A follow-up to material posted originally on "Daily Illustrated Nonsense", with the original list of almost 100 anagrams summarized initially HERE. Additional funky anagrams sorted by topic were subsequently posted HERE. And what you have here today is the final emanation ...
First, a few reminders:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: An important book describing the administration of the White House under the forty-fifth President was released for publication. The book, entitled "A Very Stable Genius", is the result of extensive reporting by two Pulitzer-prize winning journalists. The phrase used for the title derives from a description by the President himself, estimating his own mental abilities.
ANAGRAMS are phrases composed by rearrangement of the 17 letters of the original.
In this case, the 17 letters of each new phrase must include:
E E E
A A
S S
V R Y T B L G N I U.
The meaning of the resultant new phrases are, not surprisingly, sometimes in keeping with the tone suggested by the original title, but are often directly in opposition, and may even fly off and explore new tangents. They are best imagined, in this case, as further utterances by the book’s protagonist, as asides by the authors, or as comments by startled readers.
The editors have concocted innumerable possibilities, and selected almost 100 of the most intriguing anagrams for your enjoyment. Our experience suggests that the phrase “A VERY STABLE GENIUS” is a unique mother-lode for such wordplay; there are thousands of results, but most defy logical interpretation.

In the follow-up post, we added to the list more than 100 additional funky anagrams, all involving the same combination of letters as the original book title. And with the present effort, we give our final gasp to this endeavour (after displaying a total of 300 or so anagrammatic variations)!
And now, our poetic tribute:
Finally, our ultimate anagrammatic emanations on this topic:
