A smiling man in a suit and red tie stands at a podium with a microphone, fist raised in a triumphant campaign-rally pose, shouting "THIS IS IT!" A caption beneath reads: "Despite our clever slogan, America just wasn't ready for a eunuch president." The joke: the rallying cry "This is it!" doubles as the campaign slogan, punning on "it" meaning genitals — hence a eunuch candidate. Votey: a close-up line drawing of a bald, scowling man declaring "I'm the only rational candidate!" — a play on "rational" sounding like the eunuch theme of lacking the parts that drive irrational impulses.
