> [@Mehitabel](#): > > Of course, the friendly competition and ad revenue generated by my well-heralded visits to each brewery will quickly pay all the costs of this position as well as feelings of goodwill as countless Americans hoist countless steins to the forward-thinking and handsome President **Monstre.** You see, it’s attitudes like this that truly make the world a better place. Now this is a platform I can get behind (or at least under, once I’ve helped finish the keg). When can you start? ---

While I can go with hairy chests or non-hairy chests, I do like the hair to stop _somewhere_. Besides, as I recall, there’s nothing more than hair to that guy. ---

> [@Monstre](#): > > Oooh, yes – I think we definitely need to run the Monstre campaign on a new and better party. Food and drink will be a must. And no long boring speeches at the conventions – better entertainment will be required. Care to be Party Chairman? Yeah, fer shure Mr President. I partied a little too hard myself which is why I was slow to respond to your offer. What’s my budget aqnd when do I start? ---

Well, you’ll need to coordinate with **Mehitabel** , Secretary of Kegs. Make sure they are refilled frequently. As to when you can start… how long do you expect that hangover to last?

While I can go with hairy chests or non-hairy chests, I do like the hair to stop _somewhere_. Besides, as I recall, there’s nothing more than hair to that guy. As Minister of _Lookin’ Sexy_, I will personally vouch for the Handsomeness of our fearless leader, Monstre. He is most definitely one sexy bastard, and most likely more qualified for the post than I. He is the originator of _Lookin’ Sexy_, and is always quick with the joke or a light of your smoke and there’s nowhere that he’d rather be. This [here](http://tennessee.facebook.com/profile.php?id=9410007) is my facebook entry, just so’s you can see your Minister of _Lookin’ Sexy_ as he is. Not much compared to the Monstre! ---

Really? Darn. Well, it’s a free thing that all the college kids are doing…it may require a college email…I don’t recall. No worries. Just Facebook. BTW, a Sycophant Banquet doesn’t require swallowing goldfish, does it? I HATE goldfish. ---

> [@Hung Mung](#): > > BTW, a Sycophant Banquet doesn’t require swallowing goldfish, does it? I HATE goldfish. Well, I hadn’t planned on any goldfish. But actually the Sycophants’ Banquet, like all other Yes-Men activities, involves doing whatever I tell you to do. But you will get free food. * * * On another note… since we are in the planning phases, and the 2008 election has not actually taken place, the Monstre campaign will need a catchy slogan or two. I could always borrow from past presidents – “A Return To Monstrecy”… or “Tippecanoe and Monstre Too”… or “I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Woman”… But I think the Monstre for President 2008 campaign could really use something new and original. Your suggestions are welcome. ---

> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > How about “The next president will be the one to clean this up, not me” Well, I’m not sure that’s the best PR… Certainly you don’t assume the Monstre administration will be making messes, do you? Okay, I mean there may be a little disarray after the victory keg party, but… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hail-to-the-monstre-in-chief/319380.md?page=3)
