Erwin, you are off the mark.

The Wizard of Oz (2008 political farce)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wizard of Oz is a 2008 Canadian political farce mainly directed by Jean
Chrétien and based on the 1900 children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
by L. Frank Baum.[1] The play features Elisabeth May as Dorothy Gale, Jack
Layton as the Scarecrow, Gilles Duceppe as the Tin Man, Stéphane Dion as the
Cowardly Lion, Michaelle Jean, as Glinda the Good Witch of the North,
Stephen Harper as the Wicked Witch of the West, George W. Bush as the Wicked
Witch of the East and Barack Obama as the Wizard.

The play follows schoolgirl Dorothy Gale (Elisabeth May) who lives on a
Hartford, Connecticut farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, but dreams of a
better place “somewhere over the rainbow.” After being struck unconscious
during a tornado by a window which has come loose from its frame, Dorothy
dreams that she, her dog Toto, and the farmhouse were transported to the
magical Land of Oz (Canada). There, the Good Witch of the North Glinda
(Michaelle Jean) advises Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road to Emerald
City (Washington DC) and meet the Wizard of Oz, (Barack Obama) who can
return her to Hartford, Connecticut.

During her journey, she meets a Scarecrow, (Jack Layton), Tin Man (Gilles
Duceppe) and a Cowardly Lion (Stéphane Dion), who join her, hoping to
receive what they lack themselves (a brain, a heart, and courage,
respectively), all of this is done while also trying to avoid the many plots
of the Wicked Witch of the West, (Stephen Harper) in her attempt to get the
ruby slippers that Dorothy received from the squashed Wicked Witch of the
East (George W. Bush).

Karol, I’ll have to dust off my copy of Photoshop and get crackin’!

Gerrit, thank you.
You did a splendid job of it.

BTW it is so much fun that you could think of producing few more pictures as they might become very popular in not so distant future.

This just screams out for a billboard and really big lights

Stéphane Dion plays Cowardly Lion and it seems that on his way out of politics he found his courage,

Jack Layton, plays Scarecrow, and it seems that when he sees steep drop in donations to NDP and he is forced to step down as a leader that he will soon find his brain

Gilles Duceppe plays Tin Man and it seems that as soon as Harper cuts government subsidies to political parties and he is forced to step down as a leader that he wil find his heart

Elisabeth May plays Dorothy Gale and it seems that as soon as Harper cuts government subsidies to political parties she will find her way back to Kansas (Hartford, Connecticut)
