bill the cat twice won the national radical meadow party's nomination to run for president of the united states (potus), in 1984 and 1988, despite being dead in the first instance, and despite having a vocabulary that mainly consisted of "aack!" he lost twice, once because of coughing up a fur ball on connie chung, not to mention several scandals, including an unauthorized biography written by albert goldman exposing him as a vegesexual, and a bartles & jaymes junkie. the second was plagued with scandals. in spite of this political affiliation, he embarked on a torrid love affair with jeane kirkpatrick, then was later used as the primary source for an illegal cat-sweat-based baldness cure. his brain was replaced with donald trump's (who had been hit with his yacht's anchor while sunbathing in new york harbor).
