The recent fuss over Pandemic Pelosi's (mis)use of military aircraft as Speaker of the House brings to mind the question of Presidential Succession. Since 9/11, the Speaker of the House has used military aircraft for security reasons to travel from DC to the home district and for other important journeys like visiting the Pope at the Vatican.

Nancy Pelosi, one of the most partisan and pathetic Speakers of the House in the history of the United States is just two heartbeats away from the Presidency, a very scary thought. Perhaps Stephen King can conjure up a book thriller about this possibility.

If something should happen to the President, here is the order of Presidential succession:

Vice President: Joe the Babbler Biden

Speaker of the House: Nancy Pandemic Pelosi

President pro tempore of the Senate: Senator Robert KKK Byrd, 91 years old, from West Virginia

Secretary of State: Queen Hillary Clinton

Secretary of the Treasury: TIm the Tax Man Geithner

Is this the best the country has to offer? No wonder America is in so much trouble. This collection of leaders, with the possible exception of Clinton, could easily be cast as clowns in the local circus.
