Quote - So why are politicians different? Well, the ridicule and parody of any government figure and/or institution is totally cool under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. This extends to commercial products with the name and likeness of said politician or organization.
Otherwise, a politician or institution could use existing copyright or trademark law to stifle dissent very quickly.

Dissent? In America??? No way! Give them time they are working on it.
