Thats why, this election season, I am following my conservative principles and supporting a leader with a real vision for Gondor: the Lord of Barad-dûr, the Lord of Angband, Gorthaur, known to the electorate as Sauron the Great.

Thanks for posting that. But, "Gorthaur"? Is that name in _The Silmarillion_?
I don't recall encountering it before.
/The History of Middle Earth Index/ shows it occurring in Vol XI as
the Sindarin name of Sauron, replacing the Noldorin Gorthu .
So, the author being quoted is ... a Sinda.
