We're once more in an election year. Unfortunately, the candidates will be dividing the country again which means that this poem will resonate with some but will still most likely really annoy at least 50% of the people who read it. Every verse in this poem was written in response to something in the news that day.
By the way, I served in the military and love my country; I am a veteran; I support our troops in Iraq and throughout the world. Our grandson lost his life serving his country while on active duty in the U.S. military. The White House inference that someone is less than patriotic or un-American or further not being supportive of our military if he or she is in any way critical of our government and their conduct of this war is both repugnant and unconscionable!
Rosemarie and I have been reflecting on some of the issues that are important to us. They are:
1) The Economy and Jobs, 2) Individual and Civil Rights, 3) Special Interest Group Agendas, 4) Honesty in Government, 5) Child Abuse, 6) Threats To The World (from North Korea, Iran, China, Russia, the United States, Terrorism and AIDS), 7) The Environment (especially Global Thermal Warming, Species Extinction, Industrial Pollution, Ozone Layer Depletion, Acid Rain, Deforestation and the Energy Crisis), 8) Gun Control, 9) The Middle East Crisis, 10) Iraq's Occupation and Recovery, 11) Foreign Policy, 12) The Doctrine of First Strike, 13) Oil Diplomacy, 14) Corporate Ethics, 15) Tort Reform, 16) The Medical Insurance System, 17) Drugs, 18) Baby Boomers, 19) Stock Markets, 20) The War On Terrorism, 21) Education, 22) Senior Citizens, 23) Children's Healthcare, 24) Social Security System Survival, 25) Crime, 26) The Courts, 27) Urban Decay, 28) The Homeless, 29) Isolationism, 30) The Rights of Women And Minorities and finally, 31) Prison Systems. Good luck!
Also, please try not to forget while reading this poem that there is always an element of truth in satire!

It's Wolfowitz
against the World,
Pure Paranoia; Flags unfurled;
Bush pushed his brilliant "Rush to War!",
Now no one trusts us anymore!
Sly
Richard Perle, you might suspect,
Was neither shy nor
circumspect;
He
mongered War, and we believe,
The
"Ace of Spades" was up his Sleeve!
So Condoleezza Rice, at best,
Was just as hawkish as the Rest;
Since Paul O'Neill, who wrote the Book,
Says Saddam's Goose was theirs to cook!
They'd
cut those Taxes; pack the Court;
Let Soldiers die and sell us short;
All Halliburton Bids must win;
That Carlyle Group just rakes it in!
Some would-be Veterans make us feel,
John Kerry's Medals were not real;
This White House panders to the Right;
The Deficit grows out of sight!
Tom Ridge, our Homeland, should protect;
Yet Thugs and Drugs get through
unchecked;
Bandar and Abraham know why,
The Price of Gasoline's so high!
Prince Turki speaks Baloney, still,
He
claims this War's colonial;
That
we
invaded to despoil,
Knock-off
Saddam and steal the Oil!
"Let's
Borrow/Spend!”, their
great Delight,
Republicans are always right;
When Greenspan hints this Budget's funny,
Stock Markets tank; John Snow prints Money!
With Nine-Eleven Ads,
Bush gloats;
He "Wags
the Dog" to garner Votes;
Both GOP and NRA,
Would sell us Uzi's anyway!
They've neutralized
the EPA,
And
Christy Whitman's gone, astray;
They'd
drill for Oil or chop down Trees,
Then outsource more; shop overseas!
Karl
Rove advises to a Fault,
This
President he dares exalt;
He's
claimed no Tricks or laying Blame,
Nor
Leaks to Novak splaying Plame!
Sad
Richard Clarke, they'd cauterize,
Accusing
him of wicked Lies;
Attack,
abuse, insult, Bronx Cheer;
"Bushwhack your
Critics! Squelch
them! Smear!"
We're
polarized beyond the Pale;
John Ashcroft wants us all in Jail;
Rod Paige would leave no Child behind;
Scalia hunts! Is Justice blind?
Oh Seniors, Boomers, please don't fret;
They've turned your Surplus into Debt;
You cannot marry if you're gay;
Three million Jobs lost! Let us pray!
Who
did permit those
MP Cops,
Pose Prison Porno Photo Ops,
Or suspend Rights, Guantánamo?
Outrageous Bush-led, Rummy Show!
Yet Bernard Lewis, Scholar, Sage,
Professed
Jihads, Islamic Rage;
Mistreatment in our Jailhouse Thrall;
Has coalesced the
Muslims all!
Gonzales wrote that White House
Brief,
Enabling Abu Ghraib's Grief;
“The Rules Geneva don’t
apply,
To
Terrorists or some damn Spy!"
"Do what you must; we need to
know,
Intelligence has got to flow!";
Interrogators hid I.D.’s,
While G.I.’s did their Bosses please!
Jay Bybee's
Memo set the Tone,
For
Acts of Torture they'd condone;
"You're
not allowed to maim or slay,
But
Dogs and Pain are quite O.K.!"
There were enabling Army Docs,
Who
winked at Crimes in Prison Blocks;
They'd write a Death
Certificate,
To
make the Torture look legit!
General Fay
who's
quite persuasive,
Claims
that Torture was pervasive;
The
Blame, of Course, for all that Pain,
Goes
right straight up the whole damn Chain!
Bush
blew it off as some Miscue,
Caused
by an isolated Few;
Though
he and Rummy can't explain,
Those
eight Ghost Inmates they'd detain!
Jim
Schlesinger declared it's true,
That Abu Ghraib was a
Zoo;
The Truth, indeed, which Bush still dreads,
Has Kerry calling for their Heads!
Don
Rumsfeld's Wiring has come loose,
He keeps on saying, "No
Abuse!";
Contrition though is not his
Style,
Like Bush he's in complete Denial!
Those
Prison Guards will still be tried,
Hung
out to dry or crucified;
As
CIA, the DOD,
And all that Brass, get off
scot-free!
We've found a Shell with Gas,
Sarin;
It
took a Year to sneak it in;
Now
they can flaunt "Mass Weaponry",
How
to explain poor Chaplain Yee!
Nick
Berg’s Death, so tragic, gory,
Must
have more behind the Story;
There’s
Michael Moore’s sad Interview;
Moussaoui
used Berg’s Password too!
Conservatives who
jumped the Gun,
Invaded
Baghdad just for Fun;
Agendas
mean, beyond absurd;
Now
Liberal’s a dirty Word?
This
Bush Crowd always "Stay the Course!",
Without
a Conscience or Remorse;
When
caught, they'll say, "We're unaware!";
"It's
Clinton's Fault!"; "The
Buck Stops There!"
Indeed
this War's an awful Mess,
Pure Agony, chaotic Stress;
Fritz
Hollings penned his Bigot's Views,
Suggesting
that we scapegoat Jews!
Tom Ridge, John Ashcroft spar
and duel,
Then rate Alerts, most dire, so cruel;
They'd elevate this War on Terror,
While Politics compounds their Error!
Insanity or too much Booze,
Why else would someone try to lose?
It seems we'll go to any Length,
To help al-Qaida
grow in
Strength!
The White House thought Chalabi mattered,
Today,
it seems that's all but shattered;
As
Bush's Ratings plummet on,
He's
trapped 'tween News and "NeoCon"!
Brahimi
had to pick and choose,
A
Slate drawn from Iraq's Who’s Who’s;
What
are the Odds that those selected,
Live
long enough to get elected?
Iraq deserves a decent Break,
With much to lose but more at Stake;
Allawi’s got the Brains and Drive,
I hope to God he stays alive!
Democracy for us is King,
But
in
Iraq, it’s not their Thing;
The
Arabs think we're for the Birds,
Perhaps
we've even lost the Kurds!
Zarqawi is that Fiend from Hell,
Who
wants to kill each Infidel;
He
masterminds Insurgency,
Then sets off Bombs relentlessly!
Of Arab Terrorists it’s said,
“They love to kidnap and behead!”
There’s no nice Way to stop, rebuke them,
Oh, what the Hay, let’s go and “Nuke ‘em!”
Those Shi'ites dig this al-Sadr,
Who cranks out Mayhem quite severe;
Apparently he’d sell his Soul,
To oust the Yanks and take Control!
He’s vowed Resistance until
Death,
With Troops who must be high on Meth;
In Najaf, near their
holy Shrine,
Sadr is "where the
Sun don’t Shine"!
Revolting
Sadr takes his Toll,
Iraq’s "Destruction" is his Goal;
Perhaps Bush could a Treaty frame,
"What both Men want is much the same!"
Sadr’s Militia fled the Shrine,
Sistani did the Deal define;
Beware a Mullah and his Gift,
Their Moods are like those Sands that shift!
Ironic, yes, yet no
Surprise,
If Bush should get a Nobel Prize;
For
after all, he's bucked the Trends,
Made
Sunnis/Shi'ites best of Friends!
Bush
"Vulcans" have such Iron Wills,
Think U.S. Power cures all Ills;
With "Sacred Values" to be spread,
They never really plan ahead!
Ignore Allies; just use your
Gut,
Attack Iraq and kick some Butt;
'Tis sad that no one's realized,
That we too could be "vulcanized"!
Those “Neocons” like Wolfowitz,
Or
Woolsey, Perle are just the Pits;
Wohlstetter
trained such nasty Men;
Their Hero's Dr. Strangelove then?
If damn Saddam had never been,
There'd be no War nor our Chagrin;
Now that this Heel is in the Dock,
He'll feel the Justice of Iraq!
Poor Old Saddam
lies in his Cell,
And there he’s writing not too
well;
He’d treat Bush to, in pending Ode,
Revenge and Hammurabi’s Code!
Paul Bremer's Team would privatize,
And help Iraq revitalize;
Paul Krugman's charged their Motives “Crony”,
Perhaps it's Krugman who's the "Phony"!
Alladin’s "Desperado" Rage,
Drummed Linda Ronstadt off the Stage;
By Censors, rank and amateur,
Because she mentioned Michael Moore!
That Sandy Berger
is a Jerk,
By taking Secrets Home from Work;
He gave those Crazies ample Cause,
To Kerry paint with "Clinton Flaws"!
The White House leaked this Berger Plot,
And put John Kerry on the Spot;
Just dirty Tricks by any Name,
More Politics! It’s all a Game!
Behind
the Scenes with secret Deals,
Dick
Cheney spins Big Corporate Wheels;
He's militant, so dark, so mean,
This
"F-Word" Man's just too obscene!
Still Cheney's ducked the Draft five times;
Attacks John Kerry’s “Liberal Crimes”,
With Criticisms undeserved;
This Dick's the one who’s never served!
Tom Harkin took some poignant
Shots,
At
Cheney's anti-Kerry Spots;
“Perhaps you People haven't heard,
That Coward got himself
deferred!”
George says he
thinks
he served his "Term",
Which no one really can confirm;
In Vietnam, John hit the Ground,
While Bush's Records can’t be found!
Oh someone’s offered $50 K,
To
anyone with Proof who’d say,
That
Bush served out his full Guard Tour;
A
Reward safe from Claim for sure!
Dick
Cheney says that he's the one,
To
keep
al-Qaida on
the Run;
That
Votes for Kerry-Edwards will,
Encourage
Terrorists to kill!
New
Army Records, we now know,
Prove
Bush to be a "Guard No-Show";
While
Cheney stayed Home snug and smart,
He
never won a Purple Heart!
Oh
Cheney swears this War's quite just,
A
Crusade like some Holy Trust;
Our
"First Strike" right, and yet somehow,
The
World seems much less safer now!
What Ignorance, from Nincompoops,
Who'd start a Fight with too few Troops;
Bob Woodward wrote the Truth, no Doubt;
They've sucked us in! We can't back out!
Yes, Bush and Blair are much the Same,
They’re never wrong; they have no Shame;
But what of those who lose their Lives,
Who tells the Parents, Children, Wives?
They'll try to blame the CIA,
"Bad Information all the Way!"
There's still one Thing we know for Certain,
Bush was the Man behind the Curtain!
“Commission
Nine-Eleven’s” View,
Was Iran
passed al-Qaida
through;
The Truth be known, I must confess,
“We slammed Saddam for much, much Less!”
The Commission did the Facts provide,
As to who’s at Fault, they can't decide;
On one Thing, though, they did decree,
"The U.S. failed
the Threat to see!"
The Nine-Eleven Study's done,
If
George has even read Page One;
They
would Departments realign,
But
Cheney did not give the Sign!
They'd
like a "Czar" with Expertise,
To
oversee all Agencies;
Still
Rumsfeld won't the Changes bless,
With
Congress, Bush both in Recess!
It was indeed George Bush’s Sin,
He waged a War he could not win;
While Cheney, Rumsfeld ran the Show,
Why didn’t Powell just say, “No!”?
Bush Campaign Ads lend their shrill Voice,
“McCain At First Was Kerry’s Choice!”;
Please God, we hear the next Refrain,
“Bush Dumps Dick Cheney, Takes McCain!”
Some Right Wing Vets with
baseless Spam,
Have
challenged
Kerry’s Vietnam;
McCain says that they're Cads and Liars,
Bush still loves their Ads and Flyers!
They've even got that old Bob
Dole,
To
crawl right into Bush’s Hole;
Republicans
who won't play straight,
Just “Character Assassinate”!
It's all a Part of Karl Rove's Plan,
"Our
Bush and Cheney Hatchet Man!",
They sent Dole in to Kerry bash,
I
wonder if they paid him Cash!
We'd always thought that Dole had Class,
Instead he’s into Smear, alas;
If he believes the Stuff he's said,
"That damn Viagra's in his Head!"
The GOP finds Surrogates,
Who
drive Opponents into Fits;
Soft
Money Ads use Hate, intense,
While
Bush protests his Innocence!
Bush says the Ads should finally
end,
Since George is now McCain’s best Friend;
Still they won't nail those Swift-boat Guys,
For smearing Kerry with their Lies!
His White House Pals went on their Spree,
And slandered Kerry mercilessly;
Bush knows the Damage they have done,
Yet he now plays the noble one!
Bush Lawyer, Ginsberg, quite unfair,
Advised "Swift-boaties au contraire";
This West Wing Linkage horrifies,
How ‘bout it George, “Apologize!”
A Swift-boat Captain testified,
That
Bush’s “Swift-boat Pit Bulls”
lied,
And none of them with Kerry served;
"John's
Silver Star was most deserved!"
Lee
Atwater taught Rove the Trick,
That
slinging Mud does really stick;
“People
buy what Assassins say,
Just keep your Boss above the
Fray!
Then have your Henchmen on the Lurk,
And let them do your nasty Work!”;
They’ll lie, attack and Folks demean,
So Bush can look like Mr. Clean!
Republicans
turned up the Heat,
With Dirty Tricks and raw red Meat;
Their mean Campaign is
being aired,
It
looks as if they’re getting scared!
There’s nothing Bush won’t do
or say,
To win the Vote Election Day,
Though he must think we’re dumb or blind;
With our Luck he’ll bin-Laden find!
Oh
Bush’s Ads are all designed,
To hide the Facts and cloud your Mind;
Jobs, Oil and War; Truth, Trust and Fear,
He’s screwed it up! That’s very clear!
Bush
redefines "Conservative":
1) Big Government has much to give!
2) Jobs Overseas and Spending's swell!
3) The Environment can go to Hell!
In "Right To Life" Hoax, if you
please,
Bush
mixed up "Fetus" with "Feces";
I
must admit Bush knows his Dungs,
Besides
his Daughter speaks in Tongues!
Old Dubya is so pickable,
Because
he is despicable;
He
malaprops and mangles Words,
And
puts Gump's “Choc’late on them Turds”!
Ron
Reagan pled the Stem Cell Cause,
Dems cheered him on to much Applause;
The GOP's don't
understand,
Their Brain Stem Cells are pounding Sand!
Now Laura Bush will give a Talk,
Defending George's Stem Cell Balk;
The Research is to help Mankind,
But
Bush won't keep an open Mind!
A Right Wing Newsman in her Face,
Kept firing Salvos, rapid Pace;
So
Kerry Heinz, don’t you love it,
Tells the Guy to go and shove it!
“Oh Life's just rosy!”, they'll portray,
But new Bush Jobs are low in Pay;
"Tax Cut and Spend!”, they're so hell-bent,
“Bushnomics” for the Affluent!
Bush Campaign Rhetoric
to Date,
Is loaded with Fear, Rage and
Hate;
They'll lie, renege, their
Promise
break,
Then cover-up each damn
Mistake!
Budget Shortfalls show Bush feckless,
Not too bright or even reckless,
With Red Ink Forecasts getting worse;
“He's put our Engines in Reverse!"
“Oh cut more Taxes not Expense!”,
Supply Side Mantras make no Sense;
Bush has us in a State, Nonplus,
Now
we too work like Sisyphus!
Bush pushed our Workers
out the
Door,
And
found Replacements, cheap, Offshore;
His
Healthcare Costs shot through the Roof,
So
full-time Jobs remain aloof!
Zero Growth’s a Bush Maneuver,
Dubya’s Hero’s Herbert Hoover;
"We're
Doing Better!” is their Tune,
“Good Times are coming very soon!”
Republicans and Laws they’ll
pass,
May
just destroy the Middle Class;
Right Wing Values, Bush is guarding,
Make him worse than Warren Harding!
Bush/Cheney stump with old
Clichés,
And
say the Dems would Taxes raise,
That
Kerry could our Troops impair;
Good Grief, they covet Edwards' Hair!
Today those Pollsters did announce,
There's been no Post-Convention Bounce;
While Kerry/Bush won’t give an Inch,
Ralph Nader hopes to be their Grinch!
No Candidate tries to explain,
Our Deficits; Iraq's great Pain;
Bush “turns the Corner” everyday,
And Kerry’s “Help is on the Way”!
Some Terror Info three years old,
Let
Ridge his High Alert uphold;
Though specious, Politics, first Glance,
We
still can't dare to take a Chance!
To escalate those
damn Alerts,
They'll
just cry Wolf until it hurts;
If Terrorists attack, assault,
I'll bet Bush says, "It's Kerry’s Fault!"
Beshadowed Cheney lies
in Wait,
Bush has his perfect Running Mate;
We’ve heard their Bull Shit all along,
Just once can’t they admit they’re
wrong!
And, of course, with sincere apologies
to the "Sirs Gilbert and
Sullivan":
Ridge
uses Fear,
Hyperbole,
Which threatens our Tranquility,
If
real or hypothetical,
With Warnings apathetical!
To Iraq we’re like "Darth
Vader",
Foreigners; their new Invader;
Our
Quagmire's no big Mystery,
Bush has not learned from History!
From Maryland chutes Alan Keyes,
A Carpetbagger with
Degrees;
Obama's on to Bush's Ploy,
Watch Barack win in Illinois
Oh Alan Keyes has fired his
Missile,
Abortion, Gays, he’d blow, the Whistle;
So please, Barack, send Al some
Tissues,
Truth, Jobs and War are still the
Issues!
Still Keyes says Barack's
so
egregious,
"He'd never get a Vote
from Jesus!"
I
don’t know Alan if you’ve heard,
But Jesus is not
registered!
These
Delegates whose Record shows,
All
Urban Issues they’d oppose;
With
anti-Women, racist Views,
You’d
think they’d Crawford, Texas choose!
The Saudis bought the Bushes
Gifts,
Perhaps to soothe our latest Rifts;
But Gold and Diamonds meant to spoil,
Will make us pay in Blood for Oil!
Chalabi’s Warrant’s made a Splash,
It seems he’s printed phony Cash;
His Nephew’s charged with Murder too,
Two White House Cronies tried and true!
Although some say he is a Crook,
They
let Chalabi off the Hook;
Lott’s
Buddy and Irani Spy,
Is
now Sistani’s favorite Guy!
The
CIA got its new Boss,
A "Skull & Bones" named Porter
Goss;
Would Bush have dared this Man promote,
If not for Goss' Home State Vote?
A Hurricane’s sad Aftermath,
Left much Destruction in its Path,
With Federal Funds and well-aimed Quotes,
Old
George went there to get more Votes!
Jeb's
hassling older Blacks again,
That's
how they won their last Campaign;
With
Chadless Screens that can't be checked,
He'd
help his Bubba reelect!
Disinformation is the Key,
To Bush’s Campaign Strategy;
They'll own the Polls Election Day,
If they can keep the Blacks away!
Still
Bush supports those Charter Schools,
And
plays us all for utter Fools;
While
Education's expert Vetter,
Says,"Kids
in Public Schools do
better!"
Why do we pussyfoot Sadr,
The
Guy’s a Punk, so what's to fear,
Like
they won’t love us anymore;
You'd think
Bush
tries to lose this War!
Bush
said he'd move our Troops around,
One
more Diversion to confound;
When News is bad or
something's strange,
This Guy just makes a Subject change!
They want our Troops to redeploy,
Which
would Allies upset, annoy;
Security
could take the Fall,
From
Bush's "Premature Withdrawal"!
In Crawford, Texas yesterday,
Max
Clelend just got rolled away;
Hey, George what is it that you fear,
He
only wants to stop the Smear!
When good Max tried the Man
to see,
To
give a letter, make his Plea;
“Go someplace else to take your
Spin!,
You
and your Wheelchair can’t come in!”
They pushed more Tax Breaks for the Rich,
Then grew our Debt at Fever Pitch;
The Middle-Class got squeezed for Free,
By this "amBushed" Economy!
Oh
Millions more in Poverty,
Since first we heard of
Bush/Cheney;
They've done much better for their own,
That wealthy, elite, comfort Zone!
Republicans seem unaware,
Too many Folks have no
Healthcare;
These GOP’s stay self-assured,
But
that's because they’re all insured!
Yet Healthcare and Prescription Drugs,
Were swept beneath the White House Rugs;
Both Congress, Bush could give a Damn,
They've got their "Lifetime Coverage" Scam!
Oh Healthcare Costs are overblown,
They’ve,
Double Digit, each Year, grown;
Bush
says he’s got "the perfect Plan",
Where
has Bush been since he began?
The
Trade Gap’s at an all-time High,
While OPEC’s Prices hit
the Sky;
Our
Deficit is no Illusion,
Still Bush Folk share the same Delusion!
As GOP Conventions go,
This
one’s a Coronation Show;
So
Liberals "Let The Games Begin!",
Watch
New York roll those Sidewalks in!
Their
Convention in the City,
Built
a Platform not too pretty;
A
frenzied, Far-Right, Ego Trip,
Sales-pitching Bush's Leadership!
Against
Abortion and Gay Marriage,
All
Moderates they'd just disparage;
"More
Guns! Cut Taxes! Keep on Spending!,
This
Bush-led War is never-ending!"
Bush claims he’s best at
fighting Terror,
Yet he's the one who's made the Error;
Our Allies' only gasp or moan,
“How do we do it all alone?”
Bush said this War could not be won,
Oops now he’s says it can be done;
Cheney told him, “George, please stop!”,
Now
who's our Mr. Old Flip Flop?
Oh Rudy’s lost it as we’d feared,
His George Bush Worship’s just plain weird;
These
past four Years have caused such Pain,
“Hello,
where are you John McCain?”
The GOP’s new Nominees,
Have
got us flapping in the Breeze;
Republicans
predictably,
Picked Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle
Dee!
Conventioneers, whose Banners
wave,
For
Stars and Stripes, Home of the Brave;
From
Texas, Maine to Carolina,
And
all
those Flags were made in China!
Dick
Cheney preached his Right Wing Tract,
Zell Miller screeched, all out,
attacked;
Conservatives
too mean for me,
Will
just destroy the GOP!
Why
would the Public swallow, buy,
George
Bush, Dick Cheney or their Lie;
Draft
Dodgers who with Smear and Hate,
Did
Kerry's Service obfuscate!
John
Kerry, please, here’s good Advice,
Take
off the Gloves; stop being nice;
Hit
Bush's Screw-Ups, Mess, Debris,
It’s
Jobs, Healthcare, Economy!
