The Most Powerful Man in the World

Barack Obama, who with the press of a button could end humanity as we know it, uses the occasion of Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll to test our hypothesis that no man gains from juxtaposition to a human being wearing a rabbit costume.

Previous experiments in Man-Furry Comparative Gravitas follow.

Note: Our lab technicians were unable to find evidence of Richard Nixon posing with a Harvey impersonator, and chose the next best thing.

White House war on Easter: Party, but no proclamation? [Pareene/Salon]

I’m reminded of the Queen at a garden party.

Particularly by Nixon. And by Preznit Bunnypants doing what he did best.

@¡Andrew!: Thank you for scaring the dogs. Now they’re all hiding and won’t come out.

I don’t remember rabbits from London. Cadbury’s chocolate eggs, yes. But not men dressed up as wabbits. Is this a case of creeping Hallmarkism?

@Benedick: They should really be scared of the fact that these “Easter Bunnies” don’t even charge the children fair market value for the eggs! The Red Menace has a stranglehold on children’s Kommyewnist indoctrination at the White House. Just wait until next week’s celebration with the May Day Mongoose!

Nojo, m’dear, I’m concerned with the growing percentage of your posts that seem to have been written mostly to instill terrible earworms in your precious readers. I think it’s intervention time.

@flippin eck: Hey, what’s wrong with Tears for Fears?

@flippin eck: The clue is that the earworm should be the acoustic version.

@nojo:

28 days… 6 hours… 42 minutes… 12 seconds. That… is when the world… will end.

;)

@al2o3cr: See, if I was clever, I would have pasted Frank’s head on Elvis.

Neither better nor worse than posing with Bono.

I want to know why the bunny costumes all have huge, staring eyes, and gaped-open mouths. Particularly the gaped-open mouths. I’ve never seen a real rabbit that kept its mouth open for any length of time greater than that necessary to yawn or eat food. Rabbits are iconically close-mouthed.

@IanJ: I think the bunny to the left of Reagan actually ran the country for eight years.

@nojo: He had tons of hare-brained ideas.

@nojo: His left or our left? It’s not as remarked upon, but I suspect that Nancy wielded some Edith Wilson-type influence toward the end.

@mellbell: Our left. Those eyes are beaming messages into Ronnie’s head.

@Mistress Cynica: The entire story, from start to finish, is sickening.
