Theodore Roosevelt

"What's up, bitches?!"

- Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt is the host/mascot of the ERB News videos, who also battled Winston Churchill in Theodore Roosevelt vs Winston Churchill. He has also co-hosted an ERB News with Adam Smith and another with his cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Information on the host
Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt Jr. was born on October 27th, 1858, in New York City, New York. He was an American politician, author, naturalist, explorer, founder of several national parks, and historian who served as the 26th President of the United States. He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the Progressive Party. He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, and his leadership of the Progressive Movement, as well as his "cowboy" persona and robust masculinity. One lasting popular legacy of Roosevelt are the stuffed teddy bears named after him following an incident on a hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902, when Roosevelt famously refused to shoot a defenseless American black bear. He died of cardiovascular disease at the age of 60 on January 6th, 1919, in Cove Neck, New York.

Verse 1:
Bully! A challenge! I love competition!

Now where would I mount the stuffed head of a Winston?

(Ha!) I'm into fitness, digging ditches through an isthmus,

Rough riding down to Cuba like, "What's up, bitches?!"

I keep my rhymes pure like my food and drugs!

I'm an American stud, and you're the British Elmer Fudd!

I mean for Christ's sake look at that mug!

At least grow a spruce mustache and cover part of it up!

And let's face it, you're not all that great!

You tossed away lives in Gallipoli like they were scraps off your plate!

Your whole miserable country is the size of one state!

I could see my way through running that without donning my pince-nez!

Don't go toe to toe with me, you bloated drunk old man!

Why don't you do-si-do on over to a twelve-step program?

I'll bust a trust fund lush with my American muscles,

So walk softly over here and give my big stick a suckles!

Verse 2:
My parents died when they were young, and it was morbid,

But at least they didn't ditch me while they were alive like yours did!

Oh shit! World War too soon?

Well, Teddy's dropping bombs, so you best go hide in your tube!

(Ooh!) You should be ashamed of your military honor!

Everyone knows you're back at home like, "Thank God for Pearl Harbor!"

Don't worry, the US will give you a pass!

Just change your poster to "Keep calm and kiss my cousin's ass!"

Verse 3:
A bullet can't stop the Bull Moose!

TR will give WC the full deuce!