Those Swift-boat Veterans sullied John,
False
Accusations not withdrawn;
A
Texas Group claims Bush dropped out,
His
Air Guard Service still in Doubt!
Oh
Bush keeps whining, looking grim,
Because
some Ads went after him;
To
slander Kerry was OK,
But
now it's coming George’s Way!
Bush
and Cheney, quite the Pair,
"Build
Deficits and spend with Flair!";
To
them "Outsourcing's" not a Threat,
My
God they've got us deep in Debt!
Those
Hurricanes just did their Worst,
Poor
Florida perhaps is cursed;
Bush
pledged $2 Billion towards their Plight,
That
should secure the Vote outright!
One
Thousand dead and climbing higher,
To
get
Saddam, Bush was the Liar;
He
put us in this awful Bind,
And
never will those Weapons find!
The Gun Ban Law’s about to end,
A
Law Bush promised to extend;
So
what if Bush did break his Word,
He's
still the NRA’s Preferred!
Are you
the one who
knows perhaps,
Why
Bush would let that Gun Law lapse;
Now
Terrorists who'd smuggle Gear,
Will
buy their Goddamn Weapons here!
Bush
took more Cops right off the Street,
Mistakes
he's made he'll now repeat;
It’s
Nukes and Drugs, more Deficit,
Yet
no one seems to give a Shit!
In
Baghdad, daily Violence soars,
The
Paper Tiger only roars;
America
is doomed to be,
The
Muslim World's Archenemy!
If
our Armed Forces leave as planned,
I
hope Iraqis understand;
When
our Defense starts running thin,
A
Bloodbath will, of Course, begin!
Iraq’s
indeed "Catch-22",
Damned
if we don’t; damned if we do;
They'd
rather that we'd let them be,
No
one can beat Insurgency!
We
have Iraq destabilized,
Much
more than Bush has realized;
Rebellion,
War still in the Way,
We'll
hold Elections anyway!
Oh
Bush and Rumsfeld just ignored,
The
North Koreans and their Sword;
Bush
Policies in Disarray,
Allowed
these Nukes to come and play!
Without
new Kinds of Energy,
We’ll
never stop Dependency;
We’ve
got ourselves in this Morass,
Because
of Mideast
Oil and Gas!
Those Swift-boat Smear Ads, back again,
Are
financed by some oily Men;
Including
Bush Pal, T. Boone Pickens,
Who's
bent on giving John the Dickens!
Oh Novak
challenged
CBS,
To
name
their Sources then confess;
This
pompous, little Hypocrite,
Just
took a "Leak" and bathed in it!
Those
Russians on the old War Path,
Would get Revenge and show their Wrath;
We'll chide Putin's
"Reforms Pullback",
While our Pot calls his Kettle Black!
Bush
urges, Vladimir, hold
on
fast,
To
Democracy and not the Past!";
That’s
got to be some kind of Joke,
As
Bush lets ours go up in Smoke!
Why
didn't Powell just resign,
And give George Bush that needed Sign;
If only Colin stood up tall,
We might not be at War at all!
Bush Supporters
quite obtuse,
Buy
into every lame Excuse;
No
Matter that he’s not astute,
As
long as George looks strong and cute!
Fallujah
is our
worst
Nightmare,
Those
damn Insurgents everywhere;
Civilian
Damage makes them sore,
And
helps them even recruit more!
Oh
Kerry
on the
Campaign Trail,
Just
cannot seem to make a Sale;
While
Bush’s “Problems” are well-known,
John
needs “Solutions” of his own!
The
Polls do show us everyday,
They'd
re-elect Bush anyway;
Incompetence
by Bush persists,
How
can we be such Masochists?
Oh
Scott McClellan plays the Role,
His
Game’s Attack and Spin Control;
He’ll
hem and haw to Bush Protect,
Those
Barbs and Arrows just Deflect!
If
Bush is guilty of a Charge,
Scott
will deny it, by and large,
More
partisan than sinister;
Our
“Propaganda Minister”!
It
looks like CBS got duped,
‘Cause
Dan would rather not be scooped;
The
Paper Trail appeared too new,
But
still his Comments were all true!
Dan Rather has apologized,
For
Documents deemed "synthesized";
Some
Questions, though, are still quite fair,
George,
if you served, "Just how, when, where?"
Dick
Thornburgh would investigate,
Both
CBS and Rathergate;
To
find a Sham or Forgery,
Who
cares if Bush served properly!
Oh
Thornburgh should just check the Trade,
Bush
claimed was Niger Weapons Grade;
His
Evidence, although quite fake,
Made
Saddam eat that “Yellowcake”!
Why can’t more People realize,
That Bush makes Kerry’s Truths seem Lies,
With Repetition and Attacks;
He then makes Lies look like they're Facts!
Family
Values,
notwithstanding,
This Moral Right’s just too demanding;
Their Prejudices could corrode,
A Nation ready to implode!
Hagel,
Lugar
and McCain,
Have criticized George Bush again,
About his Conduct of this War;
It’s nice to hear some Truth once more!
Three Senators Republican,
In Conflict with the White House Spin,
Are saying now that Bush was wrong;
But we have known that all along!
Oh Bush just made a U.N. Speech,
Their
Help, Approval to beseech;
No
Weapons found in his Report,
"A Day Late And A
Dollar
Short!"
They
sent
Cat
Stevens Home quite pissed,
It
seems he's made our "No-Fly List";
His
Hamas Ties,
we all
suppose,
Got
Kitty Litter up his Nose!
Allawi
rushed to Bush's Side,
To
prove to Congress they're allied;
He
made Things sound so very nice,
You'd
think Iraq's a Paradise!
Dick
Cheney in a solemn Voice,
Says
“Kerry is al-Qaida’s Choice!”;
Mendacious,
nasty, by Design,
He
used a Josef Goebbels Line!
How
many People will be killed,
Before
our Death Wish is fulfilled;
Now
go tell it, to the Marines,
“That
Bush Ends justify Bush Means!”
I
wonder if November 3rd,
Old
Rummy really keeps his Word;
On
TV he just slyly laughed,
“We'd
never reinstate the Draft!”
We’re
in Iraq without good Cause,
Still
breaking, though, the Muslim Laws;
Iraqis,
all, can now agree,
We
are
their "Common Enemy"!
Musharraf
said, "Iraq's
perverse!”,
“And
Palestine is even worse!";
We’ve bitten more than we can chew,
Now
Muslims hate us, sad but true!
An
artful Bush dares
not offend us,
Still
Powell states, "Iraq’s horrendous!";
It's
Mayhem, Slaughter every Day,
George
speaks
and acts like all's OK!
They'll hold Elections as they've planned,
Yet
Bush just does not understand;
"With
more Insurgents at their Throat,
These
People are not free to Vote!"
Abdullah set the Record straight,
“Iraq’s in such a sorry State,
Of Chaos, Murder, Insurrection;
They just can't have a fair Election!”
What will Bush use as
his
Pretext,
If Syria, Iran are
next;
You
know he’ll never stay content,
To
be some Peacetime President!
We’ll
arm Taiwan with Missiles, great,
At
China aimed
across the Strait;
Disaster
is our Policy,
Could
Bush be thinking World War III?
Bush
stood upon that Navy Deck,
“Mission Accomplished! What the Heck!";
The
sad Thing, though, George did deny,
“So
many still would have to die!”
Bush swore this
War would be Slam/Dunk,
That Kerry’s Medals were just Junk;
It doesn’t take some kind of Sleuth,
To know who really tells the Truth!
Does Bush or Cheney realize,
That
Citizens may criticize,
Their
Politicians and what they do,
And
still be Patriotic too?
Could any old TV Debate,
Seal
either Bush or Kerry’s Fate;
Though Pundits, Spin Docs all
agree,
Their
Candidates won handily!
John’s
Intellect did take First Prize,
Yet
Bush’s Smirk was no Surprise;
We
will not know till Votes are in,
Which
Uncommitted’s bought whose Spin!
A Neighbor’s Sign did just appear,
Too
bad
the Words, no one can hear;
But if we could, I know they’d shout,
“SUPPORT
OUR TROOPS AND
VOTE BUSH OUT!”
Bush
rags on France for holding back,
Not
joining in his War, Attack!
Kerry’s
French has poor George freaking,
Guess
whose English needs critiquing!
Don
Rumsfeld says “I did not think,
Iraq/al-Qaida
had a Link!”;
“It’s
too late now,” he should have said,
"To
end this War; bring back the Dead!”
Iraqi Tubes, the World was shown,
Were
harmless and Ms. Rice had known;
Bush
lied that Saddam built “The Bomb”,
So
now Iraq’s a Vietnam!
That damn Obsession with
Saddam,
Has
got us in this awful Jam;
bin-Laden
bombed the USA,
It's Bush who let him get
away!
John Edwards won last Night's Debate,
And truly set the Record straight;
But when he blasted War and Debt,
Dick Cheney said they'd never met!
Although there was no Weapons Site,
Bush
still insists that he was right;
Invasion
he’ll now justify,
With
“Oil-For-Food” the Reason why!
Charles
Duelfer said, “No Weapons Horde!”,
A
Fact Bush/Cheney plain ignored;
Bush
won’t admit Mistakes he's made,
Such
Arrogance; we’ve been betrayed!
Oh Bush
has really gone too far,
This
President who thinks he's Czar;
He
went to War and used “First Strike”,
I
truly wish he’d take a Hike!
The Lady
asked,
“What three Mistakes?”,
And
Bush said, “Whatever it takes!”;
No
Need for Candor in this Race,
So
George just panders to his Base!
Last Night’s Debate did
really show,
That Bush is like Pinocchio;
No Lumber Mills; misunderstood;
He bends the Truth; we knew he “Wood”!
Our Surplus
spent; Oil Prices soar,
Bush
lied and lies about his War;
He’s
cost us Jobs; he's lost more Lives,
We
can't believe this Jerk survives!
“Conservative,
Compassionate!”,
We've never heard such stupid Shit;
With
Bush and Cheney so derisive,
They're
selfish, mean and too divisive!
Oh Rumsfeld’s
in Iraq
today,
To see first-hand the
great Display;
With
Flowers, Music, quite a Lark,
Just
one big Picnic in the Park!
“Gas Prices down! The
Yankees won!
Bin-Laden’s dead! The War is done!
No
Unemployed! Check’s in the Mail!”
Beware a George Bush
Fairy Tale!
This third Debate was
really fun,
Now
that we know John Kerry won;
All
Bush could do was throw Insults,
It’s Kerry who’d produce
Results!
Bush
had his Chance these past four Years,
But all he’s done is raise
more Fears;
George
squandered Credibility,
"It's
all about Integrity!"
Accomplishments
by Bush are sparse,
So
all he does is Kerry parse;
While
John on Issues is quite right,
George
bares his Fangs with each "Sound Bite"!
The White House
zapped the New York Times,
For
telling Truth or Liberal Crimes;
Why
else would Bush be so contrary,
Perhaps
it's 'cause they favored Kerry!
“Kill
or be killed!”, the White House Style,
"All Critics bludgeoned with a Smile!";
Without
a Doubt, Bush did transgress,
He'd
even dare the Press suppress!
Pat Robertson
was reassured,
That Iraq’s Oil would be secured;
”I'll
get Saddam!”, is what Bush said,
”God’s
on my Side! There'll be no Dead!”
His Deficit just
climbs and waxes,
But
still he'd like to cut more Taxes;
Bush
has such strange Realities,
Too
bad he can't see Casualties!
Good
Things Bush says about Iraq,
Are
nothing but a great big Crock;
According
to the News Report,
His
Puppet’s even lost Support!
Zarqawi does deserve Invective,
But
don't forget Iraq Perspective,
To
us this nasty, Rage Inciter,
Is
their heroic "Freedom Fighter"!
How
many People have to die,
To
satisfy each new Bush Lie;
George
tries to throw a “Kerry Scare”,
But
he’s the one who got us there!
So
why should anyone believe,
That
he’s the best to Pain relieve;
Bush
screws up everything he’s done,
Please
tell us when we’re having Fun!
Bush
buys those
Special Interest Groups,
By
jumping through more Tax Bill Hoops;
McCain
and Kerry both said Nay,
Another "George Bush Giveaway"!
Before
Elections, just in Time,
For Cheney, Bush and Corporate Slime;
Influence Peddling at its Best,
Just helps them fill their Campaign Chest!
This
Administration, mean,
Caused
Shortages of Flu Vaccine;
A
Blameless Bush will, like as not,
At
Kerry/Edwards, take a Shot!
The
CDC says that the Flu,
Will
Billions cost before we’re through;
For high risk Folks, they’ll say, “Who cares?”,
As long as Congress all got theirs!
Iraq’s Explosives went AWOL,
Now Bush blames Kerry for it all;
Wild
Deficits;
relentless Stress,
Healthcare; lost Jobs; the whole damn Mess!
If "Fear and Smear"
should help Bush win,
The
Fun and Games would just begin;
He’d
pack the Courts; Roe v. Wade trash,
Attack
Iran; spend lots of Cash!
Jimmy Carter swears to Heaven,
That
Bush exploited Nine-Eleven;
Just
Politics, perhaps for Gain,
Diversion
from his awful Reign!
How incompetent must
Bush be,
Before
the Voters all can see,
That
being stubborn is not strong,
Or
that this Man’s been very wrong!
How can you be a George
Bush Booster,
He's
got the Hubris of a Rooster;
A
good old Boy, who thinks he’s with it,
To
half of us, he’s still a Bigot!
George has
his Handlers up most Nights,
Misquoting
Kerry in Sound Bytes;
Though
Bush Successes miniscule,
He
sure does like to ridicule!
Oh Bush and Cheney changed the Mix,
Surpassing
Nixon’s “Dirty Tricks”;
“Double,
Bubble, Toil and Trouble!”,
Why
are we so damn gullible?
Bush says that Bulge was just his Shirt,
And
not a Thing to stay alert;
Remote
Control; Ventriloquist,
A
Prompter’s Prod, could top my List!
The Ambush where those
Guards were killed,
Zarqawi
claimed the Blood that spilled;
Allawi's
made a great big Fuss,
And
now it seems he’s blaming us!
We’re in this War that never ends,
A
Place where Enemies are Friends;
So
many die; it’s really sad,
The
World still thinks that we're just bad!
Bush wants to spread Democracy,
Yet
has no “Exit Strategy”;
It
is indeed a Tragedy,
While
we're all trapped, bin-Laden’s free!
Explosives
in Iraq not there,
Caught Bush and Cheney unaware;
Though
Kerry's right, these two will bitch,
They
both were sleeping at the Switch!
Oh Giuliani
jumped right in,
Defending his
good Friend again;
To
shield Bush from “Explosive
Shame”,
He
said, “Our Troops were most
to blame!
I
wonder what would Rudy want,
To make him play the Dilettante;
Perhaps some cushy Federal Post,
Won't happen though if "Bush
is
Toast"!
Dick
claims it’s just a “Kerry Twist”,
“That Ammo Cache did
not exist!”;
Hey
Cheney, “How’s your Power Trip?”,
“Keep telling Lies! You've
lost your Grip!”
In Florida, as we had feared,
It seems mailed Ballots disappeared;
Somehow
we think we smell a Skunk,
If
I were you, I'd check Jeb's Trunk!
Twenty
Thousand Applicants,
For
Unemployment, represents,
Another
Bush disastrous Week;
I'm
sure we'll hear George Doublespeak!
Bush
said, "If someone ignores Facts,
Or
without Cause, complains, attacks,
Then
he’s unfit for President!";
Hey
George, you've set the Precedent!
"Who
said Saddam had nasty Bombs?",
"Who
said they'd greet with open Arms?",
"Who's
spent us into Deficit?";
I
guess we all know who's unfit!
Oh
Halliburton/FBI,
Those
No-Bid Contracts, tell us why,
Bush
White House Pals in Oil and Gas,
Got
windfall Profits up the Ass!
And
Al-Jazeera has a Tape,
That shows bin-Laden’s in great Shape;
America
he would address,
Bush
let him get away, I guess!
This latest Tape has proven true,
bin-Laden
favors George Bush too;
Incompetence
and Disrepute,
Both
help al-Qaida to recruit!
To "Stay the Course!" may not
be wise,
While
listening to George Bush’s Lies;
A
Change is needed after all,
"When
headed o'er that Waterfall!"
If Right Wing Crazies get their Way,
We'll
have to do much more than Pray;
A
Bush Win is a Bush Mandate,
Perhaps
it's Time to emigrate!
Bush White House
Patriots
and such,
Are
wild-eyed Zealots out of Touch;
Old Glory-draped and then they can,
"Still think they're more
American!"
They've strategized in Bits and
Bites,
To take away your basic Rights;
Should you object, they'll just stonewall,
It's their Way Folks or not at all!
But all these Things that Bush has blown,
Are all because of
them alone;
Still Hughes or Card will spin those Stats,
And pin it on the Democrats!
To dump Bush/Cheney this November,
Get out the Vote, but please remember,
Because Air Force One's got two Right Wings,
Ain't over till the "Fat Lady"
sings!
And for all the Paranoids and
"Conspiracy
Theorists" among us:
If
they don’t win Election Day,
"CODE RED"
will be Tom Ridge's Play;
Naïveté,
would be our Flaw,
When
Bush proclaims it Martial Law!
Please help me Lord to
understand,
How
bad Guys gained the upper Hand;
With
Lies and War; the Deficit,
Jobs
Lost, what’s more, a Nation split!
We
just can’t fathom “Bush Appeal”,
It’s
so bizarre, almost surreal;
I
guess we like to be misled,
Americans
must be brain-dead!
Terror-Phobic, Religious Right,
The Rich, Low Taxes, mostly White;
Pro-Gun,
Pro-Life or the
above,
Most
likely you, Bush/Cheney, love!
Economy,
Environment,
Pro-Choice, the War, the Truth, Dissent;
The
Middle Class, Old
or Retired,
The
Folks who'd
love to see George fired!
We're
now divided down the Middle,
Yet
who prevails is still a Riddle;
The
next four Years, it’s Friend or Foe,
But
half will say, “I told you so!”
This
Year's Election's just the Worst,
Our
Nation is about to burst;
While
half of us would celebrate,
The
Rest will still commiserate!
The Morning After has me
scared,
When
all Results are finally aired;
Whoever
wins will be star-crossed,
O'er
Land divided, sad and lost!
The
Electoral College calls the Shot,
To
tell us who and who is not;
This
Race for President’s now done,
You
still can lose if you have won!
Some People think that it’s not fair,
To
make the big and small States square;
It’s
never ever misconstrued,
Unless
it’s your Guy who got screwed!
The Country’s
hanging in Suspense,
We just
don't have much Common Sense;
John
Kerry has no Chance to rule,
While
George Bush is the bigger Fool!
This
House and Senate won't allow,
John
Kerry to succeed nohow;
And
Bush who never takes the Blame,
Would
stick it to us just the Same!
If
Kerry's in, he'll get the Mess,
That
Bush did make, with this Congress;
It's
so much worse than it appears,
It
can't be fixed in four short Years!
So
please get even, set Things square,
And
vote for Bush; it's only fair;
For
George deserves the Heart Attack,
He
put this Country on the Rack!
Let's
reelect
him, though it hurts,
Then
Bush can get his just Desserts;
His
Legacy’s “not worth a Dime”,
"And
will not stand the Test of Time!”
Oh
no one knows with Certainty,
What happens to Democracy;
Both in Iraq and here as well,
If four more Years of "Bush-league Hell"!
It's
been a
long and bitter Fight,
I
hope to God that we were right;
Americans
have had their Say,
Democracy
is still the Way!
Election's done; it’s in the Past,
The
Process works; the Votes are cast;
Now
George has won the whole Event,
And
made this Poem irrelevant!
Part II: The
Next Four
Years!
Election finished;
Votes are in,
It
looks as if George Bush did win;
Ohio’s
where he took his Lead,
Now
Kerry really can concede!
Those Red States gave Bush Victory,
The Blues and us, a Mystery;
While Bush Folks were so energized,
They had us split and polarized!
Bush gloats a "Mandate"
after all,
It’s his Agenda and his Call;
"Tax Cuts, more War, Job
Misery,
And Roe v. Wade is History!"
Frist
said he’d reach across the Aisle,
Albeit
in his Bludgeon Style;
Watch
Arlen Specter get the Sack,
He
would not be their Pro-Life Hack!
Oh Specter buckled, "I'll be good,
And
pass Appointments like I should;
If
Filibusters or such Tools,
Get
in my Way, I'll change the Rules!"
Still
Bush flushed out his Cabinet,
All Moderates
gone, without Regret;
There
is no Question of Intent,
We’ve
all known George can’t stand Dissent!
His Cabinet he'd rearrange,
It's
really not so
very strange;
At first, I'd thought, "Expedience",
We now know it's "Obedience!"
In
Bush's World, there's just his Way,
So half of us will have no Say;
Our Constitution they'd abase,
While "Check and Balance" has no
Place!
First
Ashcroft said that he was through,
Then
Powell, Paige and Spencer too;
As
Resignations ebb and flow,
There’s
no one left to tell Bush, “No!”
Oh Armitage and Ridge must go,
The Next in Bush's Shuffle Show;
It looks like Cheney got his Way,
Just
Neocons and Yes Men stay!
Now Colin’s gone and Bush picked Rice,
Seems Loyalty has paid the Price;
Diplomacy will be with Sword,
Both here at Home or Lands abroad!
Yet Cheney
never takes a Chance,
Surrounds
old George with Sycophants;
They
help Dick get his Case across,
Then
Bush can act like he's the Boss!
Evangelists
would take the Stand,
That
their George Bush is God's "Right Hand";
Debate
about that Hand could linger,
But
George, at
Least, deserves "The Finger!"
An
Iraqi, wounded, is quite dead,
Some
Soldier shot him in the Head;
Unarmed,
no Threat; just on the Floor,
Now
two more Victims of this War!
The CIA,
to our Dismay,
Has
new Defections everyday;
Good
News for Spies and Saboteurs,
"Bush
Honchos are such Amateurs!"
Rush
Limbaugh is that
Bigot Clod,
Who
acts like he's a Gift from God;
A
Demagogue while on the Air,
He pushes Pills and Right-Wing Fare!
In
Florida,
he’s been arraigned,
For
false
Prescriptions, unexplained;
If
he, indeed, should
guilty be,
Old
George might grant
him Amnesty!
Now
Tom DeLay got really spooked,
For
Ethics Stuff, he’s been rebuked;
Though
"Texas Charges" undercut,
They'd
change "The Rules" to save Tom's Butt!
"Indictment" is not ample Cause,
To
leave the House for breaking Laws;
Republicans
would have their Way,
And
keep the likes of Tom DeLay!
Bush
signed his super spending Bill,
Enough to make Al Greenspan ill;
But
there's no Need to
be upset,
Your great, great, Grandkids own the Debt!
DeLay and
Frist who without Pause,
Just passed that
Bill with hidden Clause;
To
Bush it's not of great Concern,
Now
they can see your Tax Return!
Bill
Frist does love to crack the Whip,
He
is "The Boss”
on his tight Ship;
The
Senate Rules, he’d redesign,
Make
sure that all must “toe his Line!”
He’s engineered to get Control,
No
Moderate will have a Role;
This
nasty Man’s downright corrupt,
“Dissenters need not
interrupt!”
Debt Limits, Ceilings, full of Cracks,
This Deficit's our "Babies' Tax";
George
is the all-time "Spending Champ",
And
Congress is his Rubber Stamp!
"Spy
Agency Reforms" are dead,
Republicans
just won't be led;
The
House and Senate dug the Hole,
While
Bush and Cheney lost Control!
Oh
George Bush Folks are self-absorbed,
The
Panel’s Findings they've ignored,
Their
so-called Moral Right Disdain,
Keeps
Victims' Families in such Pain!
Bush
Voters wanted “Values” in,
Vicarious;
they'd watch their Sin;
Abortion,
Gays give them a Fright,
Though
“Blood and Lust” are quite all right!
