That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 04, 2021

“Are you sure the electoral college is a good idea?”

“We are here to ask if your wife could lend us some money.”

And now, gentlemen, we come to the conclusion of the final round of American Idol. The last American Idol in the competition, George Washington, will wind things up with “No, no, no, I’m Not Going” from Dreamgirls." Will he win the crown??? He says he won’t take it if he does! Gentlemen, here’s George!

“Our investment in white stocking futures is paying off nicely!”

“Nix-on that! Those are Trump-ed up allegations! Grant-ed, there were youthful indiscretions with an ax, but the tree was barely more than a Bush, and a Tru(e)man would talk to me in person rather than hide behind a lawyer’s cloak. I will Bide(n) my time before Ford(ing) that stream.”

This was before sitting presidents. Standing presidents were subject to law suits

Oh, cherry up George. It will be tree years before this gets to court.

“I cannot tell a lie…No! He has me mistaken for some mythical character in a Parson Weems story.”

“And let it be decreed that from this day forward, only drab colors shall be permitted by those representing the country! A thousand curses upon any scoundrel who should wear so much as a TAN SUIT!”

“HEAR HEAR!” Peter King I

“WHAT PETER SAID!” Rupert Murdoch I

“I could chop down a cherry tree on Pennsylvania Avenue and my people would still love me.”

Everyone had taken advantage of the buy one pair of crew socks and get the second pair half off during the sale at Foot Locker.

“I cannot tell a lie. My opponent did it!”

All I am asking Mr. Washington sir, is for a pee break!

I’s in power fo’ de nex’ fo’ years !

♫ One of these things is not like the other, ♫ one of these guys is wearing black socks.

Sir, please, let’s change the name from the United Funny Shaped Pieces of Land to the United States. It’ll fit on currency easier.
