I totally expect another joke GG to be honest. Like Don Cherry or William Shatner or something. I don't see someone like Arthur Kent or Gen. Hillier or anyone like that. 99% of the time, its a joke position. In that 1% of the time, you want someone who will do the best thing with no partisan ties or shady pasts.