When
"CSI-Baghdad" does start,
It's
bound to top the Nielsen Chart;
Too
many dead; a Time to grieve,
But
still to most, just “Make Believe!”
The
G.O.P. has gone to War,
They
love to see the Guts and Gore;
More
Violence, less Sympathy,
To
them, perhaps, it's just TV!
Uranium,
enriched, for Bombs,
Could
radiate; set off Alarms;
It
fits into the "Cheney Plan",
So
now Dick can invade Iran!
Although
Pyongyang was on his List,
Diplomacy
did not exist;
If
Bush had bargained with Aplomb,
Perhaps
they'd not have built a Bomb!
It’s
North Korea then Iran,
Or
Syria, Afganistan;
China's
next! Mideastern Bloc!,
Caught
'tween that hard Place and Iraq
There
is no Doubt that we'll go broke,
As
each new War blows up in Smoke;
Their
Bush-claimed Mandate knows no End,
And
we no longer have a Friend!
Dan
Rather has indeed resigned,
Apparently,
on Crow, he’s dined;
About
Guard Service, so absurd,
Perhaps
old George should get the Bird!
"We'll shoot those
Wolves from Planes," Bush said,
"And hunt them down
till they're all dead!",
"Alaska's
there to drill and spoil,
I'll
find someplace to spill the Oil!"
Oh Bush still wants to nuke up Space,
His
macho Bullshit’s a Disgrace;
Canadians
all think we're bad,
This
World’s a Mess; how very sad!
In
Canada, old George did try,
To make Amends; with Friends ally;
These
past four Years, he's thumbed his Nose,
They
just don't like him, I suppose!
Bush owns the Congress, what the Hell,
And
still they won’t reform Intell;
With
Rhetoric so hard and fast,
You'd
might have thought George wants it passed!
Bush
finally signed a
revised Bill,
Which
his Right Wing had tried to kill;
Conservatives
who'd Intell stall,
Could
also use an Overhaul!
So
now
they're putting more Men in,
Extended
Tours, "The Rumsfeld Spin";
Our
Soldiers stay and get the Shaft,
While
Bush has got his “Back Door Draft”!
To call for Kofi’s Head is daft,
Though
“Oil-For-Food” was fraught with Graft;
If
one's
Malfeasance gets you fired,
Then
Bush himself would be retired!
Oh
Thompson warned about the
Flu,
To
Terrorists, he'd give a Clue;
He
said, "I really
don't know why,"
"They
haven't hit our Food Supply!"
When
Tommy Thompson took a Stroll
Our
George could choose Folks he'd control;
So
far Replacements all are Hacks,
Bush
Pals who'd watch each other's Backs!
While
Kerik's new; Rumsfeld
will stay,
George
sticks with those who would
obey;
The
Bush Commandment's Homily,
"Thou
shalt not dare to disagree!"
Now Kerik’s just withdrawn
his Name,
I
guess this Homeland’s not his Game;
With
Books and Taser Stun-Gun Trade,
There’s
too much Money to be made!
The Nine-Eleven
Tragedy,
Suits
Giuliani perfectly;
His
Exploitation really sucks,
And
helps his Firm make Megabucks!
The
Civil Rights Commission
Chair,
Just blasted Bush's Record there;
So does George sit around and pout,
Hell no! He takes the Lady out!
Oh Berry's nettled Presidents,
For
"Racial Issues Hesitance";
Now
George has got them in his Palm,
His
new Chair is an Uncle Tom!
Our GI's bitched, "We
live in Fear!",
"And
Sir, we need more armored Gear!";
What
Rumsfeld said was not worth Squat,
"You
fight a War with what you've got!"
Contractors
claim they could do more,
Protecting Trucks in Bush’s War;
Too many Soldiers met their Fate,
Because
of insufficient Plate!
This
Congress gave George all the Cash,
He
needed for his Iraq
Smash;
His
Planning's bush, inadequate,
And there's no "Humvee Retrofit!"
Oh
Rummy says he's never wrong,
By
talking tough he comes on strong,
Why
is he always so damn rude,
To
Combat Veterans, he has screwed!
I
guess he thinks it's quite OK,
To
sweep these Guys' Complaints away;
Don's
safe and sound and so sanguine,
It's
not his Life that's on the Line!
It should not come as a
Surprise,
That Interest Rates are on
the Rise;
It’s Gas and Oil, the Cost of War,
As all our Jobs just move Offshore!
Cheap Dollars have not helped at all,
The Trade Imbalance will not Fall;
George Bush won't stop his "Spending Spree”,
He’s wasting our Economy!
Oh
Bush perhaps is on the Take,
The
SSI he'd like to break;
George
claims, "It’s going up in Smoke,
In
sixteen Years, the Fund is broke!"
I
wish that he
would realize,
The
Answer’s not to privatize;
To
change this Law is really dumb,
"Stop
spending, George, ad nauseam!"
Saddam’s
Ali is now on Trial,
For
gassing Kurds and Acts most vile;
The
Timing though is still suspect,
I
wonder whom they will elect!
Oh
in Iraq when Soldiers die
The
Pentagon compounds the Lie;
Condolence
Notes to Next of Kin,
Are
each signed by an Autopen!
Impersonal
as this may be,
It’s
all about Efficiency;
Yet
from now on, old Rummy will,
Sign
Letters for those Folks he'd kill!
Now
Bush was named it does appear,
Time
Magazine’s “Man of the Year”,
Coincidence
or Quirk of Fate,
That Hitler won in ’38!
The FBI observed much Pain
Of
those detained in Jails again;
They're
beaten, chained, in Vomit lay,
Abused
and tortured, Night and Day!
Hot
Cigarettes in Prisoners’ Ears,
With
Urine Stains and fecal Smears;
“Interrogators
uncontrolled!”,
The
White House swears they were not told!
They'll probe, of Course, investigate,
Sad
sordid Tales of each Inmate;
Rove
wants to get at all the Facts,
So
he can cover up their Tracks!
Abu Ghraib,
Guantánamo,
"It’s someone else; we didn’t know!",
As
Rumsfeld claims, “I’m not aware!”,
While
Bush and Cheney just don’t care!
Bush
says, "Dear Rummy might seem gruff,
But
that's because his Job's so tough!";
"This is a sweet and decent Guy,
Who
cares about most Men who die!"
Our
World may never understand,
"The
George Bush Concept of Command";
He'll
cause Woes insurmountable,
And
just won't be accountable!
Oh Bush just
said he's cutting Food,
Our
"Aid to Poor" must now conclude;
The
Budget's tight; we need these Funds,
For
building Bombs and buying Guns!
It makes no
Sense to outsource Jobs,
To please
some Bunch of greedy Slobs;
They've
High-Tech, High-Paid redeployed,
So now it's
our
Folks unemployed!
Americans
whose Jobs were lost,
For
short-term Profits, lower Cost;
No Taxes
paid; on Welfare, plus,
The Chinese
never buy from us!
In Mosul where they bombed
our Guys,
The Body
Counts are on the Rise;
Our Leadership stays safe
and smug,
If only we
could “Pull their Plug!”
Old Rummy
journeyed to the Front,
For what
could be a “Save Face” Stunt;
In Mosul he'd advance his
Cause,
Our warm and
toasty Santa Claus!
He told our
Troops that they can win,
Now he's back
safe in Washington;
If
you
believed Don's "tried-and-true",
I’ve
got a
Bridge I’d sell to you!
They've
organized a Mosul
Probe,
It's
"Scrutiny beneath a
Strobe";
The same Guy
looked at Jail Abuse,
Rumsfeld
must have a Screw that’s loose!
Oh they
can drive off-road or drill,
Cut
down more Trees; do what they will;
All
“Laws Protective” George just slammed,
Bush
has our Forests, Wildlife damned!
So Bush and Cheney's Timber Deals,
Allow
for hunting, Snow Mobiles;
Their
Habitat Assault prevails,
This
White House Motto’s “Kill the Whales!”
While Oil
and Gas and Energy,
Donate
more Dough in Fealty;
As
Homage to this Celebration,
Or
Bribes for his Inauguration!
Ms. Antoinette did eat her Cake,
While
Nero fiddled his Mistake;
Some
$40 Million Bucks were spent,
To
coronate this President!
Oh
Rumsfeld, Feith, give me the Frights,
They're
“Cloak and Dagger” Neophytes;
On
their bad Judgment, Bush relies,
He'd
have them lead our Nation's Spies!
Inspector
General Clark
Ervin,
Whose
Honesty has done him in;
Did
HSD
investigate,
And
found it in an awful
State!
He said, "Homeland Security,
Is
one screwed-up Bureaucracy!”;
Because
he dared the Whistle blow,
The
White House quickly let him go!
Just
leave it to
the GOP,
To
redefine Morality;
Our
Congress, in the damn Commode,
Has
watered-down its Ethics
Code!
Their
Members of the House,
perhaps,
Would
shield themselves from Ethics Flaps;
Republicans
who are such Fools ,
Have
now deep-sixed the Watchdog Rules!
Some Things
were better left alone,
But
Bush Guys take Care of their own;
So
Hastert for
his Friend, DeLay,
Has
thrown the
Ethics Book away!
Bush
Judges will
get on the Bench,
He’ll
diss the Germans then the French;
Malpractice
Suits must set a Cap,
He's
made Iraq our “Booby Trap!”
The
Bush
Agenda’s on its Way,
He's
so Pro-Life and Anti-Gay;
Our
Arctic Wildlife’s truly doomed,
Valdez
Oil Spills to be resumed!
Most Detainees won't
have a Trial,
No
Evidence! It's not worthwhile!;
Bush
does not want to let them go,
From
Auschwitz to Guantánamo!
Oh Rumsfeld and the CIA,
Both
asked to throw the Keys away;
For
Inmates they’d forever keep,
No
Doubt they'll put them all to sleep!
This White House hired a
Talk Show Host,
To
tout and sell its "School Compost";
Our
Nation's Trust they would betray,
And
Armstrong Williams shills for Pay!
“Commentators
up for Rent”,
Engaged
to pitch, their sole Intent;
With
Public Funds, Bush bought the Press,
Paid
Advertising, more or less!
Taxpayers’ Money
Bush did use,
To
get his Message on the News;
It’s
Propaganda at its Worst,
We
really should be reimbursed!
"Disinformation's"
Karl Rove's Style,
It's
used to con the Rank and File;
As Bush and Cronies rant and rave,
“The SSI is in the Grave!”
“It
can't survive! It's moribund!",
"We'll
privatize the whole Trust Fund!”;
Our
Seniors take it on the Chin,
Bush
Wall Street Backers rake it in!
Now Dick and George
would like to try,
To
overhaul the SSI;
Into
our Trust Fund they would tap,
While
all they touch still turns to Crap!
Though
Costs and Risks are too damn high,
No
one would dare our George deny;
With
“Crises false”, Rove schemes and taunts,
To help Bush get just what he wants!
Their War in Iraq truly
sucks;
We
have no Armor on our Trucks;
The
Price of Gas is out of Sight;
Why
can’t these Jerks do one Thing right?
The
Bush Agenda you can't see,
Is
hidden by Hyperbole;
George
plays the Game political,
A
Shame he's hypocritical!
Indeed
Bush might exacerbate,
Most
Issues he'd exaggerate;
The
"Iraq Weapons Search" did fail,
A
Crisis faked to no Avail!
Oh Laura Bush does George defend,
And
$40 million that they'll spend;
“Our partying we both do find,
Keeps
Wars,
Tsunamis, out of Mind!"
George
and his Dick have taken Stock,
Of
their Successes in Iraq;
Those
Bombs and Stuff were why we're there,
Means now they'll search most anywhere!
Bush
opened up his Second Front,
By
starting on another Hunt;
He’s
authorized some secret Plan,
To
look for Weapons in Iran!
Non-Lethal
Weapons they’d devise,
Could
catch Insurgents by Surprise;
"First,
Halitosis that would cling,
Then
nasty Bugs to bite and sting!"
"Third,
spraying Aphrodisiacs,
So
they'd be Homophiliacs!";
This
brilliant Plan by Rumsfeld’s Seers,
Makes
Rebels "stinky, itchy Queers!"
Iran
and China, Missiles build,
With
Indignation Rice is filled;
The
Penalty’s a lot of Hooey,
"We’ve
banned all Imports of Chop Suey!"
At
Senate
Hearings to confirm,
The
Lady did not flinch or squirm;
Rice
reaffirmed, through Statements strong,
"That
Bush and she are never wrong!"
Then
Condi swore and
testified,
That
Iraq’s
War was justified;
She
claimed, “We really did prepare!”,
“Insurgents,
though, just won’t play fair!”
He
says he’d be the President,
Of
every U.S. Resident;
But “Bush”
is what it’s all about,
So
half the Country's still shut out!
Despite his
Pledge of Unity,
Bush
screws up with Impunity;
Excuse
us please! We smell a Rat!
And
Cheney talks "right" through his Hat!
His Second Term has just
begun,
You
bet your Life it won't be Fun!
No
Exit Plans! They’ll break their Word!,
So
more GI's will be interred!
He'd
pack the Courts and bend the Laws,
Attack a
Country just because;
Investments
yes! Abortions no!
Bush
Deficits can only grow!
$300 Million Dollars more,
Have
flown right out Iraq's Back Door;
Now
no one knows how it was lost,
Americans
will bear the Cost!
It
looks like Rumsfeld dropped the Ball,
Yet
someone else will take the Fall;
This
White House shows no Common Sense,
They'll
just whitewash Incompetence!
Oh Bush's Doctor Dobson's Job,
Our Military won't Bush
tell,
"That
Things in Iraq are not swell!";
The
Truth though’s under George’s Nose,
All
covered by his “Emperor’s Clothes!”
Myopic Bush
claims there's no Hope,
To
fix that troubled Hubble Scope;
"Besides he spent our extra
Cash,"
"On
his Inauguration Bash!"
Iraq's
Election went OK,
Although
most Sunni's stayed away;
Democracy
has had a Start,
Let's
hope they'll have a "Change of Heart!"
Oh Habeas
Corpus
and such Writs,
Have
been ignored by Bush's Twits;
While
legal Counsel’s been denied,
Inmates
are held but never tried!
Gonzalez
should seem out of Sorts,
For being
chewed
out by the Courts;
The Judge
said, “At
your Prison Sites,
Detainees really do
have
Rights!”
Bush
lauds this “Freedom
in the Bud!”,
It's
not his Turmoil nor his Blood;
The
whole Thing's more than one should ask,
Democracy’s
a nasty Task!
They'll
count the Ballots till they're done,
Though
only Time can tell who’s won;
The
Shi’ia, Sunni, Kurds or Ba’ath,
With
Civil War the Aftermath!
"Asbestos is
a phony Claim!",
"The
Folks exposed should shrink in Shame!";
"Their
Suits are frivolous!", he'll say,
"Why
can’t they simply die away?"
The Shiites want Theocracy,
George
tried to rewrite History
And
blew it to the nth Degree,
This
tribal Land is so diverse,
He's
made a bad Thing much, much worse!
Our Fifth
Estate is up for Sale,
They’re
paid to tell the White House Tale;
George
Bush and Friends all play his Game,
It’s
Propaganda just the same!
Jeff
Gannon was their Right-Wing Plant,
Whose
Questions shilled the "George Bush
Slant";
McClellan's
Ploy was ill-advised,
But
why is anyone surprised?
Conservatives
then dumped Jeff big,
And made him quit his News
Corps
Gig;
Apparently, what caused
the Stink,
"Was that he ran
a Gay-Porn Link!"
The
"Patriot Act"
will be renewed,
So
Bush Detainees still get screwed;
Abuse
and Torture redeployed,
Our
Constitution's null and void!
When
North Korea gives us Lip,
George
Bush responds with Brinksmanship;
He’s
cutting off their Income Stream,
God
knows their Nukes are not a Dream!
George
then
sent Threats to Iran too,
Our
Spy
Planes droning out his View;
Iran
has warned if we attack,
That
they’re prepared to burn us back!
Now
Syria
is on their List,
And
George once more has clenched his Fist;
Still
Condi Rice won't be deterred,
Diplomacy's
a dirty Word!
Oh
Billions here and Billions there,
These
Spendthrifts really just don’t care;
A
balanced Budget cannot be,
With
Rumsfeld, Bush or Dick Cheney!
Bush
went to Europe seeking Friends,
Perhaps
he'll try to make Amends;
This
Time he'd make a nice Impact,
By sucking up to Jacques Chirac!
Our
ex-Allies think he’s the Man,
Who’d
start a War without a Plan;
At
first George told them, “Go
pound Sand!”,
But
now he’s there with “Hat
in
Hand!”
Another
'Swift-boat Pit Bull' Ruse,
Unleashes
Lies and more Abuse;
They
now say AARP's Gay,
Diversion
helps George get his Way!
Why
can’t this
White House disavow,
Mean
‘Karl Rove Tactics’, please, somehow;
These
‘Smear Campaigns’ drive us berserk,
It's
how Bush does his dirty Work!
Self-Bombers still will
take a Toll,
Civilians,
Soldiers are their Goal;
Insurgents’
Weapons nonetheless,
Destabilize
the World, I guess!
This
past Election, Shiites won,
While
Sunnis did the Ballots shun;
Yet
in Iraq, we have
concurred,
Democracy
is just a Word!
His
secret CIA Accord,
Sends
Suspects to cruel Jails abroad;
"Renditions"
are George Bush's Game,
But
Torture's Torture all the same!
When
Bush and Rumsfeld broke the Rules,
With
mean Interrogation Tools,
It
gave our Jailers their Excuse,
To
pile on Torture and Abuse!
Bush blusters Words so very
bold,
“Democracy
has taken hold!”,
Yet massive Crowds in old
Beirut,
Put
George's Boasting in Dispute!
Wolfowitz
the new World Banker,
George
must think Paul owns a Tanker;
And
now, of Course, Bush backs DeLay,
Because
Tom makes the House obey!
The Price of Oil is on the Surge,
As OPEC feeds their greedy Urge;
Republicans
are having Fun,
The
Steroid Hearings have begun!
Republicans
refuse to see,
Their
fiscal Meltdown in D.C.;
By
cutting Taxes to the Bone,
This
pending Budget’s one big Loan!
“Disinformation!”;
“Ponzi Scheme!”,
Please
wake us from this hellish Dream;
It’s
Borrow, Spend without Restraint,
Ken
Lay is Bush’s Patron Saint!
The
Christian Right could interfere,
In
private Matters quite severe;
They’d
save poor Schiavo’s Life,
alas,
But
none of them would wipe her Ass!
Bush Federalism is a Myth,
His GOP just took the Fifth;
If "Euthanasia" trumps "States'
Rights",
Hypocrisy has found new Heights!
The Weapons Panel did expound,
“There just was nothing
to be found!”;
And while the
whole Thing smelled quite strong,
Bush
should have known he was "dead wrong!"
John Bolton is the
Right Wing's Choice,
To
be our Nation’s UN Voice;
He
bullied Folks for false Intell,
And
now Iraq's our "Soldiers' Hell!"
"The
UN's top Floors should be razed,"
John ranted on, indeed, half-crazed;
Our
Allies all must think we're nuts,
For
Bush to choose this rabid Putz!
Oh
Frist is up to his old Tricks,
By mixing God with Politics;
"Religion Cloaked", he's sure to sway,
Those good old Boys like Tom Delay!
Bill thinks that Gays should all be doomed,
With “Right-To-Life” he is consumed;
He’d ban Abortions, no Surprise,
For Singles and/or married Guys!
Frist
claims the Media’s to blame,
And
Hollywood is much the same;
You
know we’ve heard this Crap before,
In
Germany, in ’34!
Now Bush has raised the
Price at Pumps,
The
Country’s feeling in the Dumps;
Tough
joltin’ Bolton is his Guy,
Still
Bill Frist would the Judges fry!
The
Market’s on a downward Trend,
Our
Offshore Jobs Loss just won’t end;
Those
North Koreans built their Nuke,
While
Iraq’s Mess could make you puke!
The
Christian Right controls George Bush,
They
really do his Buttons push;
With
Guns and Prayer and no Stem Cells,
Though
Tom DeLay and Oil Cartels!
Uzbekistan
is where Bush sends,
al-Qaida
Suspects for Amends;
Their
Genitals and Body Parts,
Are
shocked or boiled until it smarts!
That he would use cruel Surrogates,
As
Jailers, makes us Hypocrites;
Our
Human Rights are out of Whack,
With
George's "outsourced Torture Rack!
Rice threatened Russia just for Spite,
Now
Venezuela’s felt her Bite;
She’s
in their Face, imagine that,
This
Woman is no Diplomat!
Most
Latin Countries think we’re bad,
The
Allies are convinced we’re mad;
Our
Bank Account is overdrawn,
Respect
and Trust are all but gone!
Republicans keep tempting Fate,
While
Card touts Tom DeLay as great;
Our Reputation’s been destroyed,
Still
Pyongyang’s Nukes will be deployed!
Poor
Lynndie England's guilty
Plea,
Will
get her
Years till she’s set free;
Degrading
Inmates in Iraq,
Has
put this Soldier on the Block!
Interrogations,
Bush endorsed,
Have
changed the Rules, his Brass enforced;
Their
crass Indifference set the Trap,
That lets these Privates take the Rap!
Oh
Bush and Cheney with the
Rest,
Could
never pass an Ethics’
Test;
"Detainee
Torture" they’d
promote,
Ass-covered
by this damned
Scapegoat!
A Mistrial's been
called by the Judge,
For
Testimony fraught with Fudge;
The
real Defendants ought to be,
Don
Rumsfeld, Bush and Dick Cheney!
Oh
Bush removed the “Logging Ban”,
So
now he’ll
clear-cut where he can;
And
when he does our Forests spoil,
They’ll
jump right in and pump the Oil!
Still
Nature
can't quite catch a Break,
George
never learns from a Mistake;
While
Ten Buck Gas won't quench his Thirst,
This President is just the Worst!
Bad
Policy for Energy,
Was
set by Cheney's Friends you see;
Sierra
Club has lost its Suit,
Now
Dick and George rule absolute!
Bush’s
got the Earth careening,
Conservation's
lost its Meaning;
Stewardship's
been torn asunder,
"Drilling,
spilling, killing, plunder!”
They
say they've found a Hand Grenade,
In
Georgia, at the Bush Parade;
Thank
God it landed with a Thud,
Though
no one knows which one’s the Dud!
Americans could lose the Most,
When
Bolton takes the UN Post;
This
Bureaucrat, with Right Wing Ties,
Will
back George Bush and all the Lies!
Iraq Insurgents have
their Way,
Those
damn Car Bombings grow each Day;
"We've
won the War!" We were misled!
Just
tell it to the Maimed and Dead!
Rice went to Baghdad
yesterday,
To
see the Place in Disarray;
She
doesn’t know why Violence grows,
The
Answer’s right beneath her Nose!
If
she and Bush had used their Brains,
For
Peace instead of selfish Gains;
No
Weapons found nor Gas Supply,
How
many more will have to die?
She's
said again, “Saddam’s
the Dork,
Who,
with al-Qaida, hit New York!”;
More
Doublespeak and Doublethink,
She
knows damn well, there
was no Link!
Pure Ego Trip with Derringdo,
To
tell Iraqis what to
do;
She
took the Time for Photo
Poses,
But
not enough to smell the Roses!
GOP's
would dare to muster,
Votes
against the Filibuster;
When
they ditch this safeguard Tenet,
Frist
will own the U.S. Senate!
Santorum, Frist and other Fools,
Our
White House, Congress and the Courts,
Are
all controlled by Karl Rove Sorts;
Their
Push to rule by Bush Fiat,
Kills
“Check and Balance” with one Shot!
Flushing
Toilets with Disdain,
Has
given Newsweek lots of Pain;
Yet
White House Critics often smack,
Of
“Pots who call most
Kettles black!”
