The constituti­on? So last century

-

If Mini Obama ever forgets that he’s a newcomer to the political scene, just leave it to the leader of the Red Berets to remind him in a not-so-subtle manner. When the DA leader asked McBuffalo if the state should not be releasing land it owns for use as urban settlement areas, rather than focusing exclusivel­y on land expropriat­ion, Juju quickly aimed a jibe at his somewhat belated entry into politics. “People talk about those who wrote the constituti­on as [if] those people are dead, forgetting they are talking to one of them,” he said in reference to McBuffalo, who played a central part in the drafting of the supreme law of the land. “But if you came late to politics, you may not know you are talking to a person who wrote the constituti­on,” said the commander, to roars of laughter from his overfed army in red overalls. Needless to say, neither Mini Obama nor his lackeys on the DA benches found that at all funny.
