I WAS A SHOE SALESMAN. NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT. ONE DAY, MY WIFE SAYS TO ME, "WHY DON'T YOU TRY RUNNING FOR OFFICE? YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME ... WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO DO IT?" Our friend Carrie Rickey wants to know about your favorite on-screen fictional vice presidents. (Also: John Hoynes or Bingo Bob Russell?)
