Let's say you saved the world from blowing up, and were thus granted the freedom to slap ONE person

[Bicoastal]

directly in the face, as hard as you wanted, without fear of consequences. Male, female, old, young, rich, poor, famous, unknown--the choice is yours. (After all, you saved the world from blowing up.)

Who would you wallop? Me, I'd sock it to Karl Rove--I can't think of anyone more deserving.
