The One and the Potted Plant.
The One: Hey, I’ve got a great idea. I’m going to order that we have a look-a-like Air Force One, followed by a military fighter plane buzz the Statue of Liberty and the Financial District in lower Manhattan.
Potted Plant: Mr. President, I question whether that is a good idea. That is the place where the September 11th attacks took place and so many people were killed. I think it will frighten the workers in that area, particularly those who survived the September 11th attacks, as well as those who lost loved ones in the attacks.
The One: What the hell do you know?
Do you believe that? What the hell do I know?

It was classic I did a paraphrase of Kipling’s “Cleared” on my Blog in dedication to this stunning example of PR intelligence
Help for an Office sullied, a Spotless Spirit hurt,
Help for an Honourable Clan sore trampled in the dirt!
From Washington to Frisco Bay, O listen to my song,
The honourable gentlemen have suffered grievous wrong
Their noble names were mentioned O the burning black disgrace!
By brutal Right Wing Punidits; in a Faux Air Safety Case
If black is black or white is white, in black and white it’s down,
You did not pay attention when appointments went around
If print is print or words are words, the Media perpends: —
We are not ruled by Fools, but only — by their friends.

I understand that, after Executive review, the gorilla-climb photo-op at the Empire State Building is canceled and the Martian-landing photo-op in Grover’s Mill has been put on hold.

Okay this will have me laughing the rest of the day. Perfect.

Are you saying that a potted plant makes a better president than Obama?

All I want is to have 5 min alone with the person that made the decision. That would be true justice.

And from the leftists on the blogs I read, the response is much ado about nothing. So a few bankers shit their pants. No big deal. And as to the cost, the bankers have that much in cars sitting in their garage.
The more I see of them, the more amazed I am that they ever get anyone to pay any attention to them who has a lick of sense. Wonder if they do.

Jim, I think you need to present the facts from the can of peas’ point of view, too. Just to be fair to the President.

Maybe the potted plant could also suggest where The One can plant his two-lips.
