How he would fare running a major government department is an open question. One thing's for certain: he's no Tim Cahill, thank God.dmrosen9https://www.blogger.com/profile/14831656640833050993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322675396286681037.post-75312342522327395922010-06-10T13:54:17.414-07:002010-06-10T13:54:17.414-07:00It's an interesting idea, but clearly not an o...It's an interesting idea, but clearly not an option in the near future.
