Ficus elected to office

[snopes]

Comment: I always thought it was true that a ficus plant won an election
for mayor or governor somewhere. Recently, I was trying to find some proof
of this, and all I found was a reference to michael moore running a ficus
in a congressional campaign; no mention of any kind of victory.
Has a plant ever won an election?

Did the ficus have a birth certificate, or only a Hawaiian certificate of live birth?

Micheal Moore pulled that off in some county where there only used to be one candidate.

Why not? The US has elected two bushes as presidents.

What? someone was going to say it.

OK, Eddylizard, you've won this discussion. There is nothing we can say to top that one. I bow to your mighty pun-fu. You pwned as all, big time.
