Tom Bombadil in the White House?

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Squatter, I think it really IS the One Ring... at least I hope so.

Actually, I think it's Mr. Bush's wedding ring; or at least I hope so. I dread to think what he'd do with that sort of power.

Verb sap: perhaps it would be a good idea to drop these amusing allegories, lest someone compare Osaruman with Emmanuel Goldstein and open a real can of worms.
