In ancient Rome, the Emperor loved growing berries.

[rustydog]

This one Roman farmer had this spectacular berry bush that produced the largest tastiest berries in the Empire and all would travel to the farm to admire the great bush.

One day the emperor hears talk of these fantastic berries that his majesties berries can't even come close to...he is filled with rage and sends a General out to find the farmer and take the berry bush.

The General searches far and wide. One day he finds the farmer and asks if he is the owner of the berry bush all Rome is talking about. The Farmer says; yes, I do, do you wish to see it?

The General says; " No, I've come to seize your berry, not praise it."

5. And Commodus

At least the movie version. He's in the White House.

That kind of works. Clinton as Marcus Aurellius. Gore as whatever the Gladiator's name was. He is betrayed, and Commodus takes over.

If Gore comes runs in 2008, we'd have something.
