The people of Finland are big fans of Conan. The Finnish army loves him, too.

How unlike our own President and any of his Cabinet members.

Late-Night talk show host Conan O'Brien, who endorsed the re-election of Finnish President Tarja Halonen with mock ad campaigns because they both have red hair and fair skin, said he expects to be rewarded with a Cabinet position.

After arriving at the airport, the quirky, self-deprecating NBC network host said he will ask Halonen for a Cabinet position when he meets her Tuesday.

"In my country, when someone is instrumental in helping someone get elected it's customary for the president to give that person a Cabinet or ministerial position," O'Brien told reporters in the airport's VIP lounge.

"I'd like to be the inspector of saunas, mostly women's saunas," he said.

Conan O'Brien. A Great American. And Finn.

1. Honorary Finn!

He's in actual fact as Irish as the day is long!

[GrumpyGreg]

2. Yeah,but he's Brookline Irish---a different breed of cat than the

South Boston Irish.

[MADem]

3. Well, not all the South Boston types are cut from the Louise Day Hicks

mold. Unfortunately, the ones that are get the publicity....
