29. I was thinking Karl Rove...
and pretty much for the same reason. Well, pretty much for the punching the face part. I think a conversation with Hitler would be far more fascinating. Why waste time talk with Rove when you've got the real thing?

41. Jessica Biel
although I don't know how much partying I would do. Probably stand around with my mouth open for the most part.

The dead ones I immediately thought of have been mentioned, HST and Hemingway. Maybe the rat pack, that would probably be fun.
