JUST A WEE BIT!

IT'S JUST A WEE BIT HIPPO-CRITICAL!

Five lil Politicians Swimming in the Pond....
Follow Me, Follow Me
Says the One with the Wand....
I always know what's Best, 
And soon You will See....
What's Good for All the Rest!

"So what if I gave a away a few classified secrets? What's a few classified secrets among friends??! What two people know is no longer a secret anyway, since now everyone knows, so what's all the fuss about?" said front-running candidate Pillary Plimpton as she shook her hair-do in disgust. "We make entirely too much about little mistakes. We all make them, you know!" she concluded.

Senator Straight-man, who is noted for his outspoken opposition to promoting homosexuality, challenged the front runner, saying that excuse would  not "hold water!" 

"Look at Smedley Branning, who is sitting in Leavenworth Military Prison chewing his cud, because he leaked secrets to the press," the exasperated senator pointed out, who never passes up an opportunity to slam Pillary. "Why should you be treated differently?"

The Pillary Campaign was quick criticize Senator Straight-man as a shameless, rabid "homophobe!" The Campaign further pointed out that Pillary is an "insider" that holds the higher moral ground, therefore she is held to a different level of accounting than the average person! Besides, everyone knows that Senator Straight-man was just playing "gutter-politics," as usual!

The senator angrily retorted that Sergeant Cloe Smergdahl is being given a military court martial for dereliction of duty, desertion, collaborating with the enemy and other alleged offenses. Why should Pillary not undergo a similar process in the civilian courts?

And the Pillary Campaign noted that she had been grilled mercilessly by the finest minds at the FBI  (Federal Bureau of Incompetence!) and they rightfully concluded that no crime had taken place. After all, mistakes are not crimes, Pillary pointed out. The FBI agrees, she said. Besides, Pillary further pointed out, "I have to run, you know, because if I do not run, who will save us from that terrible racist Donald Dump?! He is a beast who is the least qualified person to run and 'I am the Greatest,'" she concluded, borrowing a line made famous by world-class boxer Muhammad "Christian" Bali!

Senator Straight-man ruefully noted that as President, "Pillary Plimpton might make a lot more mistakes!" We cannot afford her as a leader in Washington, he maintained. "It is too important a job for an error-prone woman!"  While that drew predictable charges of sexism from the Pillary Campaign, nothing of substance was alluded to!

 In the meantime, Social Media Tycoon Smiley Yuckerberg who runs one of the world's largest social media sites lamented how Donald Dump wanted to build a wall to keep out the "riff and raff" from south of our border. We need "to get along better than that," he maintained. Pillary agrees, "Read my lips, no new walls!" Meantime, Yuckerberg's neighbors on the Island Nation of Hay-Why-ee are up in arms because Yuckie is building a six-foot wall around HIS estate! Mocking Yuckie, his neighbors say, "We need to get along better than that!" To which Yuckie's staff replied that if the neighbors were that concerned about the view, they should have bought the estate themselves! Now folks, that oughta-hold-em! (Not really; Yuckie's
staff forgot to point out that others not as well endowed with money, could hardly afford the place!)

Well, good people, that is our parody from today's world of wacky politics! Isn't it nice to live in a free country where everything goes and our fearless leaders are fearless, because they are free to be, and think the rest of us are 
too stupid to notice, comment or object??!

Take a "Gander" at the world of our "leaders," folks!
