Day Four : President Palin appoints ex-Gov. Scott Walker as Secretary of Labor, Bernie Madoff as Secretary of the Treasury (following an executive pardon), and Christine O'Donnell as Secretary of State (which will now be known as Secretary of Geography.)

   

O'Donnell's first official task is to buy a globe so she can figure out "where countries are." Palin helps her with this project, but is unable to find the United States on a map of the United States.

Day Five: Palin is informed by her National Security advisor -- Joe the Plumber -- that there are more than three cabinet departments. Palin decides to eliminate the Department of Education, the Energy Department and the EPA. She merges the Nuclear Regulatory Agency and the National Rifle Association because "they have the same initials so we'll save on stationary."

 

Palin's choice for Secretary of the Interior is a woman named Betty who "really knows a lotta stuff about drapes and can decorate a room to make it look homey." Betty's first assignment is to redesign the Oval Office into a replica of a cozy ski lodge. She replaces George Washington's portrait with a moosehead, because "if you ask me, the guy looks depressed."
