I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet the Bush twins. "Why" might you ask? So I could turn them into tree hugging, peace loving, pro-choice, civil rights marching hippy lesbians with alzheimers who can still get anything they want from daddy. At least then whatever they want will be good for the rest of us too :)
