Hmmm.
"Jack, you know how I hate it when the wind blows my hair in that convertible. Why don't you ask the Secret Service to put the top up?"
"Mr. Lincoln, we shouldn't go out on Good Friday. Let's stay home and pop some popcorn." (Mary Todd never referred to him as anything other than Mr. Lincoln!)
"Bill, like Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
"Albert, can't you spend more time working on a theory of why my relatives don't like you?"
"Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, can't you stop being such a revolting S.O.B. for just a little while?" Olga?? Krupshkaya
"Nicholas, you know if you let up on the serfs just a little bit, you'll find they like you a whole lot more." Alexandra

FYI - this seems to be taking shape as a song... Kind of Brecht/Weill, fading cabaret star with a couple of actors providing dramatic voice to the satirical point through short spoken scenes interspersed throughout the song. Saves me the trouble of having to justify the strange mix of allusions!  Yay! The downside: It's now not just satire, it's rhyming satire.  Oof.
