Political satire and parody are as American as apple pie.
I was about 14 or so when Vaughn Meader came out with “The First Family” record about the Kennedy White House.
And of course, Will Rogers never met a politician he couldn’t skewer.
Of course favorite targets more recently were Bill Clinton, still the target of comedic fireworks, and the linguistic gymnast “W”. Someone gave me a calendar that had no less than 365 butchered phrases by Bush.
Sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves. And our government is “us”.
He does have a good Broadway musical voice. He probably could pull off a major role, but why when Weird Al has more money in the bank than anyone he parodied with the exception of Michael Jackson.

Vote early, vote often. Vote for the Kennedy of your choice, but vote.
“Uh, uh, good night, Jackie.”
“Good night, John.”
…
“Eh, good night, Bobby.”
