Day 110 of the Ken Presidency


El Presidente

Recommended Posts

Some ideas have **** written all over it and this one reeked to high Heaven.

President ken was in fine spirits this morning for the weekly cabinet meeting. Maximus Robusto scanned the cabinet table and took in the 12 females who collectively looked like the film clip to Robert Palmers “Simply irresistible”.

Today was a big day as it was the opening to the first Habanos Festival under the new Presidente ken regime. PK and Minister for almost everything....Jose... had worked together to revitalize the Festival into a week of parties based around friendships and no sit down long dinners. The Presidential Palace (Club Havana) was to be the showcase for the opening night. PK had gone all out to get “The Boss” Springsteen to play on the beach for the evening. What worried Maximus was Kens brainstorm of a Cuban wine tasting on the evening followed by Cuban wines for the event. The fact that the Treasury had no money to pay Springsteens $1m appearance fee was also a slight concern.

PK: “ Sorry I am late people, I was just finishing my opening address for the Festival in Spanish”

In unison....Hamlets, Jose’s and Maximus’s heads hit the table.

Jose:“Ken, may I respectfully recommend I read your speech to ensure it is correct?”

PK: “ No need Jose...I am fluent!”

Hamlet: “Ken...at last week’s meeting with Chavez you called him a transvestite!”

PK:” That wasn’t my fault Hamlet! Maximus told me Travestido meant world leader!

No, I am going to write my own speeches from here on. Spanish is very much like English except you add an “O” to everything and use your hands a lot”.

Hamlet:” We are ****ed”

Maximus:“Lets give ken a break. I mean how much damage can he do....it is a Cigar Festival for Heavens sake”.

Ken: “Grasiass Mr Robusto. Yo mucho competenete!”

Hamlet: “estamos jodido”

Ken: ” Is that the new cigar we are releasing for the Festival Hamlet”

Hamlet: “No mucho competente Presidente. It means we’re ****ed but the new range of “Flying Pigs” are ready for launch. They are magnificent”

Ken:” Excellente! Jose the Cuban wines for the evening are ready and chilling? Have Jancis Robinson, Suckling and the other wine reviewers arrived?”

Jose: “Presidente, the vinegar is chilling. The wine writers have arrived”

Maximus: “For the love god Ken, let’s change this to a rum tasting and have a rum and mojito night!”

Ken: “you are all too negative. We must promote everything Cuban!”

“Maximus, has Springsteen arrived? I want to go over the songs I want played. I also want to make sure he pulls me on stage during Dancing in the Dark.... like Courteney Cox.... so I can do a bit of a dance. I want the world to know that things have changed in Cuba.

Hamlet: “yes...they will know we have a *** mother ****** presidente who can’t dance”

Maximus: “Hamlet,position minister Yaima near the stage”

Ken: “Enough of this negativity. It will be a smashing success!!!”

“Maximus...does Springsteen know he will be paid in local Pesos”

Maximus: “No Ken, but the printing presses are going full bore”

Ken: “Gorgeous Minister Yaima, have you arranged a suitable escort for me this evening?”

Yaima “Miss Cuba will accompany you this evening Presidente”

Maximus “ Are we paying her in Pesos or Maytags?”

Ken ”Smartarse”

And with that ken left the meeting..jigging away... hands in the air.. practicing for his hoped for duet with the Boss of “Born to Run ”.

Maximus gives the final instructions to the ministers.

“Jose...chill the wine to 4 degees Celsius. Lets get it so cold no one will notice how bad it is”

“Hamlet...Arrange 3 Mojitos per person upon arrival...half rum”

‘Yaima...Bruce is looking for his money. Stall him until after the show”

Go with God people and may the heavens shine upon us.

It was a sea of faces at the Havana Club Presidential Palace as Presidente Ken walked over the mosaic tiles to the top of the stairs to deliver his opening address. Ken was resplendent in a Black Armani dinner jacket with scarlet cummerbund and tailored trousers.

Hamlet, Jose and Maximus were standing together at the bottom of the stairs.

Hamlet: “It is a good start”

Jose: “Yes..he is wearing trousers”

Hamlet “Are they ******* medals on his jacket?”

Maximus “Yes, he gives himself a medal if he goes a day without making a critical mistake”

Jose: “There’s only three medals?”

Maximus “Tell me about it”

Ken moves forward to the microphone with the eyes of all 1400 guests upon him.

” Testing.....testing..Testing”

“Hola Amigos y Ormigas!”

Hamlet: “Did the *******er just say “hello Friends and Ants?”

Maximus: “Yep...looks like the medal count stays at three”

To be continued.

listen, as i have told you before. spanish is easy. get a very bad cold and make certain that there is no pause of any kind in any sentence and as few vowels as possible except that 'o' on the end.

i've tried cuban wine and for this drivel, you'll be served nothing but next time on the balcony (shame we were not filming today - weird effects).

are you going to do one of these every time you are hungover?

and smithy, get a spellcheck.

Thankfully I read this in the morning rather than the night....A visual I didn't need.

that is really good stuff, keep it coming Rob. Also, maybe we can find a way to incorporate Smithy as a some sort of foreign leader in the next installment...

I suppose, being new here, that I have missed something, but DAMN, that's funny stuff!

Just want the video Reviews and you will understand what Ken is all about and last week Rob wrote his first story of President Ken while he was at home with Swine flu and it has continued from there.... :D

Sit back and enjoy and wait for the next installment :)
