Thanks for challenging my vocabulary. I had to look up remoras. Adorable creatures.

From Wikipedia: Some remoras associate primarily with specific host species. Remoras are commonly found attached to sharks, manta rays, whales and turtles, (hence the common names sharksucker, whalesucker).

Sharksucker is a charming name I'll have a lot of fun applying to various politicians.

I love the Far Side cartoons. There is one with a shark looking in his bathroom mirror. He’s got several on his neck. The caption says, “The heartbreak of remoras.”

LOL! In case you are not a couch potato there was a tv commercial for Tegrin shampoo that talked about “the heartbreak of psoriasis”. It was one of those slogans that took on it's own life.
