“And for your third wish: ABRACADABRA! Congratulations, Madame Secretary!”
“MADAM?! You turned me into a woman!”
“A woman who runs the U.S. Department of Commerce; The job you wished for.”
“But I'm female! And what's this sash I'm wearing?”'
“You're now Dakota Wildhack, Miss Atlantic City 1997. Your boss expects you to wear that.”
“Ridiculous! I have a Phd in Economics!”
“Not anymore, you don't. But you're blonde, buxom, photogenic; with fantastic legs! Exactly the qualifications he prizes.”
“B-But this wasn't what I wanted!”
“Don't worry then... You're getting fired next week.”

Can't please everybody
Sorry you didn't like it.
Thank you for the comment.
It's this type of insightful constructive criticism
that really helps a writer improve her craft.

I'm Sure
Montana will have great fun for the next week before she gets fired. She will do to Commerce what was done to the USPO and DoE.
Public service
hmmmm.... wasn't there a position....Acceptor General?
Love, Andrea Lena
I'm confused
was she the woman who runs the U.S. Department of Commerce, or not?
Briefly, Dot
...Before she was ejected via the same violently spinning revolving door as many appointees to important Government positions in those years who had failed to sufficiently kowtow to and humor that most mercurial Appointer; leaving her female and no longer in the job she'd wished for. Her genie (or whatever it was) was one of the more underhanded and malicious magical wish-granters.

PhD in Economics
So once she changed into Miss Beautiful Bimbo, did her knowledge of economics improve?

I can't say for sure
I assume the only thing that changed was the loss of credentials (and of a tenured Ivy League professorship) that came with her change in identity. But I'll bet she learned a lot about Swamp ecology in the following week.

Swamp Ecosystem
I'd expect that this is one type of swamp ecosystem that one wants to destroy.

From Secretary (of) to Secretary?
;)
Oh heck...
She's suffered enough reversals. Let's let Dakota find her way to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the fast-growing ornamental wingnut industry.
