Satrap is when I make impromptu rhymes about how good I am at standardized tests.

An unconstitutional satrap,
Each new czar brings his brand of mishap
Van Jones, outright commie
Close pal of Obammy
A racist who’s prone to just say crap

On Monday, Labor Day, Dear Leader will announce his nominee for “Satrap of the Czars”... Prevailing rumor is the nominee will be Michael Dukakis... When asked why Dukakis was the choice, an anonymous WH source stated “Since he retired from politics, no one has heard a frikkin’ thing about him. Heck, we thought he’d died... so we figure he’s got no ‘Van Jones’ skeletons to worry about.”
