The Greatest Lie

Barnum understated his famous claim, 

not one but ten

and he probably praised every sucker born 

for their intelligence.

So I wish politicians would stop saying 

the American people are not stupid 

when in fact they really are

for how else can we explain 

this photo-finish race?

I suggest we put Daffy Duck up against Mitt Romney in 2016.
By then it shouldn't be too hard to convince everybody cartoons are people too.
