The New York Times editorial page turned cheeky Tuesday and had some fun with Ross Perot's name. "Making puns on people's names invites endless, tasteless imitation and so it might be worth the effort . . . to get every conceivable Perot pun out of our system," said an editorial bearing the headline "Perotxyms."
Having said that, the editorial then launched into a shameless flurry of bad Perot-based puns. "Even if his Latin American policy made him sound like a `Perot-nista,' his concern for global nuclear safety would remain `Perotmount,' " it said."In terms of domestic policy, he would surely be attentive to `Perotchial' schools. His concern for the handicapped would extend to `Perotplegics' and his health-care reform would have to cover `Perotinitis' and `Perotdontia.' But his opponents can be depended on, before long, to ridicule any claim that he's a `Perotgon' of virtue who could lead America to political `Perotdise.' "
