I've been reading the accounts of the election all day. Evidently, no one was real surprised...

Sung to "I'm your Puppet" by James and Bobby Purify.
Pull the string and I'll talk for you, I'm your puppet I'll do ineffective things 'cause you want me to, I'm your puppet Mm. I'm yours to own and to mold Vladimir, you've got full control of your puppet Pull my little strings and I'll launch your ships, I'm your puppet Snap your fingers and I'll turn nuclear tricks, I'm your puppet Mm, I'll keep command while you're away In only 4 years you can be back to stay I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet I've been bought and sold, won't do anything bold, Holding the Presidency for you I'm a Putin fanboy too, do what I'm told to do I'll do anything for you I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet Just pull them little strings and I'll turn off the gas, I'm your puppet Your Cold War policies are safe in my hands, I'm your puppet. Mm, whisper in my ear and I'll do anything I'm just a puppet and you hold my string, I'm your puppet I'm your puppet...

The orignal lyrics are of course, "I'm Your Puppet" by the Purify Bros.
But the changes to the lyrics are mine.  I like writing satire. Wrote this in another thread in response to Radical Muslims getting a nuke from Pakistan: [Telephone ringing... ringing... ringing... ringing... finally picked up] Customer support person (with a heavy accent): Hello and many greetings to you! My name is Bob. May I have your name and account number please? Radical Muslim (with accent): Er, what? No, you may not have my name, infidel defiler! I just have a question about this warhead? Ok? CS Bob: I'm very sorry sir. Do you have an account with us? RM: No! Well, er, I did once. But that was a long time ago... I haven't used it in a while... CS Bob: That is perfectly fine sir. If you would give me your name, I can look it up in our database... RM: [curses in Arabic] All right. If that's the only way you can help me. Osama bin Laden. Little "b", capital "L". I had my account about 15 years ago. CS Bob: Thank you Mr. bin Laden. Just a moment while I get your account information. [Pakistani elevator music plays] 10 minutes later... TS Bob: Thank you for holding sir. I have your account information. How may I assist you? RM: Geez, it took long enough! I'm on my cell and this is costing me. Whaddayou guys use for a database? Microsoft? CS Bob: Many apologies sir. I do not know what we use. I am just accessing your file from my terminal. RM: It's probably a Microsoft product. Their crap is everywhere. Should be using Oracle... CS Bob: Yes sir. RM: Anyway I've got a nuclear bomb from your country and I can't get it to detonate and I need some help. CS Bob: Very good sir. What model is the bomb you are having trouble with? RM: Model? Criminy, I don't know. It's one of the smaller models I guess. CS Bob: I will need the model number sir. RM: Model number! geez... Ok, ok. Where is it located? CS Bob: Well sir, depending on the model, it could be in one of several places. I can describe the location... RM: [interruptng] Hey wait, look... this thing is round, kinda shaped like a beer can, painted in black and yellow stripes and is about 3 feet high with a button box on top. Does that help? CS Bob: Yes, thank you sir. Please hold while I get some information. [Pakistani elevator plays in the background] 5 minutes later... CS Bob:Thank you for holding Mr. bin Laden. I am thinking you have a Shiva Model Type AX1129. That is the only model we've had with a button box on the top. RM: Ok, so now can you help me? I mean I've tried everything and I just can't get this puppy to blow... CS Bob: I will need the serial number please. RM: What? Serial number! Man this really getting me steamed! All I want is a little information and it's like your putting me through a CIA interrogation at Guantanamo Bay. Geez... CS Bob: [coldly formal] Pardon me SIR... I am trying to help you but I must have certain information to do so. The Shiva Model Type AX1129 was a mid-year run and there were changes made in the firing order sequencer. That is why I now need the serial number. RM: Alright, alright. <sigh> Where is the serial number? Man this is more trouble than it's worth... CS Bob: The serial number of the Shiva Model Type Ax1129 thermonuclear device is located on a small metal tag, attached to the cylinder, riveted just below the button box. RM: Ok, just a minute, the bomb is in the other room. Can you hold a moment and I'll get the number. Just a sec... [puts phone down and stomps off muttering in Arabic under his breath] [a moment later] RM: [picking up the phone] There's no tag. It's been removed... CS Bob: That is unfortunate sir. I can only assist you if I have the proper information. Without the serial number, I cannot help you further. However our Technical Support Department can assist you. RM: [exasperated] Oh for crying out loud! I can't believe this. Oh, alright then. Tranfer me to your technical support department will ya? CS Bob: I'm sorry sir, you will have to call back tomorrow. Our technical support department is closed for the day. I can give you the num... RM: [issuing a string of strong oaths in Arabic]: Forget it son of a diarrheatic camel! ! I've wasted too much time trying to get this piece of cr*p working and I can't call back tomorrow! Thanks for nothing! This'll be the last time I use a Pakistani weapon I'll tell you! I knew we should have gone Russian on this! Look "Bob", I know a lot people and there's no way I'll ever recommend your nukes again! [slams phone]

 Old Putin and his cult of personality grows even bigger. I can only assume once Medvedev has completed his first term that the old autocrat himself, Putin will step back into the shoes of President, not that he really is stepping out of them.
