Let's think through this scenario:
1. John McCain appoints Ron Paul to be Secretary of the Treasury.
2. Ron Paul tells McCain that the only hope for our economy is to bring ALL the troops home, slash military spending, and quit trying to police the world.
3. Upon hearing this statement, John McCain clutches his heart and croaks.
4. Sarah Palin immediately and unexpectedly becomes the new POTUS.
5. Ron Paul repeats his statement to Sarah Palin.
6. Sarah Palin pauses...thinks...stares...thinks some more...and then fires Ron Paul and replaces him with Chuck Norris because, in her words, "he has a cute butt and knows a lot of cool Judo stuff".
