Brodner's Cartoon du Jour: Team of Rivals

There is a sort of a Kubrick’s “The Shinning” appeal to these figures and they are all hoping that Obama will become a permanent member of the Overlook Hotel.
And my daddy called that the shinning…
But will Obama soon be running around the oval office repeating George W. Bush’s memoir’s, in which the following sentence is repeated over and over again in various styles and formats for 500 hundred pages, “All work and no play makes George a dull boy”?...
or will Obama be seen on CNN prancing around loony eyed and semi-psychotic screaming after he left the forbidden room hidden somewhere in an unknown passageway of the White House (on the door it says ‘for mad men only’) where he witnessed the naked ghost lady wacked by Uncle Dick with an ice pick—“Whoops I mistook her head for an ice cube Barack”, Uncle Dick winks followed by some—ha, ha, whooo whooooing—and O’reilly’s head pops up out of a lampshade and says “Bomb them Barack bomb them back into the stone age—it’s the only patriotic thing a good president can do, Bomb’em and say Merry Christmas” and Barack feeling somewhat unsure of himself says, “Bomb who, Bomb who Bill?”
…and then an entire chorus of drone like zombie faces from all epochs of time—all permanent members of the overlook hotel chant “Bomb them Barack Bomb them—anyone, better bomb’em all… bomb them Barack, bomb them Barack”
and then Barack runs like a kid from the Little Rascals screaming “Redrum, Redrum” and that is his legacy, four years of “Redrum” before being dropped off for a permanent vacation at the Bellevue Psychiatric Hotel—now that certainly was change he says to Doctor Stangelove and in his head visions of atom bombs dance like sugar plums and he says to himself, “Somehow I thought heaven was going to be different from this.”
And then he wakes up all sweaty and squawks, “Michelle, Michelle, I had a nightmare” and she enters the room, dressed in a nurse’s uniform and smiles with vampire fangs…
Barack then scratches his chin contemplatively and asserts, ‘[deleted]…. and I haven’t even begun my first day in the White House and I’m already loosing it.
But this is all part of his cosmic top secret plan—something he picked up from watching tons of episodes of X-files, “keep your loonies close but your wacko nut jobs closest”—hence the weird constellation of his cabinet.
