> [@John\_Bredin](#): > > Donald Trump as the Baron Harkonnen, Steve Bannon as his right-hand mentat Tumuch Uisce, and Reince Priebus as the rival mentat in the Baron’s court Vinegar Badger. 🙂 [Right.](http://www.bradwarthen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/13166021_10153508840119147_4024795156990540639_n.jpg) Ok, I can translate “Too Much Whiskey,” but I don’t get the Vinegar Badger reference. (Actually, Reince Priebus sounds much more like a mentat’s name.) ---

(Actually, Reince Priebus sounds much more like a mentat’s name.) Priebus grew up in Wisconsin and was a Wisconsin GOP leader, hence Badger for the Badger State. Honey badger don’t care, as the meme goes, but surely Priebus is the opposite of honey. 🙂 You’re right, I should’ve stuck with his real name. :smack: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/steve-bannons-lapel-pin/781480.md?page=1)