Both Rice and Bush screamed at the Press,
So Bush made Newsweek recant, crush,
And still they think it’s Fun to share,
Saddam Hussein in Underwear;
Harsh Inmate Handling’s quite O.K.,
Provided there’s no Exposé!
The Issue’s not
Saddam's Abuse,
But
who had turned the Picture loose;
Mistreatment’s
real, there is no Doubt,
They're
only pissed that it got out!
Offended, Cheney feels so sad,
Bush
thinks Stem Cells are pure Witchcraft,
And
Evolution Theory’s daft;
Gay
Rights are bad but War is fine,
Our
George is Human not divine!
Criticism’s
not allowed,
When
aimed at George Bush or his Crowd;
If
you should dare to say they're wrong,
McClellan
comes back twice as strong!
Our
Afghan Puppet Karzai said,
“The
U.S. caused Abuse to spread!”;
So
Bush says, “He’s a
Poppy
Cat!”,
More
Smoke and Mirrors! Tit for Tat!
The
new Bush Doctrine’s well in Place,
“We will strike first; al-Qaida chase;
Diplomacy
is such a Bore,
We
don’t need Allies anymore!"
"We’re Bully Boys, do what we say,
We’d
screw a Friend who's in our Way;
From
Oil and Gas, we’ll make a Wad,
We
have our Mandate straight from God!”
The World now hates us, mark it well,
They’d
like to see us blown to Hell,
Bush,
autocratic, without Sin,
Is
on a Track to do us in!
The
Balance soon will be
upset,
One
Party Rule is what we’ll
get;
Bush
has the "White House" redefined,
"Dictatorship"
now comes to
Mind!
Bill
Frist’s Plot’s
about to thicken,
With
the Senate playing Chicken;
The
Stakes, of Course, are much too high,
To
get their last few Judges by!
Which
Senator would
sell his Soul,
And
give George Bush complete Control;
This
Time they’re going much too Far,
To
put that Lid back on the Jar!
They’d drive each other to the Brink,
Yet
who would be the First to blink;
No
one among them’s very wise,
Let's
hope they reach a Compromise!
It
looks as though a Deal’s been made,
The
Filibuster’s Death’s been stayed;
It
seems to me they’ve both done right,
We’d
all be Losers in this Fight!
The Democrats have
just agreed,
To
Bush’s Judges, they’d concede;
Frist
called their Bluff so watch the Gloats,
He
probably didn’t have the Votes!
The
Christian Right’s Agenda’s clear,
To live in Myth and abject Fear;
From every Pulpit they will shout,
“You vote for us or you are
out!”
It’s not that they should not be
heard,
"Abortion's" still
their dirty
Word;
Democracy is not the Same,
Since they began this Black Mail
Game!
Bush’s new Faithbased
Tradition:
“SCIENCE
YIELDS TO SUPERSTITION!”;
So
Dr. Dobson can rejoice,
He's
put us in a “Hobson’s
Choice”!
The
Right-Wing's got their Nominees,
While
Democrats got off their Knees;
They
worked together, forged a Pact,
For
now the Senate stays intact!
Some
Moderates just took a Stand,
If
meaningful or Gesture grand;
They’ve
said, “Let's have more
Harmony!”,
We
Skeptics though must wait and see!
The House just passed a Stem Cell Bill,
Insurgents
pop up everywhere,
Their
Car Bombs blast each Thoroughfare;
How many more will die today,
With
Neocons safe faraway?
There is no Way to
stem
the Tide,
We
can't pull out while Qaida's hide;
A
stubborn Bush, who must be Boss,
Has
hung us with his
Albatross!
Dick Cheney
bragged to Larry King,
“We’ve
almost won this Iraq Thing!;
Insurgency
is in the Throes,
Democracy
just thrives and grows!”
With
still no Halt to Bomb Attacks,
This
White House plays Games with the Facts;
So
many People blown apart,
And
Cheney’s Lies are truly Art!
Well "Deep
Throat" Felt came out at last,
Reminding
us of Nixon’s Past;
"Hey
Woodward, can't you please somehow,
Get
Bush's Job outsourced right now!"
Now Rumsfeld's chided China too,
“Democracy”
he would imbue;
But
who are we to criticize,
When
we fight Wars based on Bush Lies!
Our Moral
Standards, I
suspect,
Have
cost this World its Self-respect;
We’re
Hypocrites or even worse,
Our
Sense of Values grows perverse!
We
lie; we war; we torture too,
We
tell our Neighbors what to do;
We’ll
clear-cut Trees then foul the Nest,
While
Bush still thinks his Way’s the Best!
Bad "Gitmo
News" got Bush quite riled,
They
said, "We had Korans defiled!";
In
Fact, both he and Rice proclaimed,
“These false
Reports, Muslims inflamed!”
The
Pentagon’s now leaked it out,
The
Truth it seems leaves little Doubt;
We
pissed on Korans, made them damp,
At
Bush's own Detention Camp!
Now
Biden swears Guantánamo,
Helps
Qaida's new Recruitment grow;
This
Prison caused an Ethics Stain,
When
"Human Rights"
splashed down the Drain!
Oh Carter made a
passioned Plea,
For
Human Rights and Dignity;
“Please
close your Camps and Gulags too,
It's
just the decent Thing to do!”
But
Rumsfeld said that, "Gitmo stays!
We
serve our Inmates prime Filets;
They’re
treated well and exercise;
The
Red Cross tells such wicked Lies!"
"AMERICANS LOST ON PATROL!"
1700’s
now the Toll;
Iraq
is one big dying Hell,
Still
Bush clings to, "We planned it well!
Dick
Cheney’s got a secret Plan,
For
fixing Iraq and Iran;
"We'll
Neutron Bomb, al-Qaida
foil,
Kill
all the
People, grab the Oil!"
This White House is a Ship of Fools,
They've
rigged the Game and break all Rules;
At
Gitmo, where George locked the Door,
Detainees
stay forever more!
All
Enemies are thrown in Jail,
Without
a Judge; they won't set Bail;
Bush
hasn't charged them with a Crime,
They'll
rot there till the End of Time!
Bush says the
World should be aware,
“Iran’s Elections are not fair;
They
block Dissent, Reformers smear,
Just
like my White House does it here!”
Iran’s Election got someone,
Who
wasn’t Bush’s favorite Son;
So
George proclaimed the Outcome bad,
Though
he won his by just one Chad!
Al Sharpton played
the Card
for Race,
And
slandered in the Brawley
Case;
Jeb
Bush is doing much the
Same,
By
sliming Michael Schiavo’s
Name!
This
Bush Bunch just won't let
Things cease,
Or
see that Terri rests in Peace;
Pure
Politics, perhaps, is why,
They'd
exploit People's “Right
To Die!”
Iraq’s a Shambles built on Lies,
Gas
Prices are at all Time Highs;
A
stubborn Bush at Straws does clutch,
He’s
got the “Inverse
Midas Touch”!
It
doesn’t Matter if he’s wrong,
This
Congress still would go along;
The
Country’s numb; we're in a Funk,
These
Guys are dumber than a Skunk!
With
Arrogance beyond Compare,
Rumsfeld
points Fingers everywhere;
This
War Bush started they can’t Halt,
It’s
always someone else’s Fault!
Karl Rove just said he
does insist,
“That
more young People should enlist;
Our
Liberty must be preserved!”
Yet
Rove himself has never served!
Bush
Chicken Hawks who do love War,
Hide
free from Harm, and further more,
Their
Influence and Power thrives,
While
they help others lose their Lives!
When George Bush lied us
into War,
Pataki
backed him with a Roar;
His
Son’s Commission's now conferred,
So
he would like the Kid deferred!
These Bush Men fight to keep Control,
Their Mess in Iraq takes its Toll;
They’ve
put too many in the Ground,
Still their Sons stay Home safe and sound!
Kyoto's
Accords, George deep-sixed,
So
Greenhouse Gases won't get fixed;
Apparently in Bush's Space,
True
Facts and Science have no
Place!
"The new Bush Plan," claims
White House Staff,
"Cuts
Global Warming
right in Half!";
According
to the Wall Street
Journal,
“Emissions
now must be
Nocturnal!”
When Bush his macho Gauntlet hurled,
Creationists have pushed their View,
To
have it taught at Tulsa’s Zoo;
In
Oregon, Bush would constrain,
The
Law that helps the Dying’s Pain!
Both Muslim and the Christian Right,
Are
in an endless, futile Fight;
While
Bush has got us trapped it seems,
Between
these two Goddamned Extremes!
Karl
Rove appears to be the Leak,
That put poor Plame right up the Creek;
Still Bush and Cheney love this Guy,
Yet no one knows the Reason Why!
Perhaps the Story will unfold,
That Karl had done what he was told;
Betraying Wilson and his Mate,
Just might be Bush’s Watergate!
Those Revelations from Novak,
To discount Wilson, have come back,
To haunt Karl Rove, who did know who,
Kept Yellowcake and ate it too!
Now Cooper says Rove told him first,
While Libby helped Plame’s Cover burst;
But why is Novak still OK,
He ratted out the CIA!
Yet Bush and Cheney’s Lips are sealed,
About the Agent Rove revealed;
I’m not quite sure what caused this Bind,
Though Treason seems to come to Mind!
"Please read my Lips and hear me speak,"
Bush
has a Plan to bail Rove out,
But hopes to keep “the
Leak” in Doubt;
The Essence of his brilliant Scheme,
He’d put Karl on the Court Supreme!
O’Connor’s Leaving made the Space,
That lets our George a Judge replace;
He wants a Female on the Bench,
So Rove's Sex Change gets Bush his Wench!
Karl Rove just pulled an awesome Feat,
Bush
opted for a Senate Fight,
To
move this Court much further Right;
Conservatives
will be repaid,
When
George aborts
old "Roe V.
Wade"!
This
Deficit is Bush’s Mess,
His White House does the Truth suppress;
This Court has ruled, we understand,
Republicans can take your Land!
Oh
Franks and Rumsfeld, Duty shunned,
By waging War while undergunned;
This whole damn Mess was poorly planned,
Built on the Cheap and undermanned!
Why would Bush dare a War begin,
He should have known, no one could win;
George never learned from History,
Sometimes it’s best to let Things be!
More Bombs go off both Day and Night,
Iraqis die, no End in Sight;
So now the World just hates us too,
It’s Vietnam and Waterloo!
Oh
Bolton’s Attitude is such,
That
no one seems to trust him much;
Frist
doesn't have the Votes in Town,
To
shut a Filibuster down!
But yet this John can't make the Grade,
The Death Toll in Iraq still
grows,
Just
when it ends nobody knows;
Bush
does this Shit because he can,
Yet
now he'd wage War on Iran!
From
where did Bush’s Genius come,
To
fight on two Fronts is so dumb;
Without
a Doubt, we’d take an Oath,
He’d
find some Way to lose them both!
In
Texas, George, while on his Bike,
Told Protesters to take a Hike;
Cindy Sheehan lost a Son,
Yet
Bush stayed busy
having Fun!
On 9/11 Bush relies,
Though
Protest Vigils still arise;
These Anti-War Folks have him vexed,
So George may “Swift-boat
” Cindy next!
This President
imperious,
Ignores those Things
most serious;
With Soldiers dying
every Day,
Bush chills in
Crawford hard at Play!
Bush it seems still
lives by Chance,
He’d
bike beside recovered Lance,
Who
seven Times has won the Tour;
Perhaps
George too should take the Cure!
"Expand!
Extract!",
George won’t conserve,
We’ve
got the World that we deserve;
"Exploit!
Deface! More Oil consumed!",
The
Bush Environment is doomed!
Pat Robertson did commentate,
“Chavez we should assassinate!”;
“Intelligent Design” indeed,
Taught
Pat and Bush both how to lead!
Assassinations
are OK,
But
not Abortions,
Marriage gay;
“Morality is ours to
cite!”,
So
saith Bush's Christian Right!
He’d raid the Trust
Fund yet not blink;
His
Deficit is our Red Ink;
George
solves all Problems with a Thud;
Most
Allies think our Name is Mudd!
With “Policies
Domestic” flawed,
Bush
waged a War he'd based on Fraud;
He'll
“Swift-boat" Critics in a Blitz,
This
President is just the Pits!
Now Bush vacations quite a Bit,
I
guess this Biking keeps him Fit;
Of
Course, our Soldiers in Iraq,
Are
playing Games, too, ‘round the Clock!
Katrina
was the
Hurricane,
That
stormed wild Winds, torrential Rain;
It
left our Coast in Disarray,
So
Bush went back on Holiday!
In Baghdad, Hundreds more were killed,
In
New Orleans, Flood Waters filled;
Dick
Cheney’s somewhere on the Run,
Yet
Bush still rules on Air Force One!
In New Orleans, the Looting soars,
And
in Iraq, the Carnage roars;
Uncertain
Times have not been matched,
How
can this Man be so detached?
His Leadership does not exist,
With
Right-Wing Views he will persist;
A
President aloof and tense,
“It’s
all about Incompetence!”
His Batting Average, “Close to Zero”,
Reminds us of a Guy named Nero;
The
Answer to this George Bush Riddle,
“As
our World burns, he plays the Fiddle!”
Those
poor Souls at the Astrodome,
Have
lost their Lives and have no Home;
So
Condi said, "Avoid the Blues!",
"Go
out and buy some trendy Shoes!
Judge Rehnquist’s Death creates the Hole,
Where
once more George would sell his Soul;
He’d
pack the Court beneath a Shroud,
That
panders to his Right-Wing Crowd!
At
First, Bush dumps old "Roe v. Wade",
In
Schools, the Pledge, will now be prayed;
His
Court Appointees conjure Fears,
They'll
screw Things up for thirty Years!
The Price of Gas has hit Four Bucks;
Big
Easy's Morgue's in Ice cold Trucks;
Iraq is
Terror’s biggest Hub;
What next is there for Bush to flub?
"Poor
People in the Astrodome,
Most
likely never
had a Home!",
Kind
Barbara Bush was
heard to scoff,
"So
now perhaps they're
better off!",
And
Rick Santorum, if you please,
Said, “Punish those Evacuees!”;
If
they don’t do what they are told,
Then throw them in some Dungeon cold!"
When Hurricane Katrina raged,
George
stayed in Texas disengaged;
Homeland
and FEMA’s Michael Brown,
Got
caught with Bush’s Trousers down!
Bush waves that
Nine-Eleven Flag,
So
much, in Fact, he makes you gag;
His
Actions showed that no one cared,
Incompetent
and unprepared!
His
Ratings have gone down
a lot,
But
what you see is what we've got:
"A
President who’s arrogant,
Just
stubborn and intransigent!"
Lies, more
War,
Corruption, Greed,
With
Friends or Cronies, us mislead;
So why can’t anybody see,
What
Bush has done to you and me!
This
Week the News was quite replete,
“Jeb
Bush’s Son’s drunk in the Street ,
Resists
Arrest and like a Prince,
Released
in own Recognizance!”
"The
EU's backed down on Iran,
Gay
Priests are barred by Vatican;
While
Rita’s Impact’s hard to gauge,
Dick
Cheney lurks and limps offstage!”
Bill Frist
sold Stock, perhaps not blind,
Then
got into an Ethics Bind;
If
they decide he should not stay,
We'd
get along without DeLay!
Bush
named his Lawyer to the Court,
She
seems a pleasant Kind of Sort;
It’s
no Surprise, he chose this Gal,
An
Insider and Crony Pal!
Conservatives
are quite upset,
And
might not support Miers yet;
Although
she's smart and seen as tough,
They
still don't think she's mean enough!
They’ve just indicted
Tom
DeLay,
While
Bush replaces Sandra Day;
A
Pardon or the Court’s new Look,
May get this Bastard off the Hook!
I
guess we should feel better now,
That
Bush hears Voices too somehow;
George
told Abbas, "I heard God speak,
And that's what caused the Plame Name
Leak!"
Those
Voices
then said, "Go to War!",
"Please
save Iraq!"
and further more,
"Protect the Jews and
Palestine!"
"Just use Intelligent Design!"
The
Plame Game Stakes are getting high,
And
Bush and Cheney both know why;
If
White House Staffers sealed Val's Fate,
It
could become their Watergate!
The White House Mood shows pending Doom,
While
Rove squirms in that Jury Room;
Plame’s
Outing just may come to Light,
When
they’re convinced they must indict!
Now Cheney's
Libby's on the Spot,
For
leaking Stuff he should have not;
If White House Secrets do ooze out,
It may shake up the Bush Devout!
Our Corporate
World’s turned upside down,
Since Bush and
Cronies came to Town;
It's
their Agenda we should thank,
If GM goes into
the Tank!
A
Balanced Budget’s just a Myth,
This
Congress plans to take the Fifth;
Incompetence,
without Regrets,
Is
why we're stuck with Bush’s Debts!
Oh
Cheney, Libby's Overlord,
With
Rove may fall on Bush's Sword;
More
Resignation Rumors fly,
Let's
hope all four go soon, bye-bye!
It's Cheney, Libby, Rove again,
Smug
Tom DeLay just smirked and shrugged,
When
fingerprinted, Photo mugged;
Though
charged with Crimes and out on Bail,
He
could get up to Life in Jail!
They say indeed that he took Cash,
And hid it in his Campaign Stash;
Diverting Funds with such Aplomb,
May be the End for poor old Tom!
Kay Hutchinson, who's on the Spin,
Claims, "Democrats
at Polls can't win;”
So they use Courts, in hot Pursuit,
Conservatives
to persecute!”
It
seems though now she’s changed her Tune,
“Bill Clinton was an evil Goon;
His Lying was a Federal Crime,
But outing Agents is sublime!”
Dick Cheney's asked old John McCain,
To
back his Bill inflicting Pain;
It
seems he'd give the CIA,
The
Right to torture, maim and slay!
They
lied to get their lousy War,
In
Prisons now they’d mistreat more;
How
can Bush be so calloused, cruel,
The
Guy's as stubborn as a Mule!
Well
now that Miers has withdrawn,
George
must another Crony spawn;
But
where to find an anti-Gay,
Pro-Life,
Pro-torture Judge who'd pray!
Watch
Rove just toe the Party
Line,
If
he’s indicted, he’ll resign;
But
hold your Nose; here comes the Stench,
When
Bush puts Karl up on the Bench!
Still Scooter Libby bit the Dust,
For
Politics, he broke the Trust;
While
Cheney snarled, “It’s quite a
Loss!”,
But
don’t forget who was the Boss!
For Bush, it’s not the Best of Times,
We hope this Trial,
the Truth, will show,
The
Public has the Right to know;
But
where for sure did this Buck stop,
The
Trail could lead straight to the Top!
This
White House Gang deceived and lied,
“Swift-boating” all who criticized;
Then
went to War, almost for Fun,
Yet
now, thank God, they’ve come undone!
Dick Cheney
too has
Angst and
Fears,
As
Libby faces thirty Years;
Though
if found Guilty under Oath,
This
Bush, no Doubt, would pardon both!
Alito was his second Pick,
A
Choice, of Course, that’s very slick;
“Experienced and Qualified”,
Conservatives
get mollified!
A
Fight gives Bush just what he needs,
Some
Smokescreen for his gross Misdeeds;
Yet
Filibusters in this Case,
Would
rally back that Right-Wing Base!
There is no Way to keep Sam out,
It's
all but over save the Shout;
More
Guns are in; bye Roe v. Wade,
And
Darwin’s
History, I’m afraid!
Bush outsourced Prisons Overseas,
So
we can torture Detainees;
The
Labor’s cheap in foreign Jails,
And
"Dead Men really tell no Tales!"
It's
"Out of Sight and Out of Mind!",
So
no one thinks of Folks confined;
Detention
in those far-off Lands,
Lets
Bush, like Pilate, wash his Hands!
In Argentina, Bush got booed,
By
Latins in a crummy Mood;
It
turned into a bloody Brawl,
So
why'd George go there after all?
We still could cut
poor George
some Slack,
And
say his Timing’s out
of Whack;
Those
Free
Trade Lectures did not work,
While
Chavez is one loud-mouthed Jerk!!
Now
Arnold's Reform Laws just
lost,
As
Corzine won despite the Cost;
"Hey
George, please hear that whooshing Sound,
Those
Democrats have turned around!"
A
Pennsylvania School Board’s out,
Because
they tried to Darwin
rout;
In
Dover, Voters had their Say,
"It
won't be all George Bush's Way!"
God’s
Spokesperson, Pat Robertson,
Rebuked
these Voters for their Sin;
Yet
Pat found out there's no Escape,
He
too descended from an Ape!
Oh Judith Miller
left the Times,
She
slept in Jail for Libby’s Crimes;
No
longer will her “By-line” print,
She’ll
write a Book and make a Mint!
Chalabi, Condi had a Date,
Discussing
Iraq’s pending Fate;
There's
something here that starts to smell,
This
Bastard fed us bad Intell!
Ahmad’s a Con Man or a Thief,
Who's
done some Things beyond Belief;
He’s
got us dancing on a String,
Yet
Bush still treats him like a King!
This
north End
of a south-bound Horse,
Still
tells us all to “Stay
the
Course!”;
To
win, he’d go to any Length,
Plain
Honesty is not his Strength!
His Judgment always comes up short,
George
wants to pack that Right-wing Court;
His
Iraq War is like "Macbeth",
Too
many Soldiers facing Death!
Oil Prices have become absurd,
George
never, ever keeps his Word;
Karl
Rove and Cheney call each Shot,
Bush
stubborn is, though smart he’s not!
Bush
spoke to Veterans in Wilkes-Barre,
Yet
Rick Santorum wasn't there;
"If Pre-War Intell was OK,
Then
why was Tenet blown away?"
George
came out swinging at his Foes,
By
blasting those who War oppose;
Bush
claimed, “This
helps the Terror Groups,
And
sends mixed Signals to our Troops!”
George
can't admit he makes Mistakes,
Or
that his War's a Bag of Snakes;
Still
History's Judgment will be terse,
"Compared
to Harding, Bush was
worse!"
Oh
Darwin's Theory still explains,
Why
Avian Flu evolves new Strains;
If
Bush won't split up Church and State,
Then
pray that we inoculate!
Bush
now in China lectures them,
Their "Human Rights" he does condemn;
His "Freedoms Speech" is so much
Glitz,
The Chinese know we're Hypocrites!
Yet
Bush’s diplomatic Skills,
Fall
just this Side of Poison Pills;
To
prove a Point, I do suppose,
He
rubbed Taiwan
in China’s
Nose!
You’d
think that Cheney would behave,
With
Libby facing Charges grave;
But
somehow Dicky must lash out,
At
anyone who'd dare Bush doubt!
“War Critics are not sensible,
Dishonest,
reprehensible!”
Raged
Cheney, desperate, on Attack,
Like
Despots calling Kettles black!
White
Phosphorus will burn and flash,
It
sizzles till you've turned to Ash;
We
used it in Fallujah, hey,
When
Bush gave Orders, "Bombs Away!"
Now Murtha wants to end this War,
McClellan
called him Michael Moore;
The
Swiftboat Crew will claim he's daft,
While
Cheney swears Jack dodged the Draft!
This China Trip was some Charade;
Bush
chided them on open Trade,
As
well as "Human Rights", and then,
Demanded
Hu be "born again!"
John Warner asked Bush to
explain,
Just
why he treats Peace with Disdain;
And does he have a cogent Plan,
To exit Iraq, if we can!
George
went to War to oust Saddam,
And got us in a Feudal Jam;
So now Iraq's destabilized,
And we’re the bad Guys, ill-advised!
“Duke” Cunningham, corrupt, resigned,
Had
more than Kickbacks on his Mind;
With
Frist, DeLay and all the Rest,
Bush
has himself an Ethics Test!
When asked about “Duke” Cunningham,
Oh,
in Iraq, we’ve hit the Wall,
Yet
Bush won’t plan for our Withdrawal;
Although
George knows that we can’t win,
He's
too damn hard-lined to give in!
