![]() | Ever wonder how great our country would be with the perfect politicians running it? Imagine a president with Abraham Lincoln's integrity, John F. Kennedy's charisma, Richard Nixon's international expertise, Hillary Clinton's compassion, and Tony Robbin's teeth. With today's technology, we can have all that and more. In fact, we can tweak the DNA pool to weed out potential problems such as greed, hatred, and important factors like a submissive personality. In the end, we'll end up with someone or something that is spiritually, intellectually, and genetically perfect.
Take Your Best ShotNow's your chance to create your perfect politician. Simply follow the instructions below to delve into the cyber gene pool. Once you have the perfect head (no Clinton jokes allowed), torso and legs, print the page. Keep one thing in mind: If you try to make your creation TOO perfect, it will have a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting elected. For example, if you remove the greed and quest for power while sprinkling on a generous amount of compassion, you also remove the new creature's desire to ever be a politician in the first place. Good Luck! NOTE: Many more body parts are still on the way. If you don't find the organs you're looking for, check back soon.
