Celebrity President of the United States of America: Barack Obama
Celebpotus - noun, singular /sə-‘leb-pə-təs/ [suh-leb-puh-tuh s] 1. A melding of the word, ‘celebrity’ and the abbreviation, ‘POTUS,’ it refers to a U.S. president who relies on personal popularity in lieu of sound policies to advance his political agenda. The term is currently used to describe President Barack Obama and Presidents…uh…well, any presidents like Barack Obama.
Beginning with the revolutionary patriots who dared to stand against the tyranny of King George, through this very day on which many of our finest young men and women serve far from home so that others may benefit from the same freedoms and opportunities that have made us the envy of the world, we take this one day to pause and reflect upon a debt that can never be repaid, and for which we are all forever accountable.
We give thanks for those who gave more than could be asked, but not less than their love for our nation would allow.
You are not forgotten.

Déjà vu all over again. Nancy Pelosi Denies Knowledge of Waterboarding, Again.
“Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on [legal] authorities, and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed.”
— CIA director, Leon Panetta, 5-5-09
Nancy Pelosi now claims that despite CIA briefings given to the House Intelligence Committee during which the waterboarding of terrorist detainees was discussed — that she had no knowledge that the technique was actually being used.
They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching. They’ll see… they’ll see… and they’ll know… and they’ll say… ‘why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly…’
— Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, 5-15-09

Fox News
With apologies to the producers of “The Wizard of Oz,” to Margaret Hamilton (who played the Wicked Witch of the West) and to whoever was lucky enough to get to play the lead Flying Monkee (damn, I wanted that part!), for depicting them so horribly here. They deserved better.