Perhaps
he’d learn from Fiction’s
Stuff,
This
President who acts so tough;
Crusaders
chased the Holy Grail,
And
Iraq's
Bush’s “Ahab’s
Whale”!
Now Bush must think we’re all naïve,
The Europeans, if you
please,
Just
asked if we hid Detainees;
So
Condi will, with Bluster, scoff,
And
tell our Allies to "Back Off!"
The Kean Report says Bush has failed,
Despite
Detainees foreign jailed;
In
Europe's Cells, they just decay,
Still
Condi swears it’s quite OK!
Now Bush can look us in the
Eye,
Or mention Human Rights and lie;
We're
holding Prisoners without
Writs,,
"Rendition"
makes us Hypocrites!
Just think of all that George has done,
Katrina,
War, this Gas Price Run;
Corruption,
Greed, more than you know,
And
damn it three plus Years to go!
Good News today was a Surprise,
“Employment Figures on the Rise!”;
Watch
George just try to grab some Praise,
Or
even give himself a Raise!
Our
Bush will brag, indeed, mislead,
Then
claim he’s helped us all succeed;
Yet
each new Job was no Success,
Because
it's earning much much Less!
Rice
says, "Mistreatment now is banned,
For
Prisoners in a foreign Land!";
But
not to worry; have no Fear,
It's
still OK to torture here!
When Ashcroft's Patriot Act's renewed,
The
Fourth Amendment will get screwed;
Unless
you worship in John's Church,
You'd
best prepare for "Body Search!"
Oh Pinter won the Nobel Prize,
And
in his Speech, he did advise,
That
our great Land of Liberty,
Is
into War and Cruelty!
A new Law sought by John McCain,
Prohibits
“Treatment Inhumane”;
Yet
Bush and Cheney are opposed,
They
think Detainees should be hosed!
It’s
bad enough
that Soldiers died,
Or gave their
Lives because Bush lied;
How
dare they Heroes desecrate,
And ship them back
as Cargo, Freight!
No Flag-draped Coffins on the Scene;
Condolence Notes signed by Machine;
Don
Rumsfeld is an S.O.B.,
He'd send Home Bodies C.O.D.!
Oh Bush and Cheney get a
Thrill,
Mistreating
Prisoners till they're ill;
Although
our Allies stay aghast,
McCain's
Amendment has not passed!
We’d start a War, Bush based on Lies,
With
“Secret
Prisons”
on the Rise;
"Detainee Torture" is
the Rule,
How
can Dick Cheney be so cruel?
McCain is Bush's new best
Friend,
He'd
try to make the Torture end;
But
Cheney's miffed and can’t
relax,
Since
Halliburton sells the "Racks!"
George
signed an Order that supports,
His
Eavesdropping without the Courts;
With
Arrogance, Bush, Power flaunts,
Then
always gets just what he wants!
“The
Patriot Act will make us free!”,
But
what Bush does is what you see;
He’ll
spend until we all go broke,
The
“Bill of Rights” is now a Joke!
I don’t think
Folks are too surprised,
That George Reporters criticized,
For
leaking that he'd listen in,
On
any private Citizen!
When Bush goes
on a Power Trip,
The
White House likes to crack the Whip;
Since
George went on his Macho Toot,
Our
Civil Liberties are Moot!
If Bush believes he has
the Right,
To
monitor both Day and Night,
What
people think or do and say;
The
Constitution’s in his Way!
Then Condi joined this new
Debate,
Said,
“Eavesdropping
is truly great!";
While
Bush, the Rules, would redefine,
The
Rest of us must toe his Line!
Bush Credibility is gone,
His
Rhetoric goes on and on;
“Just stay the Course!” is his Refrain,
I
wish to Hell he’d feel the Pain!
The
Parents of those Kids who’ve died,
Must
suffer Bush and Cheney’s Pride;
George
swears "This War can still be
won,
Though
some of you may lose a Son!"
Bush’s Spy Game’s just absurd,
He’d
wiretap your every Word;
With
Surveillance "surreptitious",
Paranoid
and quite suspicious!
The
Congress won't do Oversight,
Gonzalez
always rules Bush right;
This
perfect White House, without Flaw,
Still
operates above the Law!
The Senate says it will discuss,
Exactly
how Bush spies on us;
Because
George knows our every Thought,
Those
Terrorists can now be caught!
Bush would
Alaska’s Refuge drill,
And
hide it in a Weapons Bill;
He’ll
borrow, spend, his Ethics soil,
It’s
always been about the Oil!
This President our Money spends,
Gives
no-bid Contracts to his Friends;
With
Arrogance beyond Belief,
He'd
buy the Rich with Tax Relief!
Corruption
starts right at the Top,
Until they’re
out, it just won’t stop;
Rove,
Libby,
Cunningham, DeLay,
With Cheney, Bush...
it’s “Pay
to Play!”
Now
Bush with Thoughts mysterious,
Acts
macho and imperious;
While
lurking Cheney, dour and drab,
Still
engineered their “Power
Grab!”
Yet Italy charged
the CIA,
With
whisking someone far away,
To
one of Egypt's secret Jails;
“Where
Torture,” they claim, “still prevails!"
"Intelligent Design" Folks think,
Charles
Darwin was the Missing Link;
If
Evolution's still too odd,
Perhaps
it's just the Will of God!
Oh Rick Santorum’s flipped and flopped,
His
Run for Senate's almost stopped;
Though
Rick's Intelligent Designed,
He's
just evolved and changed his Mind!
The NSA now listens in,
To
what you say and where you’ve been;
No
Warrants needed, can’t you see,
This
White House has its KGB!
Oh
Powell once again spoke out,
To
give George Bush some extra Clout;
He'd
eavesdrop without Court Review,
And
lie before the UN too!
So
Powell says
Rendition’s good,
The
World now knows where this Guy stood;
He
claims they’ve used it all along,
Why
can't he see that they're all wrong!
Would anyone this White House trust,
Now
Bush's “Spying” is a Curse,
“Without
Due Process”
makes it worse;
While
Peoples’ Rights are somewhat bleak,
He's
more concerned about the Leak!
Gonzalez probes to figure out,
Exactly
what this “Leak’s”
about;
To
"eavesdrop’s" still OK, I guess,
Just
not the Finking to the Press!
Oh Bush, who dragged us into War,
Defends
“Eavesdropping” even more;
His
Arrogance grows on and on,
With
two long Years before he's gone!
Republicans, corrupt and grim,
Support
George Bush’s every Whim;
This
Congress does his Views evoke,
So
“Check and Balance” is a Joke!
Now Abramoff
just copped a Plea,
So
all those bribed must wait and see,
Which one of them Jack does betray,
Along
with Ney and Tom DeLay!
These Lobbyists apply the Squeeze,
To
propagate their blatant Sleaze;
In
Washington, it's Bush's Way,
"If
you would play, then you must pay!"
The Patriot Act, Bush would renew,
This
War; more Lies, the Deficit,
They
make Corruption seem legit;
But
when their Ratings start to sag,
Bush
waves that "Nine-Eleven" Flag!
Pat Robertson claims, "Sharon got,
The
Wrath of God in one big Clot;
Dividing
God's Land is no Joke,
And
that's why Arik earned his Stroke!"
Now
Pat is one of God’s best Friends,
And
he knows best what God intends;
So
heed Pat’s Words; we must obey,
Or
God will smite your Brains away!
Now Cheney had a
breathing Scare,
While
Sharon’s in Intensive Care;
The
Question, if their Health goes South,
Is,
“Should
Bush give them Mouth to
Mouth?"
This
Senate will indeed confirm,
Alito’s
pending life-time
Term;
Still
“Bush’s Powers”, “Roe v. Wade”,
Are
Tests that Sam must not evade!
Conservatives like Bush’s Sort,
Hate
married Gays who'd dare abort;
Yet
Torture, Guns or Wiretaps,
Are
morally OK, perhaps!
So
Bush would shape all future Courts,
With
Right-Wing Values, he contorts;
George
changes Rules to serve his Needs,
Authority,
he just exceeds!
A single Dem has been
accused,
So
GOP's, themselves,
excused,
"Corruption is
bipartisan!",
And
Tom DeLay's
the
Artisan!
Now
Bush flew down to New Orleans,
To make a Speech and eat
some Beans;
But only George could still
ignore,
Those
Neighborhoods Katrina tore!
Republicans must now
address,
Corruption
in their Ethics’ Mess;
It’s
not how low this White House sinks,
Their
arrogant Defiance stinks!
Still
Bush and Cheney’s greatest Fear,
Could
bite them this Election Year,
”They wonder who's the
next to plea,
Those
Pay-offs to the GOP!”
Oh Halliburton, Abramoff,
How
many Pigs feed at the Trough?,
In
Congress, Pork and Money cling,
With
Tom DeLay their brazen King!
Let House and Senate change the Rules,
So Lobbyists can’t make them Fools;
No Bribes, No Trips nor taking Fifths,
And no Exceptions on the Gifts!
Now if Iran dares go “Nu-cleer”,
Our
warring Bush has made Threats clear;
"Before
they’d have one Bomb dispersed,
We’d damn well ‘nuke
and toast’ them first!”
Hamas has now Elections won,
Uniting Ballots with a Gun;
Bush says Democracy will
spread,
He must be right; just count
the Dead!
Our Quagmire in the
Middle East,
Was
caused by Bush to say the Least;
He
got all Muslims to agree,
That
we’re their Jihad's Enemy!
Iraq, Iran, the Hamas Coup,
Our
Deficit, Off-shoring too;
Eavesdropping
Folks without a Writ,
Corruption,
Lies, George won’t admit!
Bush
claims that we are Oil Addicts,
But
that’s just one of his old Tricks;
So
where is George’s cogent Plan,
Our
brilliant Conservation Man!
The
Carlyle Group owns Oil and Gas,
His
Daddy's Friends are Carlyle's Brass;
With
Prices up, it’s George's Sin,
The
Bush Clan only rakes it in!
This State of Union won’t address,
The
Things gone wrong or Bush’s Mess;
Screw-ups
galore; Achievements none,
Heed
not the Words but what he's done!
Now
Bush’s Speech was full of Hope:
"Of
no more AIDS and no more Dope;
He
wants a World that’s safe from War,
That's
'Nucleer' free and no one’s poor!
No
Racial Strife; al-Qaida’s gone,
Each
Judge he’s picked, a Paragon;
Saddam
Hussein just pissed him off,
He’s
never met Jack Abramoff!
Wiretapping’s legal, quite
OK,
Those
Critics all should go away;
'Just
lower Taxes!', was his Pitch,
He
wants to help the Rich get rich!
Katrina
was a tragic Shame,
Coretta
King's a classy Dame;
Republicans
are pure as Snow,
And
if they’re not, George Bush should know!
The
Middle East is safe at Last,
His
Policies are unsurpassed;
Democracy
has taken hold,
His
Promises are good as Gold!"
If
you believe what George has said,
Just
ask the Wounded or the Dead;
With
Rhetoric that’s just absurd,
His
Actions speak more than his Word!
Oh Cindy Sheehan was just jailed,
For
pointing out how Bush has failed;
They
said her
Tee Shirt had some Flaw,
Free
Speech is now against the Law!
Bush Senate members dare not stray,
Or
Rove will take their Funds away;
Their
Consciences have all been breached,
So
George can never be impeached!
It
seems so sad, so very strange,
That
Bush and Cheney resist Change;
Their
“Spy”
Programs stay sacrosanct,
With
no Success, they've all but tanked!
Their
bad “Intell”
got us Iraq,
Their
awful War has us in Hock;
Still
neither one admits Mistakes,
And
neither one has what it takes!
Bush
knew the Levees wouldn’t hold,
With
Cheney's Blessing, Libby told;
The
GOP stays on the Take,
While
Democrats can’t stay awake!
Iraq’s
a Shambles on and on,
The
Price of Gas supports Iran;
Hamas
and Putin renew Ties,
Our
George deserves the Nobel Prize!
To justify their War-bent
Views,
This White House cherry-picked the
News,
While Bush with pure Intransigence,
Distorted
the Intelligence!
George drove Iraq into the Ground,
There were no Weapons to be found;
That Bush is wrong is nothing new,
Impeachment
though's long overdue!
Consistent with George Bush’s Trend,
Dick Cheney shot his hunting Friend;
They'd both shoot first before they'd aim,
Yet neither one would take the Blame!
Poor Whittington albeit shot,
Milwaukee’s
where George made a Speech,
“The
Breakthrough’s now within our Reach;
We've
found new Kinds of Energy,
To
stop our Oil Dependency!"
Bush said we’re really on the Verge,
To
end this vicious Oil crazed Urge;
We’ve
always known he's had the Smarts,
Would
you believe he'd harness Farts!
United Arab Emirates,
Would
guard our Nation's Docks and
Gates;
Who
picked them’s just a Nincompoop,
“The Fox is in our Chicken Coop!”
Incompetence still reigns supreme
Bush now, of Course, defends the Deal,
That has Dick Cheney’s Touch and Feel;
They’re both so stupid regally,
To outsource our Security!
Bill
Frist and Congress then chimed in,
"How
could George let Dubai World win?”
So
now they’re mad at what Bush did,
al-Qaida
had a lower Bid!
They claim that Bush just did not
know,
About
this Seaport Fiasco;
To
say that George can be aloof,
Is
Understatement’s “Living Proof!”
It seems Bush made a secret
Pact,
For Terrorists to counteract;
If George pays Bribes as
he’s agreed,
Then
Dubai sells
Intell we need!
Bush, who never makes an
Error,
Swears
we've won the War on Terror;
Myopic
Views, he's 'Fable-ized',
Have
got the World destabilized!
This White House Staff's a Global Bunch,
Who brainstorm Tactics over Lunch;
Their next great Thought, just yesterday,
“Let Russia
run the NSA!”
A Civil War is what Bush got,
He's
in Denial like as not;
His
Leadership’s so damned inept,
That
Congress passed him while they slept!
Iran’s Enrichment Program grows;
They'd
put our Ports in Hands of Foes;
In
Baghdad, Chaos on the Brink;
It's
Bush not Orwell's “Double-Think!”
It’s
Torture, Lies, Corruption, more,
Hamas, Iran,
this endless War;
The
dreadful News stays on the Air,
And
no one really seems to care!
“Karl Rove is good; Dick Cheney’s great,
Our Strategies are all ‘first-rate’;
It’s wonderful in New Orleans,
We’ll stop Iran by any Means!"
“No
Civil War; Iraq is fine,
Democracy
is on the Line;
Our Docks are safe
most certainly!”
If
Bush is right, what's wrong with me?
Oh
Bush and India sealed a Deal,
To
give them “Nucleer” Info, real;
While
George is acting smug and calm,
He's
really helped them build “The Bomb!”
“Advanced
Arms Sales will go ahead,
To
India”,
George Bush just said;
“They
need more Guns”, his Speech began,
“So
they can war with Pakistan!”
Katrina’s
Fallout’s in the News,
It
shows the White House in a Snooze;
When
Levees flooded, Storm Winds raged,
Both
Bush and FEMA disengaged!
Republicans
perfect the Scam,
Like
Tom DeLay or Cunningham;
Corruption,
Graft or “On the Take”,
While
Bush puts Ethics on a Break!
Oh Scooter Libby made a
Mess,
By
throwing Plame's Name to the Press;
Still
who could order such a Toss,
None
else but Cheney, Scooter's Boss!
Now
George spent five Days overseas,
Those
“Nucleer
Would-Be’s”
to appease;
Between
Bombay and Pakistan,
Bush
sparked an Arms Race, not a Ban!
He
took this awful Escapade,
To
hide from Issues he has made;
Hey
George, if Problems overwhelm,
Just
look who’s standing at the Helm!
Now Bush has got us so
strung out,
We’re
“Paper
Tigers” with no Clout;
Insurgents
want to kick our Butts,
Our
Allies think that we’re just nuts!
Iran
and North Korea both,
Are
into rapid Weapons Growth;
But
when they thumb their Noses too,
It's
'cause there’s nothing we can do!
So
Cheney jumps in, no Regrets,
And
chides Iran with idle Threats,
“If you enrich Uranium,
I’ll
shoot you in the Cranium!”
Gale Norton,
too Late, has resigned,
Casino
License Fraud in Mind;
If
she or Cheney had their Say,
They'd blacktop
Yellowstone away!
They'd both shoot Wolves from
Aeroplanes,
Or
spill more Oil on Coastal Plains;
Gale's
Tenure at "Interior",
At Best was most inferior!
The Rumor has
it, Norton’s Bud,
Was
Abramoff, whose Name’s now Mudd;
With new
Elections in the Fall,
Our
Bush is mucking out his Stall!
Milosevic died in his
Cell,
It's
only fair, he'll burn in Hell;
A
racist Monster, murdering,
Still
Ethnic Cleansing was his Thing!
Moussaoui
may escape the Chair,
Because
some Lawyer did prepare,
Key
Witnesses on what to say,
And
put the Court in
Disarray!
Gonzalez
helped George Bush and said,
“Most
Torture’s good; off with his Head!”;
Despite
that Guilty Verdict Call,
Al’s
Prosecutors dropped the Ball!
Bush still hangs tough; he’s always right,
“Republicans are just
the Best!”,
“Our
Policies, by God, are blessed!”;
While
George cuts Taxes; Congress spends,
This
Nightmare, they've caused, never ends!
Our
Allies are confused and dazed,
By
all the Ruckus that we've raised;
Iraq’s
in Trouble and what’s more,
Bush
pushed them into Civil War!
Conservatives all
rally round,
They
hear Impeachment's whooshing
sound;
If
Feingold makes a Censure Call,
The
Dems could lose more Seats next Fall!
This Bloodbath in Iraq
goes on,
And
now Bush wants to hit Iran;
As
Things get worse, watch George invent,
New
Ways, the Truth, to circumvent!
Iran reached
out to us to
talk,
But
George would rather play the
Hawk;
He
charged them with Duplicity,
So
much for Bush Diplomacy!
Now Congress upped their
spending Spree,
That
just adds to our Misery;
They’ve
porked it big but won’t
admit,
They’ve
helped George build his
Deficit!
Yet
Bush and Cheney did declare,
"That Civil War is just not
there!",
But both
would “Nero’s
Fiddle” play,
While
we stay trapped in Iraq’s Fray!
Iran
has said they’d build the Bomb,
As Bush
remains quite far from calm;
Like
Star-crossed Lovers, both are cursed,
So watch old
George just nuke ‘em first!
“A
Civil War has not begun,
We're
in Iraq just having Fun!”;
Bush
touts, “Great
Progress has been
made,
That's
why we should Tehran
invade!”
George missed Katrina;
blew Iraq,
In
Prisons used Electric Shock;
Nine
Trillion Dollars into Debt,
When
Bush screws-up, it's our Regret!
Bush
Policies condoned Abuse,
Which
turned those Torture Cannons loose;
The
Brass and Staff owe Rumsfeld Thanks,
'Cause
Don just scapegoats lower
Ranks!
Two
so-called Scholars’ Diatribe,
Would
villify God’s chosen Tribe;
Mearsheimer’s
Words, backed up by Walt,
“Israeli
Lobbies are at Fault!”
Islamist
Praise shot in the Air,
For
Arguments not really fair;
This
Racist Tract’s beyond Rebuke,
Endorsed, what else, by David Duke!
It’s
War or Nukes; a Hurricane,
There’s
Avian Flu; more Death and Pain;
The
Headlines wreak such awful News,
It’s
Time to blame it all on Jews!
Republicans
in
Congress yell,
“Those Migrant Workers are
from Hell!”;
The pending Laws that Frist revamps,
Would
ship them to Internment Camps!
Exporting Jobs to
Mexico,
And
India’s the Way to go;
But
Bush’s Buddies rant and shout,
“Get all those damn Latinos out!"
The Senate’s
now in hot Debate,
Deciding
Immigration’s Fate;
If
Bigots do Illegals boot,
Then
Emma Lazarus is moot!
Bush
shuffled up his White House Deck,
Now
Andy Card's been cut by Heck;
Yet George
could care less whose
Head rolls,
He's out to bolster sagging Polls!
If
Bush has failed, you all know why,
He’s
arrogant and apt to lie;
With
Congress and its GOP’s,
They’ll
put this Country on its Knees!
Now Global Warming’s no Surprise,
With
Ocean Levels on the Rise;
Yet
Bush pumped Oil and chopped down Trees,
Then
dumped Kyoto, if you please!
He’d
bomb Iran
without a Thought,
While
Immigrants remain distraught;
Our
George still has his War, alas,
And
we’ve now got Three Dollar Gas!
"Don Rumsfeld has my full
Support!”,
According
to the News Report;
Though
Bush has claimed that too before,
When
Andy Card was shown the Door!
Most
Generals want old Rummy out,
But
like his Boss, Don loves the Clout;
Just
watch him bully them around,
While
putting Soldiers in the Ground!
Our Army went
in undermanned,
For
Don ignored what Generals
planned;
Today
too many Families
weep,
‘Cause
Rummy did it on the
Cheap!
Iran gives Bush the U2
Hex,
As
China would Taiwan annex,
And
North Korea’s
Muscle shows;
Yet
War it seems is all George knows!
Veracity
is not his Strength,
To
win, Bush goes to any Length;
So
why should they negotiate,
With
Someone who'd equivocate!
There
is one Thing, we hate the most,
To
hear from George, another Boast;
The
“Great Decider’s” what he’d be,
A
“Great Divider’s” what we see!
Now Rove’s Job’s pared; McClellan quits,
But
who’d be next, among these Twits;
Still,
where in Hell would Bolten stop,
I
wish Josh started at the Top!
Oh
Rove’s Demotion’s just a Ruse,
Contrived
by Karl
to turn him Loose;
So
he can now his
Thoughts transfix,
On
sliming Dems and
dirty Tricks!
Those Secret Prisons still persist,
Despite
Bush Claims they don’t exist;
A
CIA Boss won't confess,
She
leaked the Details to the Press!
Our Fuel Crunch that keeps
getting worse,
Puts
Profits Plus in “Big Oil’s”
Purse;
Yet
Bush and Congress have a Pass,
‘Cause
we are paying for their Gas!
George Tenet
told the White House square,
“Those nasty
Weapons are not there!”;
But
Dick and George blew off Intell,
So
they could blow Saddam to Hell!
Our Deficit is
George's Shame,
Republicans
are most to blame;
Because
of Bush and Cheney’s War,
That
Three Buck Gas will soon be Four!
Iran still vows
Enrichment Work,
Which
drives the Rest of us berserk;
Our
Future won't have Peace and Calm,
If
these damn Bastards build their Bomb!
Diplomacy
just can't succeed,
Because
of Bush’s "First Strike" Deed;
His
Lies have got us into War,
Now
who'd believe us anymore!
So
why should
Iran obey us,
It’s
George Bush Fume then
Cheney Fuss;
Their
Credibility is moot,
Just
Rhetoric before they shoot!
The Price of
Gas is off the Scale,
Still
Congress yaps to no Avail;
With
"Big Oil" reaping Profits rich,
That
caught Bush sleeping at the Switch!
Watch Congress check
out each Oil Firm,
Their
Taxes, Profits to confirm;
It’s
not about what’s fair at all,
But
Fear of Voters come next Fall!
Those
Gas
Pump
Prices climb and climb,
So
“Big Oil” People wax sublime;
They
pile
their Loot in obscene
Stacks,
It’s
Time to
pass that Windfall Tax!
Iran
complains yet cannot hide,
It
has a bunch of U Fluoride;
"For peaceful Use!", who would believe,
Mahmoud’s
got Terror up his Sleeve!
Joe Biden would Iraq
divide,
In
three new Parts, for ethnic Pride,
Partition
up our Mideast Zoo;
It's
Balfour Doctrine's "Déjà Vu!"
Those
Bigots really are naïve,
If
they think Immigrants should leave;
The
Logic of it all escapes,
Who’d
wash the Dishes, pick their Grapes?
