1. I'd like this mix
the politics of Edward Kennedy
the creativity of Stephen Colbert
the soul of Jimmy Carter
the natural charm of Meryl Streep
the intelligence of Bill Clinton
and the enduring grace of Rosalyn Carter

3. Intelligence, judgement, self-discipline, courage & leadership
... would be the selection criteria and, unfortunately, the best "model" or example is ficticious,... though still useful as a comparative model. It is Capt. Jean Luc-Picard of the Star Trek series....... Historically, maybe George Washington is the best analog. Nowadays? Whew,... any comparisons sound a stretch, don't they? Candidate-wise, Clark gets an Honorable Mention,... maybe Webb is someone to watch.

--- Sorry,..... inadequate answer.

6. Well, they don't make them like this anymore....
Edited on Sun Feb-18-07 02:48 PM by Skidmore
but

political savvy of LBJ (he didn't always make the best policy but he knew how to jerk short hairs)
integrity and oratory skills of Barbara Jordan
fearlessness, integrity, and compassion of Shirley Chisolm
Molly Ivin's creativity and analytical skills
Paul Wellstone's heart and love of the common man
Ted Kennedy's fierceness
MLK's vision and ability to inspire people to follow him

10. Well...
politically she's Molly Ivins

Creatively she's Joni Mitchell

physically she's- oh, female, takes care of herself, and is nice to look at.

Spiritually she's eclectic and not dogmatic

emotionally she's probably a mess, but one that is easily able to redirect herself

socially she's even keeled and well mannered, but can be a total wild one too when the time is right

I don't know what else

:shrug:

Edited on Sun Feb-18-07 07:48 PM by femmocrat
who is it ? Wes Clark for all-around intelligence, good looks, and leadership skills

politically : Robert F. Kennedy for his humanity and concern for the poor

creatively : Leonardo da Vinci, the archetype of the "Renaissance Man"

other : Painter: Winslow Homer and Georgia O'Keefe
Musician: Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, the Dixie Chicks
Writer: F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Brontes, Willa Cather
Athlete: Michelle Kwan
Great thinker/Educator: John Dewey
Companion Animal: Corgis have almost-human qualities and intelligence.

Sorry I don't have one person who fulfills all categories. No one is perfect, afterall.

Edited on Mon Feb-19-07 04:23 PM by LostinVA
She's smart, funny, sexy, and is my evil soul twin. I'm totally and completely in love with her.

18. It's wonderfully awesome and terrific
Every single day, bi-baby, I mean EVERY single day, I sit here and wonder how the hell I got so damned lucky.

I love the woman with everything I have -- and she feels the same way about me.

Are we lucky or what?

27. this is tough
Politically probably Al Gore, I've always had a huge crush on him.

Creatively, there will never be another E.E. Cummings. Someone like him would be my dream man



He's dead, so any man that has a sensitive side (a real one, not faking it for his own purposes)
