Trade Bud Selig for George W. Bush

Here's the idea:

The United States government trades:

• President George W. Bush
• Chief Policy Adviser Karl Rove
• Vice President Dick Cheney

to Major League Baseball in exchange for:

• Commissioner Bud Selig
• Yankees owner George Steinbrenner
• Former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda
• $100 million and a player to be named later

Bud Selig becomes President. He expands the United States to Mexico City and Monterey in 2007 and then threatens to contract the nation by two states. Rumor has it they'll be Delaware and Vermont. That, and the City of Toronto is moved to St. Petersburg, Florida.

George Steinbrenner becomes Vice President. He wins the war in Iraq by buying up the best players in the insurgency just so that Al Qaeda can't have them.

Tommy Lasorda becomes Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Under his management, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez hits an economic home run in the bottom of the fourth fiscal quarter to win year one of Globalism Series.

The $100 million goes to help pay down the enormous budget deficit left by the Bush administration.

George W. Bush becomes Commissioner of Baseball. Americans are surprised to find that he's actually somewhat qualified for this job.

Dick Cheney becomes owner of the Yankees. He manages to win a World Series with the best talent in the world, unlike previous ownership.

Karl Rove becomes GM of the Chicago Cubs. He catches fire for leaking to the Chicago Tribune that Mia Hamm is the best baseball player in Nomar Garciaparra's household. In his defense, he claims to have learned the information from the Tribune and not the other way around. Scooter Libby gets indicted.
