and for the same reason I love Groucho.

The office building line comes from the same dialog in Duck Soup. If anyone wants to know what Americans in the late thirties thought about contemporary European politics, I recommend that movie. Just remember that Rufus T. Firefly is not exactly someone you want as President. He's kinda like Dick Cheney, only with a palatable personality.
