Yeah, but why a pony?
Because ponies, and specifically the toy My Pretty Pony, are "gay" (in the offensive childish playground meaning of that word.) But that's the joke - that liberals who want Bush's numbers to keep falling are girlie men, and the big strong conservatives who make fun of them think a suitable present for them (when Bush's numbers fall) would be the "gayest" toy of all time: My Pretty Pony. Except it was all just a joke so instead of being a bad thing it has now been embraced as a good thing by the liberals who pretend to really want such a present.
At least that's how I always read it. Maybe that toy is a generational thing. It's all about the toy.
