Well, okay -- maybe not Ms. Maddow.
Seems unlikely that she'd take it.
But wouldn't it be great if the President appointed a couple of really inspiring folks to his staff right about now?
How about:
"I'm pleased to announce that Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz will be joining my staff as Special Economics Advisor."
"I'm happy to tell the country that I have nominated Elizabeth Warren to permanently head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."
"I've just learned that Howard Dean will be back at the DNC this year for a special project on renewing the fifty-state strategy and taking back the House in 2012."
A man can dream.