Oh
Harry Truman made it clear,
"If
something's wrong, the Buck stops here!",
So take Bush
with a Grain of Salt,
It's always
someone else's Fault!
Now Iran threatened
Israel,
Should
Uncle Sam act towards them ill;
What
goes around would come about,
'Cause
Tel Aviv could wipe 'em out!
Yet in Iraq,
Afghanistan,
al-Qaida
or the Taliban,
Will
lurk and wait, till we've withdrawn,
And
just take over when we’re gone!
Oh
Russia, Cheney, now rebukes,
On
Freedoms, Oil or Iran’s Nukes;
This
Hypocrite, who never fails,
Still
uses Torture in our Jails!
The CIA will
change a Bit,
As
Porter Goss, it seems, has quit;
They’ll
put some Puppet in the Role,
So
Bush can have complete Control!
Now Michael Hayden’s Bush’s Choice,
With Rumsfeld’s sotto voce Voice,
To finally run the CIA,
The good old fashioned Cheney Way!
Iran, George Bush, a Letter, wrote,
And
begged that we not rock their Boat;
Mahmoud,
himself, would play with Fire,
While
preaching Nonsense to our Choir!
He
said “The
Holocaust’s a Myth!”;
“Obliterate those Jews forthwith!”;
“Wipe Israel
right off the Map!”;
A
Litany of Mahmoud Crap!
The NSA’s new Database,
Lists
all your Phone Calls, just in Case,
You’ve
chatted with a Terrorist,
Who
has bin Laden’s Sister kissed!
Detainee
Torture, War and Lies,
Surveillance
by domestic Spies;
Gas
Prices high; Corruption grew,
Iran has Nukes
and Pyongyang too!
The
Polls now show that Bush has slipped,
The
World believes he’s ill-equipped;
George
can’t admit he makes Mistakes;
His
Arrogance gives me the Shakes!
Now
Rove’s Indictment’s just ahead,
For
outing Plame, in Bush’s Stead;
While
Libby, at Dick Cheney’s Side,
Did
punish Wilson and his Bride!
This
White House will go into Shock,
With
Rove and Libby in the Dock;
Still
Bush will claim he never knew,
While
Cheney swears he’s 'legal' too!
Watch
Karl and Scooter take the Spear,
To
keep their Bosses in the Clear;
Yet
we all know that, by and large,
Both
Dick and George were quite in Charge!
Obstructing
Justice is a Crime,
So
Rove or Libby may do Time;
Of
Course, Fitzgerald did not say,
If
he would put the two away!
'Cause George and Dick both tempted Fate,
Our
Scooter could be Karl's Cellmate;
Graffiti
drawn o'er Jailhouse Cots,
States,
“Bush
and Cheney called the
Shots!”
The
Senate should grill Hayden tough,
And
focus on his “Eavesdrop Stuff”;
Without
a Warrant, snoop or pry,
He’d
be our chief domestic Spy!
Now Bush would
send in US Troops,
And
make all Migrants jump through Hoops;
He’d
close each Border, without Doubt,
To
keep those damn Latinos out!
Our
Neighbors to the South have tried,
To
stop the Migrants from their Side;
But
based on Iraq,
they're afraid,
That
Bush’s Army might invade!
The EU would
Iran placate,
By
helping their A-Bombs create;
Then
China’s Rockets could provide,
Those
Bombs a "Persian Carpet" Ride!
"Tar Baby's"
not the Term to use,
Unless you
would the Black Vote lose;
Though with the
Press, he said it twice,
Now
drifting, Snow will pay the Price!
Oh Bush would build that
silly Fence,
To
keep Hispanics in Suspense;
Yet
how much Loot could Cheney make,
If
Halliburton should partake?
Then
if his Fence does not succeed,
Those
Migrants will pour in and breed;
So
if George wants that “Right Wing
Vote”,
He'd
better build a “Flaming
Moat”!
Now
Bush and Bonds are much akin,
For
giving Truth that Curve Ball Spin;
If
they risked Lies while under Oath,
Then
History ought to asterisk Both!
Oh
Bonds passed Ruth in Home Runs hit,
If
he had Class, he would admit,
That
Steroids helped him smash the Ball,
So
he's an Android, after all!
Bush left the
White House, went to Church,
Then
ordered that illegal Search;
With
Karl Rove’s Ethics on the Mat,
George
had to nail a Democrat!
“Power
Separation’s” fine,
As long as
Congress toes the Line;
But George would
stoop to anything,
Which
proves he really thinks he's King!
If Jefferson
took Wads of Cash,
The
Freezer's where he'd hide his Stash;
Each
Campaign Gift or Bribe Payoff,
Finds
both the Parties at the Trough!
The FBI could cause Alarm,
If they’d found Hoffa on that Farm;
They hope the Body’s now you know,
At Jefferson’s beneath the Dough!
Frist
still maintains he could care Less,
About
this "White House Seizure" Mess;
Bill's
Attitude has us perplexed,
The
FBI may search him next!
Now
Bush still thinks he’s doing well,
With
Kabul’s
Cabal, straight from Hell;
They
riot in Afghanistan,
And
hate us more because they can!
Still in Iraq,
Civilians die,
Killed
by Marines, we don’t know why;
From
Fear or Rage; no Discipline,
Our
Cover-up compounds the Sin!
Diversion’s Bush’s best
used Ploy,
Because
lost Wars still Folks annoy;
His
“Same-Sex Marriage Ban's”
the Trick,
To
get that Right Wing Base to stick!
While in Iraq more die
each Day,
Our Bush is worried who is Gay;
It seems George cares who’s Bride, who's Groom,
He'd bug your Phones or your
Bedroom!
There’s no
one Else who’s
more absurd,
Than
one who'd take Bush at
his Word;
His
Lies have caught us more
than once,
Now
tell me who's the bigger
Dunce!
Iraq's
a Land of shattered Lives,
Because
of Bush, more Violence thrives;
This
Bloodshed, Chaos, we have wrought,
Sure
started when Saddam got caught!
They severed nine Heads on the Spot,
And
every Day, they’re bombed or shot;
Yet
Sunnis, Shiites now are free,
It’s
good to have Democracy!
Bush
has no Way to win his War,
We’ve
too few Troops, and furthermore,
Despite
the Death and damned Disgrace,
Iraq’s
a futile, feudal Place!
Oh mean
Zarqawi’s dead you see,
And
Bush is claiming Victory;
George
says,”Insurgents
won't Attack,
So
now our Soldiers can come back!”
“Our
Allies trust and think we’re true,
And
all those Muslims love us too!”;
If
you would buy this White House
Tale,
The
Brooklyn Bridge is up for Sale!
Now Tom DeLay
has left the House,
A
Partisan and first-class Louse;
He's
hammered all with great Disdain,
While
Graft, Corruption plagued his Reign!
When Arlen Specter raised
his Hand,
To
ask about Surveillance planned;
Dick
Cheney glared, then set his Jaw,
And
screamed, "We
are above the Law!"
Three Gitmo
Inmates hanged today,
In
Protest of their Prison Stay;
But
Bush who’s stubborn as a Mule,
Has
shown the World we're really cruel!
His
one Day Flight on Air Force One,
Took
Bush to Baghdad for some Fun;
While no
one's sure about his Goals,
It bumped his
Numbers in the Polls!
Now in Hawaii, Bush declared,
A
"Special Place for Sea Life spared!”;
To
drill for Oil's his secret Wish,
On
Rigs where he and Jeb can fish!
More Newscasts drive us up a
Wall,
The
Price of Gas still casts its Pall;
Sad
Gitmo's Saga never ends,
Yet
Congress,
Money, ever spends!
Some
Soldiers murdered Inmates, three,
While
North Korea’s Missiles be;
Iraq's Insurgents can’t be
stopped,
And
Karl Rove’s Charges have been dropped!
Bush searched
and searched for Saddam's Stash,
But
couldn't find that Weapons Cache;
To
bolster up his next War Plan,
George
just might say it's in
Iran!
"Now North
Korea’s
Missile Test,
Has
got this White House quite
distressed;
Though
George has dug himself a Hole,
Fear
not, Dick Cheney’s in Control!
Bush
says, “It’s us that
you must
choose!”
While
Dems will waffle till they
lose;
The
Senate still gets nothing done,
It’s
“Stay the Course!” or “Cut and Run!”
Hamas attacked again
tonight,
Killed
two Israelis, in a Fight;
One
Hostage taken, in the Rift,
Retaliation
will be swift!
This
endless War between these Two,
Pits
Arabs all against the Jew;
One
craves a Homeland to be free,
The
other needs Security!
"Gitmo Tribunals broke the Law!"
Those War Crimes Trials, the Court just blocked,
For
all those Inmates, overstocked,
In
Gulags, like Guantánamo,
Means
George may have to let them go!
With Stem Cell Research on
the Line,
Bush
cast his Veto as divine;
What's
next for him to legislate,
“That
Women may
not menstruate?”
There’s
Chaos in Iraq’s
Quagmire,
As Hezbollah more Rockets
fire;
Yet
Heating Oil’s hit Three
Bucks plus,
‘Cause
George and Congress
missed the Bus!
Iraq’s now in a Civil War,
Iran
would build more Nukes galore;
This
Crisis in the Middle East,
Is
George’s Fault, to say the Least!
Of
White House Screw-ups, not the
First,
Katrina
was among the worst;
But
why can't Bush, for all our Sakes,
Admit
just once, he makes Mistakes?
Gay Marriage
plus the Stem Cell Bans,
George
used to please his Right Wing Fans;
If
Bush's Crowd could more Votes draw,
I'd
bet they'd repeal Newton’s Law!
Ann
Coulter's Venom never stops,
She's
sanctified those Bush Eavesdrops;
Yet
in Iraq,
more Bombs explode,
On
every stinking, blasted Road!
Bush
Policies, confused, confound,
To
drive Korea
underground;
George
threatens, chides, indeed cajoles,
So
now Iran
just thumbs its Nose!
In
Lebanon,
a frail “Cease
Fire”,
Lets
Hezbollah more Arms acquire;
As
Syria would lie and cheat,
And
Israel
takes all the Heat!
It’s six long Years since
Bush began,
And
what he’s touched just hits the Fan;
He’s
doubled Gas and Healthcare Cost,
World
Trust in us is all but lost!
Katrina, Iraq,
Lebanon,
The Spending's up; the Surplus gone;
His “War
On Terror”
Battle Cry,
Sure helps George make more People die!
There
are
some Things, George can’t accept,
Like
being wrong, as you’d expect;
But
if at Fault, Bush just forgot,
That
New Orleans
was
left to rot!
Now Iran does their Fuel
enrich,
Yet
Bush can only jerk and twitch;
His
UN Sanctions won’t go far,
A
"Paper Tiger’s" what we are!
Oh Chavez thinks that we all stink,
Dick Armitage admits some Shame,
For leaking Val
Plame’s covert Name;
If Libby too,
perhaps did lie,
That Cover-up could
make him fry!
However, as we’ve
seen before,
This White House
does the Law ignore;
So like Karl Rove,
who wrote the Book,
No Doubt, they’ll
all get off the Hook!
Old George stood
up in Legion Hall,
To
justify his Mideast Brawl;
“Islamic Bad
Guys, don't you know,
Are
just like Nazis and our Foe!”
Then
Bush proclaimed his great Success,
Yet
all he's done is make a Mess!
Iran's
Enrichment's at the Core,
While
Iraq’s trapped in Civil War!
Now Opium's still on the Rise,
As
Poppies swell the World’s Supplies;
‘Cause
Bush has failed Afghanistan,
Those
Taliban kick Ass again!
Oh
Global Jihad’s getting worse,
Though
Bush himself brought on the Curse;
Iran
is now Iraq’s best Friend,
So
our Prestige has seen its End!
No Warrants, Torture
seem OK,
Just
more of Bush and Cheney’s Way;
This
Congress acts as if it’s numb,
Oh
what in Hell have we become?
Bush waves the Flag, then
incites Fear,
Republicans,
his Words revere;
Americans,
in Silence, wait,
But
still let George our Rights abate!
This
War, indeed, Bush did provoke,
The
Violence grows; we’re going broke;
George
scares and lies; let's call his Bluff,
And
vote them out; enough’s enough!
Still
Congress wants a Fence quite stout,
To
keep those migrant Workers out;
I’ll
bet, though sealed, the Bids reveal,
That
Halliburton gets the Deal!
So Bush just went up on the
Hill,
To
get more Votes for Torture, still,
At
Gitmo and his secret Jails,
His
Chutzpa, dammit, never fails!
Bush Buddy Ney admitted Guilt,
With
Abramoff, slimed to the Hilt;
They’re
all corrupt as well as mean,
I’ll
bet these Bozos get off clean!
Oh Colin
Powell’s changed, what’s more,
He
just spoke out against the War;
He
wants Detainees treated well,
But
Bush would see him first in Hell!
“Protection
Laws are to ignore!”,
When
Griles and Norton ran the Store;
While
Bush and Cheney did prevail,
“Interior” went up
"For Sale!"
Now
Bill Frist still with Bush agrees,
“It’s
Fun to torture Detainees!”;
“It's
better though," we do suppose,
“With
Cattle Prods or Rubber Hose!”
Hamas,
it seems, remains surreal,
With
Abbas, now, they will not deal;
They’re
adamant and still insist,
That
Israel
does not exist!
Bin Laden’s rumored
Death is News,
The
French are probing for some Clues;
With
Bush or Clouseau at the Helm,
Results
no Doubt will underwhelm!
This Iraq War
has made Things worse,
As
Terrorists can now disperse,
Around
the World, the Jihad brews;
It's
Bush, by George, who lit their Fuse!
Mark Foley's
E-mails to young Boys
Have got the Press now making Noise;
Republicans, who've acted queer,
Let Hastert hide it for a Year!
The GOP has lost its Way,
They'd turn some Pages just for Play;
While Hastert seems to Ethics lack,
He’d rather watch Friend Foley’s Back!
Oh
Hastert is a surly Lout,
His
Cover-up was mean, no Doubt;
He
still cares more for Votes curtailed,
Than
Teens who’ve been for Sex, E-mailed!
Now
Bush’s Base could soon erode,
With
each new Scandal Episode;
Because
Mark sent those E-mails, strange,
The
Ruling Party may just change!
So North Korea’s got their
Bomb,
And Pyongyang's
rung the World's Alarm;
Though Bush still
threatens, swaggers
too,
There’s not one damn Thing
he can
do!
Yet since this stupid Nuke's been built,
The Earth, of Course, has
gone atilt;
Japan has levied Sanctions
but,
There is no Way to crack
this Nut!
Oh North Korea, Iran too,
Want "nu-cleer"
Bombs up our Wazoo;
Bush Policies were not
worth Squat;
So Nightmares now are what
we've got!
He's
stubborn, smug or plain inept,
Bush lost this War! He's
blown the Debt!
"No Talks Direct!"
"Just Stay The Course!"
Our north End of
a south-bound Horse!
Bush
pandered to that Right-wing Base,
Then lied to pad his Iraq
Case;
This White House is a Ship
of Fools,
With George in Charge,
Corruption rules!
There’s
Cunningham, Mark Foley, Ney,
And Hastert, Hyde, Frist, Tom
DeLay,
With Cheney, Bush,
all second Rate,
They've
dug themselves a Moralgate!
Six
Hundred Fifty Thousand dead,
In Iraq’s War, which Bush
has spread,
So Terrorists, Insurgents
grew;
George
bit off more than we can chew!
Now George
proclaimed at Hastert’s Show,
“The Speaker’s pure
as driven
Snow!”,
So
Politics stayed Number One,
While
teenaged Boys are just for Fun!
“Harsh
Questioning” is now the Law,
Geneva’s
next…watch Bush withdraw!
With
Torture legal, just obscene,
The
World has learned that we're plain mean!
Now Rumsfeld
says, “Don’t watch the News!”
"We’re
so damned strong, we cannot lose!”
"Our
Miltary’s just the Best!”,
Like
Hitler boasted with the Rest!
So Bush still signed that
Torture Bill,
And
fed our Rights his Poison Pill:
"Though
Habeas Corpus goes away,"
"Mistreatment's really
here to stay!"
Now Peter Pace
extols his Chief,
Admiring
Rumsfeld’s Faith, Belief;
”Our
Plans for Iraq might seem odd,"
"But
Rummy got them straight from God!”
Oh Bush won’t
change; he’ll stay the Course,
To
get his Way, he’d still use Force;
Diplomacy,
George would despise,
For
no one trusts a Man who lies!
This President,
who’s unrestrained,
Has
caused great Damage, untold Pain;
Bush
Arrogance is on a Ramp,
And
Congress still his Rubber Stamp!
Despite bad
Polls, Bush still won’t budge,
But
who are we, this Man to judge;
George
claims his Calls have all been right,
If
you buy that, you're not too bright!
Now Hastert told those Ethics
Men,
Just what he knew, as well
as when;
But then, he testified
with Joy,
"I
know I've never kissed a Boy!"
Oh Halliburton, rich,
immense,
Would
love to build George Bush's Fence;
I'd
bet, for Profits, they'd just use,
Cheap
Migrant Workers in their Crews!
Rush
Limbaugh critiqued every Twitch,
Of
Michael Fox' Stem Cell Pitch;
Though
Parkinson’s is just a Start,
Republicans
should clone a Heart!
New
Jersey’s Courts have said OK,
To
Marriages and Unions Gay;
Then
Bush's Right-wing Base uproared,
So
Foley now can be restored!
At
Gitmo, still, Bush Torture thrives,
While
Cheney crows, “Each Dunk saves Lives!”;
“That
Water Board is just the Thing,"
“For
Muslims who need christening!”
If
Calderon does visit Bush,
He’ll
“Migrant Workers Treaty” push;
Our
racist Antics make Things tense,
So
Mexico's now on the Fence!
Canadians might think
they’re next,
Our
Border’s long and quite complex;
Invasion
from the North’s remote,
Perhaps
for them, we'd build a Moat!
In Xenophobic
Speeches, hear,
Republicans,
who pump up Fear;
George
Bush puts "TERROR" in big Quotes,
We
know he does it for the Votes!
Lynne
Cheney hit those TV Shows,
Defending
her Man, Head to Toes;
"My
Dick's so sweet, a real nice Guy,"
"Who
wouldn't even nuke a Fly!"
Don
Rumfeld’s screwed up Iraq’s Scene,
Incompetent
though oh so mean;
Now
fourteen thousand Weapons lost,
Insurgents
have ‘em! What’s the Cost?
More
Snipers take a deadly Toll,
They
kill our Soldiers, on Patrol;
And
we are not the only ones,
But
how'd those Snipers get their Guns?
Now Bush has stepped up
his Attack,
Against
the Dems, who sorely lack,
A
Plan that would Iraq
address;
Ironic
how he’s spun his Mess!
If
you believe the latest Poll,
Republicans
will lose Control;
Corruption;
War; the Price of Gas,
Unless
Bush nails bin Laden’s Ass!
Oh
Bush and Cheney are to blame,
Their
War's gone wrong, Excuses lame;
With
Arguments that make no Sense,
Fat
Limbaugh's come to their Defense!
John Kerry criticized their War,
So all of them gave him what for;
True Veteran's Views, which stay unswerved,
Are dissed by those who’ve never served!
Bush
waved “Gay
Marriage” like a Flag,
To
make sure Red States’ Votes don’t sag;
His
Base would freak, but they don't know,
If
Karl Rove’s Lover’s Tony Snow!
Ted Haggard’s left Bush in the Lurch,
And now he's had to leave his Church;
The GOP’s Sign’s one big Hex,
By paying Guys, for Meth and Sex!
Bush
"Holier Than Thou's" do wrong,
Though some resign, it takes too
long;
More
Cover-ups; it's plain to see,
It’s
Time to clean House in D.C.!
Sex
Scandals, Lies, the Spending Spree,
The
Torture, Graft, Hypocrisy;
The
“Nuc-Cleer” Threat; their Mideast Botch,
All
happened on George Bush's Watch!
Midterm
Elections, almost here,
Will
send a Message loud and clear:
“The
GOP deserves the Fall!”,
"For
they're the ones who dropped the Ball!”
Republicans,
who hate the Truth,
Will
get theirs at the Voting Booth;
Unless,
of Course, again this Year,
They
hang more Chads and rig the Gear!
Because
George
did Approval lack,
The
Dems have won the Congress back;
They've harped
on every Bush Miscue,
When
Bush dumped
Rumsfeld, Cheers, no Tears,
Both
in Denial for six
Years;
Don
put
his Generals on
the Shelf,
Then
called the bad Shots by himself!
Rove watched the
latest Voter Trends,
Defeat,
of Course, keeps no old Friends;
The
GOP went in the Tank,
How
long before Karl walks the Plank?
The UN’s Bolton
wants to stay,
And
Bush would like it just that Way;
"John's
Confirmation has no Chance,"
"Lest
George resigns!" was Biden's Stance.
Now
if McCain should join the Race,
An
’08 Bid could be apace;
John's
helped Bush get some awful Laws,
A
Vote for him leaves Room for Pause!
So
Giuliani too would run,
He
thinks he could be Number One;
Ambition
drives his White House Plan,
Our
New York Nine-Eleven Man!
But
you should also not forget,
Old Rudy’s Speeches did abet,
His Friend George Bush, and furthermore,
Pal Bernie Kerik’s Stun Gun Score!
Iran keeps lying through
their
Teeth;
Plutonium's
found underneath,
Their
waste Sites, where they’d swear again,
"We're all for Peace;
good Will
towards Men!"
Iran's hell-bent to build
that Bomb,
Still
Russia thinks they're safe from Harm;
So
let’s just hope, by any Means,
They
blow themselves to
Smithereens!
Oh Abramoff has gone to Jail,
And
turned the White House Shades of pale;
There
is no Doubt, Jack bought them
all,
Or
that Corruption was on Call!
The GOP’s new Whip is Lott,
They
all forgot his racist Shot;
Four Years ago, old Trent did
say,
“Boys,
Segregation’s
just our Way!”
With Asian
Allies, Bush would tell,
“Our
Trade Pacts are alive and well!”;
“This
Midterm Loss was just bad Luck!”,
And
then George ate “lame Peking Duck!”
In Vietnam, where Bush
accedes,
They’ll
recognize his peaceful Deeds;
With
Medals Gold, for being strong,
Awarded
by the Viet Cong!
Pelosi
won the Speaker’s
Chair,
With
Hoyer now her Whip and Heir;
With
common Foes, they'll heal the Split,
Though
Liberal or just Moderate!
Martinez,
their new Party Chief,
Cried
"Let’s get back our core
Belief!”
“Republicans,
for us to rise,"
"Just
spend, make War and tell more Lies!"
Now
George is pushing Hu on Trade,
Another
silly Bush Tirade;
The
Chinese copy all our Stuff,
Of
Which, we cannot buy Enough!
Then George just said that Hu should pray,
To
whom he wants, in any Way;
“Our God is
good, His Word persists!”
Yet
Bush forgets they’re Atheists!
That Bush is
Putin's Friend's a Fact,
They've
signed a mutual World Trade Pact;
So
Iran’s Bombs were freed from Guilt,
That
Centrifuge was Russian-built!
When
Bush found Saddam 'neath those Rocks,
He
opened up Pandora’s Box,
Now
North Korea’s on a Roll,
And
Iran seems beyond Control!
Now Bush went on an Asian
Tour,
His Welcome there was
mixed for sure;
While
Indonesia’s free to choose,
They
greeted him with Jeers and Boos!
This Bloodbath in the
Middle East
Is
getting worse to say the Least;
The
Chaos, Violence just won't quit,
Yet
Bush and Cheney started it!
Karpinsky swears old Rummy knew,
About Abuse to get G-2;
At Abu Ghraib, where
Torture thrived,
Don had those
Inmates' Rights deprived!
“The
Troops must
stay until I've won!”
“And
I will tell them when they’re done!”
As
President, it’s still his Call,
With
two more Years to his Pratfall!
