• Acceptable Political Targets: George W. Bush fared very badly, usually represented as being intellectually about six years old (when describing him leaving a letter behind for his successor, Barack Obama, to read, they suggested he would leave behind the letter C. With a footnote: C is for cat). Sarah Palin is taking over this role - see Standard Snippet below.
  • Nick Clegg (Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Democrat party) is the current favourite target, with jokes usually around his credibility or conscience. Or rather lack of either since he formed a coalition government with the Conservatives.
