"We are very concerned about what this meeting could have concerned," said an obviously concerned Sen. Robert Byrd (D- W.Va.). "We know the President and his advisers have been considering lowering the voting age to 3 and a half to give them an unfair advantage come election time by bringing out many more voters with the same IQ as the President."
If this fear turns out to be accurate, Bush may be looking to the Wiggles to bring some influence to his side to combat what will prove to be a very strong toddler lobby.
"We already know that the toddlers want less Sesame Street and more Wiggles," says Richard Riley, former Education Secretary under President Clinton. "These are demands we hear every day. We try to tell them that the Wiggles don't really have much educational value, but they don't seem at all worried about their own well being. They want more jelly beans and fewer peas, more dress-up time and shorter naps, and more puddle jumping and fewer baths. This lobby is going to be very hard to deal with should they get the right to vote."
Children's suffrage has long been advocated by 6-year-old Stacy Kutchon of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. "If my friends and I could have voted back in 2000 we all would have voted for Bush. We understood every word he said, not like that other poopy head." Kutchon also would have proposed a referendum to change the name of her town because, "it's not nice that we all focus on the clumsiness of Sue."
