The auditorium hallways are packed due to the Rest-Room Surge of 12,647 Republican Weedlers -- The Birthday Girl, Miz Roberta Wright McKlean, has been swallowed up into the Black Hole of the GOP.
Pushing through the crowd and into the packed Men's Room is M&M cub reporter, Lucy Goo who thrusts a mike into the snout of the famed non-aligned political observer & Talkinghead, Mr. Cow Head Soup, Esquire.
LUCY GOO: "S'cuse pleez, s'cuse me --- Meester Soup, I Lucy Goo weese de "M&M BUFOON" --- Pleez ann'sa all Lucy's good questchuns, pleez"
COW HEAD SOUP: "What chew tink of deez policktickal peopleses to-night? -- hey?"
A large group of women begin to file into the Men's Room and crowd in on the cub reporter and her 'job'. A small, freckle-faced strawberry named Petunia leans to her gravity-challenged girlfriend and asks;
PETUNIA: "Hey, Olga honey, ain't that Cow Head Soup, the famous non-aligned political talking-head freak?"
OLGA-HONEY: "Shure iz --- hey, he shure iz a cutie-pie in real life."
PETUNIA: "yeah --- he looks so fake in the cartoons, dontcha think-so?"
OLGA-HONEY: "BURRRRP !!" -- "Shhhh, shhhh -- let me hears what heez sayin"
[Due to the ever-growing, noisy, toilette-flushing crowd, the 'more-than-buxom' cub reporter presses in upon the debonaire Mr. Soup until her nose begins bobbing up & down with his very, very large adam's apple]
LUCY GOO: "Meester Cow Head Soup -- yu iz veery veery famous for haabing neva guess wong'd a pesadent'chal elect'chun eeen manie, manie yeear, -- Yes?"
COW HEAD SOUP: "True-True, Mizz Goo. --- Never-Ever"
LUCY GOO: "So !! So !! --- Beeeg Ques'chun --- who bee eeeen de peopleses Whitehouse, cum in Janawarary? -- Who, who ?"
COW HEAD SOUP: "Early last year Miz Goo, I told the schmartie-pundits that that Warmongerer up on stage tonight would be elected.
LUCY GOO: "Weeely, Meeester Soup? -- Deees iz so?"
COW HEAD SOUP: "Uhhhhh, ----- Yup"
LUCY GOO: (nose begins to glow from Apple-Friction) "Aiine, who dat, who iz de McKlean's Nice Presy'dent?"
COW HEAD SOUP: "That's . . . 'Vice' President"
LUCY GOO: (eyes flash & flutter) "Lucy like Vice, Lucy like Cow Head -- yes ?"
COW HEAD SOUP: (beading sweat) -- "To answer your question, Mizz Goo, the next Vice President will be ------- Condo-Leasor Vice, errr, --- Rice."
A loud commotion begins to build as a path to the interview is swathed by a 12 foot, 480 pound Amazon Woman who picks the cub reporter up by her hair & chucks her out the open window.
LUCY GOO: "AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE !!!"
[The Amazon's bulbous eyes then bullet down upon Mr. Soup who attempts to nonchalantly shuffle out the rest room and back to the auditorium]
BIG BERTHA: (BELLOWING ECHOES crack & shake the paint off the walls) "MY-MY, YOU IZ A CUTIE-PIE, LUVER-BOY,--- jus likes all mah Sistas said you wuz."
COW HEAD SOUP: (trembling within the Big Squeeze) -- "Heh, heh, --- I believe intermission is over. The forum's about to start."
BIG BIRTHA: "I DO BELIEVES EYE'S GOTS DE HOTS FER YOOU, SUCKA, ---- WHOOOOOOOPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!"
A Great Sucking Vacume Sound fills the Rest Room: "SCHLURRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP"
[A LOUD hallway BUZZER announces that the candidate & the McKlean Clan are preparing to resume the night's forum. As Bertha and the others file out into the hallway toward the auditorium, Cow Head Soup is nowhere to be seen]
