The Seussian Presidency...
"I meant what I said and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful, one-hundred percent!"

Well, I wonder how long it will take for our dear Horton to hear a Who.

His entire life is defined by failure and a subsequent game of hop on pop.

His contributors are like a gaggle of Loraxes clear-cutting the society.

His base is like a bunch of Grinches trying to steal Christmas.

And him and his ilk have turned the entire of our political debate into One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

His cronies are like an evil Cat in the Hat, with no intention of cleaning up the place before mom gets home.

So intractible is he in his opinions, that you would think his detractors were trying to feed him green eggs and ham.

If we tried to count how many thinks he can think, we'd not break into the double digits.

And yet his base thinks he's great, since, unlike his predecessor, he doesn't have a Wocket in his pocket.



So to President Marvin K. Mooney, I say, "WILL YOU PLEASE GO NOW!"



And to the late, great Theodore Geisel, A.K.A. Dr. Seuss, I say thank you.

4. Don't forget the Bee watcher-watchers
"The Bee Watcher-Watcher watched the Bee Watcher.
He didn’t watch well. So another Hawtch-Hawtcher
had to come in as a Watch-Watcher-Watcher!
And today all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch
are watching on Watch-Watcher-Watchering-Watch,
Watch-Watching the Watcher who’s watching that bee."

From Dr. Seuss' "Did I Ever Tell you How Lucky You Are?"

2. Oh my god
This is fucking BRILLIANT. The most destructive force in politics is ridicule and this is a terrific example of it.

:woohoo:

5. They are Onceler's without the Thneeds
At least a thneed is a thing that everyone needs.
All Bush does is kill the Truffula trees. (and leaves them to rot, right on the spot).
