The Order of the Elephants


The Order of the Elephant wishes to succeed Obama “The Thin Skinned” and his Order of the Donkey in the next two elections. However, they will not succeed if they continue to resort to demagoguery and virulent personal attacks. The latest claim by Lindbaugh “The Loud One” about Obama's attendance at the transfer of war dead at Dover Air Force Base is the kind of nasty nonsense that will keep the Elephants from realizing their goals. Regardless of Obama's purpose at being at the airfield, the Loud One's comments can only be viewed as pure churlishness. The Elephants are struggling to determine the character of their party. His Majesty recommends they seize the high ground by focusing on policy differences rather than nasty rhetoric. The Elephants are stinging from the harsh treatment of Bush “The Younger” by Obama and the Donkeys and have allowed themselves to be drawn into a gutter fight that they can not win. The Elephants are trying to determine if the moderate elements of the party or the “hard right” elements will set the agenda. Whichever they choose they would best be served by conducting themselves in a manner that does not make them appear to be petty and divisive. The Emperor believes his beloved right-thinking subjects desire a leader that can point the way forward without pointing fingers. The Elephants are advised to resolve their internal disputes privately, suppress nasty and pointless dialogue, and choose an intelligent and charismatic leader to face the “Thin Skinned” in the next election lest they condemn the realm to more donkey's years.
