Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain

10 Oct

These are trying times for Dear Leader.

His approval ratings are dropping through the floor.

The howling lynchmob has tightened the noose around Saint Karl, his most trusted political advisor.

His most powerful congressional ally might soon be headed to prison.

His handpicked Supreme Court nominee ( whom we know to be qualified, despite her total lack of judicial experience or a track record, because he says she is) is being savaged – by his own party.

His party is openly defying him in other ways – such as passing laws that offer the unpatriotic assertion that the US should not be involved in torturing people.

The Nattering Nabobs are harping on his eminently generous nature in awarding government jobs, offering up the ludicrous notion that some of his friends might be dangerously unqualified.

His government, which suffered a few, minor, harmless glitches in its efforts to provide hurricane relief, is now heroically scrambling to catch up to the threat of worldwide flu pandemic.

His entirely understandable mistrust of all those damn godless egghead scientists, and their repeated warnings about looming environmental and climate disaster, is being called into question.

His Holy War, whose eminently worthwhile nature more than justified the few small fibs required to convince the public of its necessity, seems to be growing more unpopular by the day among people who insist on looking at minor fripperies like military and civilian deaths and monstrous military budgets, rather than at the Big Picture.

In short, the public, who once gave him an overwhelming landslide mandate to continue as God’s Representative on Earth, seems to be turning to the traitorous notion that he is the Worst. President. Ever.

The crucial question, when we hit minor bumps in the road such as those described above, is as always: how do we distract people from Dear Leader’s troubles and thus rebuild their faith in his infallible leadership?

Hey, how about a Terror Alert?
