The Reverend Sydney B. Obama
April 21st, 2009 by Bertie
It came to me yesterday, amidst my busy schedule of plucking the gowans fine and imbibing potations in moderation, whom it was that the American President reminded me of. All in a flash–or in a sudden moment of illumination, if you prefer to put it that way, one of Jeeves’ gags–I saw it all. “Strike me pink, it’s Soapy Sid!”
I only wonder that a normally observant fellow like me missed it for so long. I mean to say, the two of them are practically twins, like wossname, Damocles and Psoriasis.

I fear your forays into classical scholarship have not met with marked success, sir.

Please don’t desecrate P. G. Wodehouse’s politically-innocent body of work to support YOUR politically-immature “I heard it on Fox so it must be true” drivel.
Hijacking Jeeves’ “gentlemen’s personal gentlemen’s” club’s name for the purposes of promoting the played out, tiresome, and odious droppings of the Republican Fascist collective of Beck-Limbaugh-Coulter-Rove-Cheney-Palin-Gingrich — whose pre-masticated and obviously indigestible verbal diarrhea you incessantly parrot here — is, to say the very least, in the worst of taste.
Quite possibly worse than that, your amateurish and maladroit attempts to write in the Wodehousian — let alone the Jeevesian — style are, simply put, an embarrassing revelation of your own shallow, barely-skin-deep comprehension of the power and subtlety of Wodehouse’s métier.
I plan on contacting the principals still involved in the disposition and protection of P.G. Wodehouse’s legacy (Michael Armstrong & John Peter Lobbenberg, as trustees of the English Wodehouse Settlement Number Three, L. Malley Vernon, Executor of the Estate of P. G. Wodehouse), to make them aware of the possibly actionable breaches of copyright, misrepresentation, and outright plagiarism on this hate-mongering site.