The
Middle East is so distraught,
With
Anarchy that Bush has wrought;
George won’t
admit he makes Mistakes,
We know he ain't got what it takes!
Poor George will
never figure out,
He caused Iraq’s
God-awful Rout;
There is no graceful Exit Scheme,
From this Jerk’s ill-conceived
Wet Dream!
Enlightened
Folks, like Taliban,
Think Women
are an Also-ran;
If Girls would learn, Results are grim,
Their
Teachers slain, torn Limb from Limb!
Our
Options, though, seem moot somehow,
“Add
Troops, cut back or leave right now!”
Perhaps, we even could
have won,
If Bush resigned or
hadn't run!
So Gunmen fight
in Baghdad’s Streets,
A
tragic Scene that just repeats;
Our
Soldiers there, no Exit Door,
Are
caught inside a Civil War!
In
Lebanon, Hezbollah rules,
They
now run Iraq’s
Terror Schools;
Since Bush,
all History, disregards,
Islamic
Crazies hold the Cards!
"For Brilliant Work” is what we’re told,
The U.N.’s Bolton has
resigned,
Bush
couldn’t get his Votes aligned;
Perhaps,
it’s just as well, that John,
Who’d
fabricate Intell, is gone!
One messed up World is what
we see,
It’s
such bad News that’s on TV;
While
Bush’s War is as we’d feared,
Dick
Cheney’s all but disappeared!
Oops, Cheney,
with the
Saudis met,
But
not to worry, not to
fret;
Dick’s
furtive Mission
leaves no Doubt,
He
went to Oil Investments
tout!
Some Fifty Bullets
fired that Night,
Poor
Sean Bell's killed without a Fight;
When
Sharpton yaps, please don’t forget,
It's
“Tawana
Brawley"
you may get!
Bob Gates stood
up and
spoke his Mind,
"As for Iraq,
we're far behind!"
"We can’t assess the full Impact,"
"But
we could lose and that’s a Fact!"
The White
House
Team switched into Gear,
They
made their Pitch and spun more Fear;
”If you won’t cheer or jump
through
Hoops,”
”It means you don’t support our Troops!"
Iran's Mahmoud's a Despot,
plus,
He’s got some Balls to
lecture us;
His Weapons Program's been
unleashed,
You'd bet he’d rule the
Middle East!
But
now he claims the Haulocaust,
Did not occur; no one was lost;
It’s all a Myth that helped create,
That damned, illegal Jewish State!
He’s called a Conference to his Land,
To prove his Premise can withstand,
The scrutiny of Scholars who,
All swear there's never been a Jew!
We’ll never understand
George
Bush,
His
Brains are up Dick Cheney's Tush;
Both
claim they've done Iraq
OK,
So
now they’d drill in Bristol Bay!
Bush Experts vetting, loud but
terse,
“Iraq
is grave and getting worse!”
I'm
betting George won't take Advice,
No
Matter what, we'll pay the Price!
His
Panel did much more than hint,
Their
stern Rebuke is now in Print;
They
said, “Our
Troops should soon withdraw,”
“Diplomacy could help Things thaw!”
A stubborn Bush
just can’t accept,
These Charges
that he’s been inept;
He won’t give
in or Plans revise,
There’s still no Way, he’d
compromise!
Despite
the
Study’s Views of Gloom,
Our
Bush still looks for
wiggle Room;
George
won’t pull back a single Man,
Nor
talk with Syria or Iran!
Santorum
voted
down Bob
Gates,
His parting
Shot, which
demonstrates,
Rick thinks
Engagement is
Retreat;
That's
why he lost his Senate Seat!
The UN’s Annan’s parting
Speech,
Spells out the Things that
we would breach;
Throughout his Reign, all
Kofi’s done,
Is criticize ‘most
everyone!
In
Darfur, People die en masse,
While AIDS, it seems,
spreads very fast;
The World still has such
awful Slums,
All Annan does is beat his
Gums!
He
blew it with their “Oil-for-Food”,
With Kick-backs siphoned
by his Brood;
So
nasty in this Farewell
Blast,
It’s Time that Kofi’s
Tenure’s passed!
The
UN is that empty Space,
Where Third World Inmates
run the Place;
Debates’ incessant, never
cease,
Without
the Clout to keep the Peace!
Now in Iran, mean Bigots
meet,
Their rabid Brains stuck up
their Seat;
They’ve proved, with
Logic,
unsurpassed,
“That
Auschwitz Victims were not gassed!”
“Six
Million
Jews are still alive!”
“In
Israel,
alas, they thrive!”
"Those Death
Camps really never were!”
“The
Holocaust did not occur!”
Mahmoud,
of course, would build his Nuke,
While entertaining David
Duke;
That asshole Dunce, of Ku
Klux Fame,
Who
swears that Jews are fun to blame!
In Gaza, Peace is on the
Skids,
Hamas just killed three
Fatah Kids;
In
Turn, their Judge has now been shot,
A Civil War is what
they’ve got!
Iran, Iraq or
Palestine,
The Middle East is out of
Line;
Its Power Balance was
destroyed,
When Bush’s Armies were
deployed!
The Panel did his Antics crush;
Defiant
Bush says, "I won't rush,
To
change Iraq’s Scenario!"
One
stubborn Mule; more Status Quo!
Our Nation has been thrown
a Curve,
If
Johnson's sick or cannot serve;
The Senate Dems can
only sigh,
When mean Darth Cheney
breaks the Tie!
"Though Combat's
ugly, it's legit!”
So Rumsfeld says, “We must not
quit!"
Screw Don’s
Opinion, then screw him,
This
Guy risked neither Life nor Limb!
Gates took the Helm now at
Defense,
A
Job that’s much more than
immense;
He's
got to have Emotions
mixed,
This
Bush Fiasco can’t
be fixed!
It’s no Surprise
how low Bush stoops,
He's
just announced we'll add more Troops;
George
never meant to take Advice,
He'd
stay his Course, dumb, imprecise!
Bush vowed, he would, a new Course plot,
The
Truth be known, he'd rather not;
His
Iraq Gig's no Lollygag,
When
George should zig, you know he'll zag!
Iraq means take it on
the Chin,
There
is no Way for us to win;
3000’s
where our Death Toll’s at,
Though
Bush would like to double that!
Trade
Sanctions on Iran, imposed,
Some
hoped would get Reactors closed;
Who’s
kidding whom, it's still quite clear,
That
Russia sells enrichment Gear!
Mahmoud, indeed, will all defy,
His Oil, of Course, the World
will buy;
And though it’s still against
the Rule,
He’ll just keep on enriching
Fuel!
Akthar
Osmani’s bit the Dust,
That
Creep who had bin Laden’s Trust;
Alas,
Alack, My Gosh, Good Grief,
Poor
Taliban has lost its Chief!
al-Qaida's
Jihad spreads Despair,
With
Helter-Skelter everywhere;
The
White House Spin is wearing thin,
It’s
quite the Mess, Bush got us in!
Now Cheney, with that
White House Team,
Is helping Bush to plan
and scheme,
To leave Iraq and
still save Face;
Ironic, though, it’s their
Disgrace!
Yet Bush still
says, "We can't retreat!"
"Our Work's not done till it's complete!"
He must be nuts or we're deranged,
With George in Charge, our World's sure changed!
Somolia’s
Skies are full of Planes,
Still
in Darfur, the Bloodshed stains;
Islamist
Rebels’ Racist Rage,
Just
fuels this Jihad they would wage!
The Verdict in
his Trial foregone,
Saddam,
in Haste, was hanged at Dawn;
This
brutal Tyrant caused much Pain,
But
did their Civil War contain!
Now Cheney's lauded Gerald
Ford,
“The Nixon Pardon brought Accord!”;
These
Words, though, had a selfish Aim,
Dick
hopes, someday, he'd get
the Same!
Bush
has not heard one
Word that’s said,
About
Iraq
or all its Dead;
This
prideful Man admits no Sin,
You
know damn well, he’ll just dig in!
Though Jerry Ford now lies in State,
George
still controls our Nation’s Fate;
He’ll
up the Troops; expand the War.
Oh
what the Hell, that’s what he’s for!
The Middle
East's that Tinder Box,
With
Flames fanned by O’Reilly’s
Fox;
But
don’t forget, there’s
still a Catch,
George
Bush and Cheney lit
the Match!
In Gaza,
Hamas, Fatah clash,
To
end their Cease Fire in a Flash;
Yet
if these Factions don’t align,
There
won’t be Peace in Palestine!
Bush swears in Five Years, he’d commit,
To
zeroing the Deficit;
George
can’t cut Taxes till there’s none,
And
still waste Money like he’s done!
Not
“Keynesian” nor “Laissez-Faire”,
"To
spend until the Treasury's bare!”;
Supply-side” or the Bush “Voo Doo”,
Dumped on us all, by you know who!
"Cooperation,
we extol!",
Say Democrats, now in Control;
But
George said, "Watch my
big Surprise!"
"I’m
learning to spell Komprumize!"
The
first “One Hundred Hours” Test,
Was
flunked by Congress, who’d have guessed;
A
Football Game's become their Perk,
They
still would rather play than work!
There is no Way that
either one,
Can
stop this War or get it done;
Though Democrat or GOP,
Two
Years of Gridlock's what we'll see!
Now Bush’s Plan is nothing new,
We
knew damn well just what he'd do;
The
Voters told George, “Change
the Course!”
But
all he knows is using Force!
This
next Expansion’s
just a Crock,
And
won't bring Peace inside Iraq;
Despite
his Words, “Let
Freedom Ring!”
Democracy
is not their Thing!
He’ll
send more Troops to join the Rest,
So
they can die at his Bequest;
Bush
doesn’t have one Ounce of Brains,
Please
God, someone, pull in his Reins!
No
one would buy that Speech George gave,
He'll put
more Soldiers in their Grave;
Although it's
as the World expects,
With Syria
and Iran next!
Misguided,
dumb or Bush can't hear,
What Midterm
Voters said this Year:
"YOUR
GODDAMNED WAR CANNOT BE WON,"
"SO READ
OUR LIPS, GEORGE, "CUT AND RUN!"
There’s
one Thing though, I still don't get,
Why
Critics think our George a Threat;
Is
it because he's erudite,
Yet
never wrong while always right?
Or
is it that his biased Views,
Will
drive us bankrupt as we lose;
His
bungled War
defies Belief,
Brought
to us by a bunkered Chief!
Our ‘Bunker
George’ has now dug
in,
To
surge Iraq despite the
Din;
He's
at Camp David's
Mountainside,
Like
Berchtesgaden,
safe inside!
Bush
still
ignores what others think,
So
in Iraq
he’d deeper sink;
George
could care less about the Dead,
It’s
all about his Pride instead!
Iraq is such a troubled
Place,
Bush made Things worse in
any Case;
Their Civil War would
still go on,
Though we should stay or
if we're gone!
The
Chaos of the Middle East,
With Bush's Help, has just
increased;
But George has never
figured out,
Whose Lies brought all of this
about!
The
Saudi King met Condi Rice,
Whom
she convinced, with sage Advice;
So
now he’s backing George’s Plan,
Else
face her Oil Embargo/Ban!
But then she’d travel to
Kuwait,
Or
any other Arab State;
Bush
sent her as a last Resort,
To garner up some Surge
Support!
That Eavesdrop Law, Bush
can’t renew,
Was aimed at Folks like me
and you;
Although
Dick Cheney still insists,
That Democrats are
Terrorists!
His Library at SMU,
Has got our George in
quite a Stew;
But still his biggest
Problem looks,
Like where to stash his
Comic Books!
Now
Ney’s in Jail and serving Time,
For
taking Cash and Bribes, a Crime;
Jack
Abramoff, who was Bob’s Friend,
Bought
Congressmen who liked to spend!
When China’s Missile hit its
Mark,
It caught this White House
in the
Dark;
If there’s a China/Iran
Pact,
Watch George give Orders
to attack!
Chavez
just told us, “Go
to Hell!”
Perhaps
he has no Oil to sell;
Yet
Bush's Polls keep going
down,
And
Hugo's acting like a Clown!
Now Scooter Libby’s Trial
is nigh,
With
Cheney due to testify;
The
Presidential Pardon’s set,
If
they can both the Truth forget!
His
Lawyer then was quick to snarl,
“He
took the Fall protecting Karl!”
"Though
Scooter's
Judith Miller’s Pal,”
“He’s
not the one who outed Val!”
Now Bush’s Annual Address,
Was
to a Nation under Stress;
George
tiptoed gently through the Grass,
With
nothing new to add, alas!
He
wants us all to please conserve,
And
have the Healthcare we deserve;
Support
our Troops while Overseas,
But
still let George do what he’d please!
“We
must cut Taxes, it’s all right!
“A
Balanced Budget’s still in Sight!”
“These
past six Years, I’ve earned your Trust!”
“The
Economy is now robust!”
“This
Immigration Problem’s tough!”,
“The
Terrorists are playing rough!”
“But
we can win the Iraq War,"
"If we
just surged a little more!”
Bush
plied the Democrats with Praise,
And
didn’t even bash the Gays;
Republicans
then gave him Cheers,
Their
President for two more Years!
For Democrats, the Race
begins,
To
see who’ll clean up
Bush’s Sins;
Yet
White House Would-be’s must
assess,
Just
how they’d fix this awful
Mess!
But
Cheney says he still knows Best,
He’d send more Troops to
join
the Rest;
Dick could care less who
gets interred,
How
many Times was he deferred?
Oh Chavez reigns now by
Decree,
And
euthanized Democracy;
Yet
Bush still does what he damn likes,
While
Congress gets called, "Out on Strikes!"
Now Global Warming’s just a Myth,
Intelligence
Reports have shown,
That
Iraq’s Gloom and Doom have grown;
As
Bush drives up his Surge Expense,
The
Senate's sitting on the Fence!
Why
must both Houses go along,
With
Bush, who's really been so wrong;
This
headstrong Man, who'd strut and crow,
It’s
Time that Congress just said, “NO!”
Your Trust in Bush has
been misplaced,
Just
look at all he’s laid to Waste;
Our
Deficit is now a Trend,
So
how much more can this Guy spend?
Republicans
still block Debate,
So
Bush’s War will escalate;
Their
Politics, as you can see,
Enables
this Catastrophe!
The Core of
Scooter Libby’s Strife,
Was
outing Plame, Joe Wilson’s Wife;
But
still his Trial won't seem zany,
When
the Blame leads straight to Cheney!
Should you
into
his Budget delve,
Bush
swears he’s balanced by Year ’12;
If
you believe his Voodoo Math,
He'll
take you down that Primrose Path!
The Cuts Bush wants, I am afraid,
Now
Putin charged in hot Debate,
That
Bush, the World, would dominate;
This
Accusation’s no Surprise,
What
with banned Weapons he supplies!
Attacking
Bush sure takes the Cake,
Whose
Centrifuges did Vlad make?
Although
he spews mean Words, adverse,
God
knows which one of them is worse!
Still Bush and Cheney keep us
caught,
Trapped
in a War that's all for Naught;
Yet
we are damned, there is no Doubt,
Should
we surge up or pull Troops out!
Those Taliban, massed to
attack,
Would
love that Afghan Dam to crack;
They’ve flooded in from
Pakistan,
But that's because they
know they can!
Those North Koreans did
agree,
To
dump their Nukes for Energy;
While
“Talks Direct” may save
the Day,
It’s
sure not Bush or Bolton’s Way!
Iran
might stop their Weapons’ Race,
If
we just met them Face to Face;
But
Bush still thinks his idle Threats,
Will
give Mahmoud the Shakes and Sweats!
How many
Billions did Bush waste,
With
no-Bid Contracts won in Haste;
Though
no Work done, they'd still get paid,
The
Public Trust, by George, betrayed!
The House, it seems, just
passed a
Bill,
That
questions Bush’s Right to kill;
Non-binding,
so the Senate balked,
And
talked and talked and talked and talked!
Those Bush Supporters, forty-four,
Protected
him and his damn War;
Though
fifty-six did George berate,
The
Senate Rules blocked all Debate!
More
Choppers down and Car Bombs
blow,
Then
News Spin Crap from Tony Snow;
While
Baghdad
burns, from War within,
Our
Bush plays Nero's Violin!
McCain to woo
Conservatives,
Has
earned himself some Expletives;
Flushed out, the
“real” John, has
conveyed,
That
he would dump on “Roe v. Wade!”
Who says smug
Scooter Libby lied,
An
Allegation, he's denied;
And
though he gave Val Plame that Push,
He's
no more honest than George Bush!
“We’ll leave with Honor,” Cheney
said,
“So we’ll have time
to count our Dead!”
But
“Honor’s”
not the Word I’d pick,
For
either Bush or Shooter Dick!
Dick
railed at China’s Missile Test,
Said
North Korea was a Pest;
He
caused a War by telling Lies;
The
Guy should get a Nobel Prize!
Our
Allies said they’d leave Iraq,
Which
just about put Bush in Shock;
We're
trapped inside his Twilight Zone,
Yet
now we'll be there all alone!
A
rabid Mahmoud builds his Bomb,
And
North Korea means us Harm;
Those
Taliban might still attack,
If
we can't hold al-Qaida back!
That Bomb Blast in Afghanistan,
There’s one Thing I
don’t
understand,
“How Jefferson
got Ninety Grand!”
And
though he’s now off “Ways
and Means”,
He’s
“Homeland
bound”
when it convenes!
Pelosi’s
playing politics,
Perhaps
someone’s put in the Fix;
Republicans
and Democrats,
Are
all corrupt and them’s the Facts!
So
Scooter may in Jail reside,
The
Jury said he really lied;
No
Memory Loss nor some Miscue,
Which
means that Cheney also knew!
What
Kind of Leaders have we got,
Who'd
let those Gitmo Inmates rot;
Or
Walter Reed, with no Regrets,
Mistreat
our poor returning Vets?
My Fantasy, I must admit,
Is that Dick Cheney really
quit;
“The
Libby
Case”; “The Plame Blame Game”,
It’s wishful thinking all
the
same!
Now Gringo
George who’s on a Tour,
Thinks
Chavez is a friggin' Boor,
'Cause
Hugo hurled harsh Epithets;
The
Two of them are just the Pits!
Eight Prosecutors just got
canned,
For
being soft on Dems, as planned;
His
Patriot Act, fraught with Abuse,
Has
left Gonzales no Excuse!
Yet Congress claims they were
misled,
By
all the Things Gonzales said;
“These
Lawyers lost their Jobs for Flaws,
Disloyalty
was not the Cause!”
But
then Al said, “Mistakes were made,”
“But not by me; it was my Aide!”
“My Torture Brief; this Purge of mine,”
“Are not good Reasons to resign!”
So why should People be
surprised,
That Bush’s Foes got
exorcised;
This White House hatches
evil Plots,
While Rove and Cheney call the
Shots!
Good
General Pace says, "Gays are bad,"
"Their Acts
immoral, dirty, sad!"
"So don't
tell nor, together lie,"
"Though
Queers may serve, until they die!"
In Mexico, Bush said today,
"Our
Immigration’s in the Way!"
"The
Laws must change," George then went forth,
And
hopped a Freight Train heading North!
Now Bush and Cheney figured
out,
That “Check and Balance” sucks, no Doubt;
So
Karl Rove stomps on all the Rules,
Their
"Ship of State’s" our “Ship of Fools!”
Yet neither Rove
nor
Cheney, both,
Would
make a Statement under Oath;
Mean,
stealthy Cowards, quite immune,
Misuse
their Office to impugn!
In
Congress, Plame did testify,
“The White House blew my Cover! Why?"
"For Politics; to Wilson scare!",
"Republicans don't seem to care!"
Bush
hopes no one is keeping Score:
Eight
Lawyers sacked or his damn War,
Katrina,
Torture, Cheney, Ney,
Plus
Iran’s Nukes will come your Way!
The Senate may subpoena Karl,
The Fifth Year of his War is here,
If
Bush, Gonzales, really fires,
He
could choose Rove or Harriet Miers;
George
gets the Crony he deserves,
And
we will know whom Justice serves!
George
holds the Congress in Contempt,
So
Miers, Rove plead "Oath exempt!"
Perhaps
these two would not have lied,
Unless,
of Course, there's much to hide!
Bush
cannot risk to have Rove sworn,
Before
a Congress, rife with Scorn;
If
under Oath, Karl speaks untrue,
He'll
share that Cell with Libby too!
By seizing Brits upon High
Seas,
Iran would put us on our Knees;
By building Nukes, Mahmoud, the
Fink,
Could
only push us past the
Brink!
A Spending Bill passed,
post Debate,
That brings Troops Home, in Year ’08;
But stubborn Bush won't lose a Fight,
So watch his Veto just for Spite!
A George Bush Veto’s no Surprise,
The Guy’s a Jerk with beady Eyes;
That he'd dig in, may not seem strange,
Since Voters shouted, “WE WANT
CHANGE!”
Incompetence,
with each Misdeed,
Has
brought us Iraq, Walter Reed;
Bush,
blameless, whines, “Can’t you see,”
“Mistakes
were made, but not
by me!”
Mahmoud and Blair have had
a Tiff,
Poor
Sailors, hostaged, caused the Rift;
A rogue Iran, though, has
no Qualms,
God
help us all if they get Bombs!
An Easter Gift for Tony
Blair,
Are
Hostages, sent Home by Air;
But,
in Return, Mahmoud demands,
"Those
Jews must leave all Muslim Lands!"
Lost Benefits for Army Vets,
They’re
discharged yet George Bush forgets,
The
Pentagon would use PD;
To
make our Wounded serve for free!
Though
Bush for all his Macho Talk,
Has
told our Vets to take a Walk;
Now
that they’re hurt or down on Luck,
He’d
cheat them all, to save a Buck!
So Fox was made a Bush Envoy,
Appointed
by a tricky Ploy;
Bush
waited till this Week’s
Recess,
To
sneak Sam in, he used Finesse!
There’s
no Consent, with
Congress out,
For
paying off this Party Lout;
George
knew he’d never get the
Votes,
For
Pals who'd smear or buy Swift Boats!
Gas Prices soar; the War goes on,
The Spending Bill, Bush swears he’ll kill,
Will
get his Veto on the Hill;
Stem
Cell Research goes down the Drain,
'Cause
Science hurts poor George’s Brain!
Those racist Slurs,
Don said as Fact,
Got
noxious Imus justly sacked;
While
Duke’s Lacrosse Team’s innocent,
Bush
stretched our Troop's Tours by Intent!
Now Wolfowitz' Girlfriend
got,
Her
plush Job, Raises ‘cause she’s hot;
Which
proves that White House Pals, like Paul,
Thrive
on Corruption, after all!
If Wolfie keeps
on hanging tough,
I
hope the World Bank calls his Bluff;
His
Girlfriend’s Honor's now been blurred,
To
Bushies, "Honor’s" just a Word!
Some secret E-mails, Karl
Rove lost,
Concerned
those Lawyers, Justice tossed;
They
say it was an Accident,
Yet
RNC sure has the Scent!
Gonzales says he
may have erred,
But
that’s because he's running scared;
On
Tuesday, though, when under Oath,
Al
must explain his "long Nose Growth!"
New Textbooks sold to US Schools,
Were
meant to build smart Reading Tools;
Yet
$Billions spent to meet those Ends,
Has
mostly gone to White House Friends!
While “Reading First”
was just for Kids,
The
Contracts went to "inside" Bids;
So Spellings' Pals, in Armored
Trucks,
Still
drove away with
all the Bucks!
Virginia
Tech’s that Slaughter House,
Where
Students died, shot by some Louse;
Yet
Bush and Cheney are the ones,
Who’d
like us all to have more Guns!
If
decent Students all were armed,
No
one would have, perhaps, been harmed;
When
Quick Draw Cowboys do their Part,
A
Shooter's killed before he'd start!
Please click here
to go to a poem
about Columbine!
Now
NBC’s own Ethics Group,
Had
Issues with their “Cho/Gun Scoop”;
Not
Victims’ Families nor Sound Bytes,
But
what to charge for “Movie Rights”!
