A nice idea, but I think that Martin is rather less funny than the
current POTUS.  Personally, I'd like Ellen DeGeneris or Chris Rock (both
from the "no <bleep> way!" file.)

Actually, Rock did run.  In a movie, of course;  "Head of State".
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325537/>.  I haven't seen it, but Kit is
an extra in a couple of scenes.  She's in a scene in a church and a
scene in a shoe factory.
