Now that George W. Bush is long gone, Ted Leo and his band of Pharmacists are probably having trouble coming up with ways of lashing out at The Man for their new album. Because there are only so many songs you can write about the Iraq War, I've taken it upon myself to invent fake corrupt politicians to inspire him. Here’s a list of leaders I plan to email him:
- Baron Von Clighorn: a German dictator who is responsible for waging war with the state of Pennsylvania after his Philly cheese steak gave him the runs.
- Igor The Heavyweight: an overweight eight-year-old that ran away from his fat camp in Russia and went on a killing spree all over Europe, targeting fast food employees. Ran for office after getting out of jail and won.
- Joseph Fineman: a former AIG employee that took his bonus and ran... all the way to congress, where he now fights for big business injustices.
