. Perhaps as vice president. It’s as likely as Friedman’s scenario of Cheney resigning in favor of Jeff Immelt.
