Getting back to the OP, is it clear that Carrera is a “liberal who is living in a red state”? She’s written that she moved to Utah intentionally because she likes the values of the area. She may be a conservative who happens to have worked in porn. As for Beck, Coulter, or Limbaugh - none of them could handle this board. They only thrive in a situation where they have control of who gets to talk. After a week or two of finding out they can’t close the thread everytime somebody calls them on their bullshit, they’d run away for more sycophanic forums. ---

For UK politicians, I’d like to see William Hague and Anthony Wedgwood Benn. Both are immensely intelligent and engaging. ---

Jim Beaver and the Amazing Randy. Oh, wait. 🙂 ---

> [@tr0psn4j](#): > > You botched the “wait for it.” Shouldn’t it be in between “legend” and “dary?” Yeah, I guess I did, but I waited to long to go back and correct myself. I figured someone would come along and fix it…see, I was right! Christopher Hitchens would be a worthy opponent in GD, and at the same time provide ample fodder in The Pit. ---

Any celebrity who’d like to be ineligible as a **Death Pool** pick. 😛 Actually, I remember remarking in an earlier thread that [Ellen Muth](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Muth) (actress on _Dead Like Me_ and Mensa member) sounded like a good candidate for **SDMB** membership. [Olivia Munn](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Munn) would also connect one way or another with a lot of Dopers, as she’s a [G4](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4_(TV_channel)) personality, Comic-Con attendee, former sports sideline reporter, one-time resident of Japan, aspiring author, and recent _Playboy_ cover girl. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > I’ll second that nomination. I’m one of the few that enjoyed his stint on Monday Night Football. Smart, well-read guy with a wicked sense of humor. I’ll third that. And I’m another who liked his contributions to Monday Night Football. Barack Obama as a Doper would be interesting… “Sir, your television address to the nation starts in two minutes. Shouldn’t you be getting ready?” “Hang on–I’m just posting an answer to the ‘What to See in Chicago?’ thread…” ---

**Weird Al** , who is rumored to have admitted to lurking here. My SDMB dream is to be the poster whose post is the one immediately above the one that reads: > [@Snarky Vegan Popstar](#): > > OK, what the hell. I’ll admit it: I’m Weird Al. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > For UK politicians, I’d like to see William Hague and Anthony Wedgwood Benn. Both are immensely intelligent and engaging. Agreed, but I can’t see either of them spending their time here. They’re way out of our league. Bill Maher would fit in nicely, although I’d give him two weeks tops before he got banned (either for promoting pot or for getting abusive in a GD anti-vax thread). ---

Alice Cooper, Dennis Leary, Mia Michaels. ---

Neal Stephenson. We could have an “Ask the guy who doesn’t know how to end a novel” thread. 😉 ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > Adam Savage of Mythbusters would be excellent, as would Grant Imahara. Jamie would be a terrific addition to General Questions. My first thought was Stephen Hawking. And more scientists in general: I think it’s very cool that I can read a **Colibri** post about evolution. Stephen Jay Gould would have been a great Doper, for example. Of course maybe we already have some people like that here and I just don’t understand what they are posting about. 😛 ---

Tom Cruise. 1. He could start an “ask someone who’s slept with Nicole Kidman” thread. 2. He has been know to make definitive statements that are totally wrong. ---