Gonzales, Libby, Wolfowitz,
With
Bush and Cheney, Hypocrites;
When
caught they just use Bully Force,
No
Conscience, Shame nor plain Remorse!
Dick Cheney claims his War is
great,
But
doesn’t want an Exit Date;
He
keeps on swearing we’ll
succeed,
Yet
vilifies poor Harry Reid!
Both
Dick and George are not too smart,
It's
been Disaster from the Start;
And
though there's nothing good they've done,
They’d still give everyone
a
Gun!
When
Congress threw
their Gauntlet down,
They
meant to tip King George's Crown;
Though
Signing
Statements or Veto,
There's
no Place else for Bush to go!
George
caused this War by pure Deceit,
Incompetence
has wrought Defeat;
Our
Nation
wants their Soldiers out,
And
that's what this is all about!
They covered up how
Tillman died,
While
Private Lynch was deified;
Which
proves Bush lacks Capacity,
For
Truth, straight Talk, Veracity!
George Tenet
wrote in his new Book,
That
Cheney, out of Context, took,
The
Words “Slam Dunk” and then what’s
more,
Just
twisted them to go to War!
If
Tenet now so strongly
feels,
He
got the Shaft from
White House Wheels;
Instead
of all this “too-late” Flack,
Just
shove his Freedom Medal
back!
Four Years ago, the First
of May,
Our Jet Jock George, flew
in to say,
“Mission
Accomplished! We
have won!”
“This
War is
over! Job well done!”
Aboard
the Lincoln, his Address,
Was full of Lies and false
Largesse;
A
stubborn Man, Bush just won’t
bend,
Dear God, please make his
damn War
end!
Bush still told Congress, “Screw you Guys!”
"What
makes you think, I'd compromise?"
"I'll
veto Bills, with
pull-out Dates,"
"And
leave those Soldiers to their Fates!"
Bush wants no “End-Dates”
to his War,
Gas
Prices, Three Bucks, almost Four;
Watch
Rove and Miers take the Fifth,
Still
Global Warming's just a Myth!
Gonzales
did those Lawyers purge,
Republicans
demand their Surge;
These
Bush and Cheney Nightmare Years,
Are
much, much worse than all our Fears!
George
calls himself, “Commander
Guy”,
Or
"Great Decider", God knows why;
He
fancies himself quite the Wit,
Well
we agree, with half of it!
Dick
Cheney's on some secret Tour,
Of
Baghdad,
where he's safe, secure;
It's
Business first, but then for Fun,
He'll
practice fire his brand new Gun!
Most
Candidates are just a Pain,
There's
Giuliani, John McCain;
Then Hillary,
Obama, Mitt,
And None of
them is worth a Shit!
They
all kiss Babies, shaking Hands,
Still no one
knows where each one stands;
They'll
promise this or promise that,
But
if you're smart you'll smell a Rat!
Abortion
Rights; against the War,
Off-shoring
Jobs; who's keeping Score;
Corruption,
Graft, al-Qaeda Smoke,
The sad Thing
is, it's not a Joke!
Oh Jerry Falwell,
Robertson,
With
Fellow Bigot, James Dobson;
Mean
Jerks who'd claim God’s on their Side,
Yet
used their Pulpits to divide!
Three
Homophobes, who would you know,
Still
favored Torture at
Gitmo;
Abortion
is their dirty Word,
Repressive
Reverends quite absurd!
So
Lesbians and Gay Guys too,
It’s Time to marry, say “I do!”
Just sin away; you can't cause
Harm,
Old Jerry Falwell’s bought
the Farm!
This
White House thinks it's quite OK,
To
give one's Girlfriend extra Pay;
Despite
the awful Breach of Trust,
Bush
still endorses Wolfie's Lust!
Gonzales
just caused Justice Grief,
The
World Bank’s looking for a
Chief;
But
Bush can prove he still controls,
By
swapping Al’s and Wolfie’s
Roles!
Now
Jimmy
Carter spoke up first,
“Bush
Foreign Policy’s the Worst!”
The
White House quickly snarled Contempt,
“Old
Carter’s dumb, irrelevant!”
If
nothing else, it’s proved the Point,
Incompetence
still runs the
Joint;
Through
six long Years of
Bush-made Hell,
George
brushes off his Critics well!
Oh
Bush and Cheney did create,
A
goddamned, scary, "Frankenstate";
So
when they leave us, in Duress,
Their
Legacy's one stinking Mess!
Yet
Soldier’s Tours, Bush just extends,
His
“War On Terror” never ends;
George
threw Gas, high-priced, on the Fire,
Now
Baby Boomers can’t retire!
Still Barry Bonds is
chasing Hank,
But
it's the Steroids, he should thank,
For
all that extra Home Run Clout;
If
he’d had Class, he’d just strike out!
While Bush salutes the Troops who've died,
George
acts as if he'd never lied;
No
Doubt, they’d be alive today,
If
in Iraq, we'd stayed away!
Despite the Anabolic Ban,
Our
Barry’s soon the "Home Run Man";
Like
Bush, I’ve come to Bonds despise,
Because
their Powers came from Lies!
So Sheehan,
Murtha, Batiste too,
Spoke
out against the Bush-led View;
Now
they’ve been silenced, as are all,
Who’d
criticize a George Bush Call!
Yet
Congress sounds like bleating Sheep,
Ignoring
Problems, half asleep;
On
Global Warming, Species Loss,
Bush
thinks he is the G8's Boss!
Now Putin says he will not
yield,
To
George Bush or his Missile Shield;
With
Iran’s Nukes and Russia’s Mood,
Diplomacy
does not look good!
So Libby’s going to the
Stir,
For outing Plame, we
all concur;
And
though his Alibi had Cracks,
He's
covered Bush and Cheney’s
Backs!
This White
House, still, does not play fair
They
bend the Rules with Room to spare;
And
now that Scooter’s off to Jail,
They'll
send his Pardon in the Mail!
In
Baghdad
Bombs keep going boom,
The
Middle East's all
Doom and Gloom;
Hamas
has Fatah on the Run,
Yet
Georgie Porgie's having Fun!
The
Iraq
Surge has just not worked,
While
Torture has our Allies irked;
Iran
equips the
Taliban,
Still
Bush goes on because he can!
The Judge says Libby has to serve,
In
Gaza,
Hamas is in Charge,
As
Baghdad's Killers' Bombs discharge;
Iran's
Mahmoud is Mischief bound,
While
Bush plays War quite safe and sound!
The Courts, at
last, have set Bush back,
For
Inmates he'd hide in a Crack;
At
Gitmo or Rendition Sites,
Those
Stays “Indefinite” are Blights!
This
White House Staff has come
unhinged,
Our basic Rights have been
infringed;
The Constitution, Bush has scrapped,
Gonzales stays and we are trapped!
World Peace has truly gone to
Pot;
More Soldiers keep on getting
shot;
And Bush and Cheney’s Legacy,
Is
one big Kakistocracy*!
|
*Kakistocracy, n., from the
Greek, kakistos, worst, superlative
of kakos, bad. |
Bush
vetoed Stem Cells, can't you
see,
Research
is not his Cup of Tea;
He’d
save one Egg or Sperm or more,
Yet
slaughter Thousands in his War!
Now
Cheney is one “Secret”
Guy,
More furtive than a Kremlin
Spy;
His
covert Style would give him Might,
And
helps him duck all Oversight!
The Senate now would still debate,
On migrant Workers and
their Fate;
Conservatives push their
Attack,
Twelve Million Souls,
they’d just send back!
Now Paris post her Prison
Fling,
Did interview with Larry King;
Pop Culture’s Diva, not contrite,
Is really not too very bright!
John Edwards
was in Coulter’s Sights,
So Liz responded Bits and Bytes;
At Last, mean Ann was forced to pout,
She finally got what she gives out!
Reform for
Immigration failed,
The Senate Vote has Bush derailed;
The sad Thing, though, is all those Folks,
Who’ll be the Butt of racist Jokes!
Since Bush has
just Subpoenas blocked,
He’s ordered all his Desk Drawers locked;
Those Lawyers fired, did Rove decide,
We wonder now what else they’d hide!
For
Roberts' Court, a sad Day, though,
“Race Fairness” got
the old Heave-Ho;
By Five to Four, they've changed the Rules,
“So
Segregation's back
in Schools!”
Piccadilly held a Car,
Explosive-filled, outside a Bar;
Al-Qaida wanted British Blood,
Thank God the damn Bomb was a Dud!
Oh Scooter's Silence at his
Trial,
Protected Cheney's Butt in
Style;
So George kept Libby out of Jail,
Which proves Bush Pardons are for Sale!
The Prison Term, Bush did commute,
Was done to keep old Scooter mute,
By
hiding Dick or George’s Name,
And their Involvement outing Plame!
This President’s the Worst of
all,
Watch History make the final
Call;
Corruption, War or Errors
vast,
George Bush, no Doubt, will end up
Last!
Bush treats our Prestige with Disdain,
Our Reputation’s down the Drain;
Now all our Allies hate us so,
Republicans have got to go!
Unending War, Corruption, Sleaze,
A Fight with Congress in the Breeze;
Bush at the Polls keeps going down,
Gonzales too still stays in Town!
We may never know which Liar,
Gave the Word to Lawyers fire;
Still Bush will fight to not reveal,
That he and Cheney blessed the Deal!
Now Bush and Cheney's hawkish View,
Has put us in this Iraq Stew;
Because some Bastards wave our Flags,
More Kids come Home in Body Bags!
Oh Bush is desperate one more Time,
Delusions make his Lies sublime;
So George proclaimed some Benchmarks done,
Then swore again,“The War’s been won!”
Bush chided Congress, "Do not prod,
In Things best left to me and God;
My Power's clear; I'm absolute,
So just obey and, yes, salute!"
This Conference on the Middle East,
Is ludicrous to say the Least;
Bush thinks that Condi's Elbow Grease,
Could conjure up a lasting Peace!
But why is
it a big Surprise,
Bush
did our World destabilize;
In
Pakistan or Palestine,
Old George deludes, “I
am sublime!”
Bush saber-rattles now and then,When bad News comes, George plays this Card,
“Those Terrorists are back again!”;
George rings that Nine-Eleven Bell,
And claims al-Qaida's here as well!
On Troop Withdrawal, a tragic Note,
Republicans just blocked the Vote;
They got us into Bush’s War,
But still the Public did ignore!
Still George keeps grabbing all the Press,
The Headlines spelling out his Mess;
Those Deaths in Baghdad or Helmand,
Sow Discontent across our Land!
Now George and Dick are
lying Jerks,
Who get their Way, yet
Nothing works;
Their Iraq
Surge is what we've got,
More Soldiers killed and all for
what?
Bush will not name an
ending Date,
He thinks his Mission’s going
great;
Republicans are just as
blind,
While Democrats stay in a
Bind!
Tonight’s the Night on
CNN,
When Clinton faces seven
Men;
Eight Democrats will all
debate,
So watch You Tube
determine Fate!
If Internet and Cable
join,
I guess we’ll have to
flip a Coin;
To see who runs for
President,
Or tries to undo
Bush’s Stint!
Gonzales now
vows that he'll stay,
At Justice, to fix, Disarray;
But still the Word “fix”
could just mean,
He'd castrate, neuter or demean!
Bush does not care if Polls are
down,
With Naught to lose, he
plays
the Clown;
"Clouseau George’s" War On
Terror,
Brought us all his "Reign of
Error!"
Democracy's
a dirty Word,
Since
George became our "Forty-third;"
America sustains the Loss,
Because Dick Cheney's Bush's Boss!
Dick Cheney’s Battery’s
running out,
They will replace it soon no Doubt;
A Shame though, Doctors can’t impart,
Plain Decency in someone’s Heart!
Koreans held by Taliban,
Will all be killed, because they can;
There’s nothing left that we can do,
Since Bush invaded, Jihad grew!
They'll shoot each Hostage, one by one,
I guess they think they’re having Fun;
This Travesty, by Taliban,
Is still the Nightmare Bush began!
"Insurgency's Not In The Throes,”
What Cheney’s
learned, nobody knows;
Dick just can’t grasp, he might be wrong,
So he
still sings George Bush’s Song!
They both keep claiming they know
best,
“That Iraq is the crucial Test!”
“We will bring Peace to Mideast
Soil,”
“Above all else, we’ll grab the Oil!”
The Cover-up, Rumsfeld
denied,
“Deep-sixed
the Facts how
Tillman died!”;
Don swears, “that they would not
conspire,”
“To hide this
Death from friendly Fire!”
“Mishandled,” is what
Rummy said,
But Truth is Truth and dead is dead;
To help their Cover-up,
so far,
They gave
poor Pat the Silver Star!
Yet still
their
Pattern has been
clear,
When Bush’s Cronies shed a Tear;
They lie, control, bad News
contain,
And
just tune out a Family’s
Pain!
Now Bush’s Henchmen, none too
soon,
Can break the Law and stay immune;
If George then pardons each Ally,
Karl Rove won't have to testify!
Though Steroid Athletes gain in Fame,
They're still not worthy of the
Game;
Bond's "whistlin' Dixie" at the
Park,
If he claims he's passed Aaron's
Mark!
McGwire and Bond’s Careers advanced,
Because they were Hormone Enhanced;
By cheering either’s Home Run Fete,
Our Kids will learn they too should cheat!
So Bush has called a special
Probe,
To halt the warming of our
Globe;
He’ll rant and rave or even
cuss,
Then set strict Rules for all but
us!
More Arctic Ice, this Year, did melt,
So
Global Warming has
been felt;
But Bush
still says, "There's Room for Pause,"
“al-Qaida just may be the Cause!”
Though People died 'neath Crandall’s Dirt,
Old Murray whines
and feigns he's hurt,
“It’s seismic this or seismic
that!”
Somehow I think we smell the Rat!
These Mine Disasters, you’re
aware,
Just
seem to happen everywhere;
In
Indiana, Utah, yet,
Bush
drones, “They’re all a Terror Threat!”
Two Hundred Thousand Weapons flee,
Still no one knows where they could be;
al-Qaida, Sunnis, Shiites, who?
The
Fault
of Bush's misled Crew!
Oh Rove went
on an Ego Spree,
And
likes to show off on TV;
Karl claims he was a White House Whiz,
But swears the Screw-ups were not his!
When Rove "rats
off" his sinking Ship,
With
Luck he'll take an endless Trip;
Good Riddance to Karl's Expertise,
And all his nasty Strategies!
Still
"Quagmire" Cheney pulled our Chain,
God knows his Damage will
sustain;
Dick
would this World, his Way, arrange,
Let’s hope the Voters vote a Change!
Yet who will
win nobody knows,
It’s Hillary, or worse, her Foes;
The sad Fact, though, whoever wins,
No
one can fix George Bush’s Sins!
Still
in this Land, of
untold Wealth,
George Bush says, "Screw our Children's
Health!"
He wants to kill Insurance Plans,
For Kids from middle-income Clans!
Those Nursing Home Funds, Bush would slash,
Will
feed his War with extra Cash;
Though
George puts God in every Prayer,
His
Actions show, he does not care!
Gonzales, too late, did resign,
He worships Bush, who is divine;
Al’s Politics, while undisguised,
Made Justice quite demoralized!
The Senate's Craig played Men’s Room Tricks,
Like
weird Creeps
do to get some Kicks;
Conservatives who'd tap their Feet,
Just
have to learn to take the Heat!
Craig picked up Paper from the Floor,
Then waved his Hand beneath the Door;
He’ll leave the Congress assuaged,
The Cop and he are now engaged!
Yet
GOP's are Homophobes,
Averse
to any Scandal Probes;
They once loved Foley, also Craig,
But now they’ll treat them both like Plague!
Such Hypocrites, this “Righteous Wing”,
Claim Moral Values are their Thing;
So watch Bush lie, with more in Store,
He'll escalate his goddamned War!
A
Tragedy, yet no Surprise,
That Bush still needs to polarize,
This Nation,
in myopic Style;
"He has
not done one Thing worthwhile!"
Now Libby, Rove, Gonzales too,
With Rumsfeld, Cheney, what a Crew;
They’ve lied
or screwed-up, by and large,
Just like the
"White House Man In Charge!"
Bush
pleads for Patience and Support,
As
Prelude to
his false Report,
Of
Iraq Gains, he'd overstate,
To
get us all to wait and wait!
So Bush just made a Grandstand Play,
To
visit Baghdad for one Day;
George
shook some Hands, then slapped some Backs,
Yet
hopes our Soldiers ignore
Facts!
Still
Craig admits
he could remain,
If Plea Reversal should
sustain;
Though Spector says, “Let’s wait
and see!”
What’s one more Pervert in DC?
Craig is not Gay and never
was,
It’s what he says, not what he
does;
And
if they rescind Larry's
Plea,
Don’t mind his Hand upon your
Knee!
At APEC, Bush supports the Pact,
“Polluters must clean up their Act!”
George told them all, “Be neat and kempt!”
“The USA, though, stays exempt!”
An Air Force Jet through Heavens
soared,
And crossed the US, Nukes aboard;
Embarrassed Brass just hit the Roof,
But no one knows who caused the Goof!
Fred Thompson’s Hat is in
the Ring;
A TV Star, for our West Wing;
He hates
all Migrants and most Gays,
Yet
wants the Middle East
ablaze!
When Bush says that he’d
Surge reduce,
As Usual, he’s playing
loose;
He’d have the Congress
cut him Slack,
Don’t hold your Breath
till Troops come back!
Iraq is still one big Morass,
Though Bush just said, “We’re kicking Ass!”
He’s never told the Truth, no how,
So why should we believe him now?
Petraeus paints a
fragile Scene,
To please his Boss, he won’t come clean;
It leaves our Soldiers under Fire,
And Bushwhacked in Iraq's Quagmire!
Bin Laden surfaced on TV,
To lecture his Morality;
His Motives,
creepy, though overt,
He
told the World, "You must convert!"
Like Humpty
Dumpty Iraq
fell,
Though Bush still thinks he's doing well;
More Soldiers cannot stop the Gore,
Nor put an End to Civil War!
Post World War I, Iraq
was formed,
And ever since, their Feuds have stormed;
Each Sunni, Shiite, Kurdish Clan,
Still hates George Bush's "Worm-filled" Can!
When George refused to History read,
He did not learn, “Don’t
intercede,”
“In Countries run by Tribal Rules,”
Or you’ll get trapped in Feudal Duels!”
But now that he can’t win the Peace,
Hostilities will never cease;
Because Bush did the World deceive,
There is no graceful way to leave!
A stubborn Bush will
tempt the Fates,
As Iraq now disintegrates;
Petraeus
and George both conspired,
To keep the Surge till they’ve retired!
Bush wants the War to drag on out,
That’s what his Speech was all about;
George said he plans to bring Troops back,
I’ll bet he thinks we all smoke Crack!
With just about a Year to go,
They’ll hold the Course, let Chaos grow,
Then jump the Ship, like sinking Rats,
And stick it to the Democrats!
The Housing Bubble’s sort of burst,
Yet Greenspan says,
“Bush is the
worst!”
Now
Iraq's Surge has got that
Smell,
And OJ's sitting in a Cell!
Las Vegas
did grave Charges file,
So Simpson's waiting for a
Trial
They said he'd rob, perhaps, kidnap,
It's
even Odds, he'll beat the Rap!
They just let Simpson out on Bond,
I guess he
waved his Magic Wand;
When OJ
autographed some Cards,
Bush sent a
Pardon, with Regards!
Protestors joined the Jena Six,
Bin Laden would Musharraf “fix”!
Those Democrats, Bush castigates,
Can’t pass Laws
so that War abates!
The Fed now warns they will say NO,
To Immigrants who'd need Chemo;
Yet Bush and Congressmen, what’s more,
Have Lifetime Benefits galore!
Most
Mimes may have much more to say,
Marcel Marceau has passed away;
Bip,
on his Deathbed, screamed at Bush,
“
!!!“
So Ahmadinejad came here,
To make some Speeches and to sneer,
“The Holocaust did not occur,”
“While
Israel is just a Blur!”
The latest from his Press Release,
States, “All my Nukes are meant for Peace!”
“And though we ship Arms to Baghdad,”
“Compared
to Bush, I'm not that bad!”
Mahmoud won’t cut us one damn Break,
Like George, leaves Debris in his Wake;
Though Iran’s Prez is pure Crackpot,
He’s better than the one we’ve got!
Yet Barry Bonds’ new Record Ball,
Was
stamped *ASTERISKED* after all;
It seems they
tried to just avoid,
The
use of Words like: CHEAT, STEROID!
No Kids’ Healthcare, though broken Bones,
As
well, Bush squeezes Student Loans;
He’d subsidize Tobacco Farms,
Yet still have Cash for War and Arms!
Our Federal Workers like
to buy,
Those First Class Tickets, when they fly;
But
we pay too for George’s Fun,
In
"Royal Class" on Air Force One!
The Congress passed a Healthcare
Bill,
Which Bush now vows that he
will
kill;
His Veto, sad, puts on the
Skids,
This Law whose Aim’s to help sick
Kids!
Isaiah
Thomas did
harass,
Some
Gal who stuck it up his
Brass;
They’ll now pay out big
Money, Heaps,
For
sexist, macho, Sports Star Creeps!
Bush shames our Nation with
his Sleaze,
Interrogating
Detainees;
His secret Papers still endorse,
That Torture,
George enjoys, of Course!
The Court ruled Craig, could not take back,
His Guilty
Plea, alas, alack;
Yet Larry said,
"that he'll
now
stay,
So he can Games
with Pages
play!"
When
Congressmen do break our Laws,
They keep
their Jobs despite their Flaws;
Though
some, like Craig, may get a Rush,
In Men’s
Rooms, watching Toilets flush!
Because his Life’s been all but scrapped,
Old Larry claims he was entrapped;
Appeal or not, Craig's
a Loser,
And a trolling Men’s Room Cruiser!
When
Things get tough, just place your Bets,
On Bush
to dole out Terror Threats;
“al-Qaida’s Men will soon arrive!”
George keeps those Flames of Fear alive!
By doing so, he’d just
divert,
Attention from the Pain
and Hurt,
Of Soldiers killed;
Mistakes he’s made;
Democracy's been so
betrayed!
Armenians have always tried,
To talk about their Genocide,
Which
Turks, of Course, would still deny;
Yet
how did all those People die?
Bush then
told Congress not to
state,
“That Turkey’s
History’s full of Hate!
George
claims, “The Turks would Kurds attack,”
“Or worse, could call their Envoy back!”
The Nobel Prize went to Al Gore,
For “Climate
Changes,” and
what’s more,
Both Bush
and Cheney whined and sobbed,
“We’re Men of Peace but
we wuz robbed!”
Retired, General Sanchez said,\
“Iraq is lost; so many dead!”
“We cannot win; we've hit the Wall!"
“Bush Leadership will
doom us all!"
Then Sanchez did not pull his Punch:
"The NSC's a dismal Bunch!"
"There's no quick Fix to Iraq's Plight!
"This
Nightmare's got no End in Sight!"
Oh Putin hates our Missile
Shield,
And Iran’s Nukes just will not
yield;
Now Turkey's
Bases are on Freeze,
So much for Bush’s
Policies!
Now all those Kids will just stay
ill,
Because they
got a bitter Pill;
A
mean Bush Veto sunk their
SCHIP,
As
Congress heeled to George's Whip!
Our Dalai Lama’s Medal
got,
The
Chinese Brass so very
hot;
I guess they really do
forget,
That they’re the ones who raped
Tibet!
So
Syria gets
Russian Grants,
And
China's building Iraq's
Plants,
While
Iran flexes
Muscles too,
There's
not a damn Thing Bush can do!
Rendition does Dick Cheney please,
He’d send all Suspects Overseas,
To Places where the Torture’s grim,
So they can’t trace it back to him!
Bush Language Skills are
somewhat moot;
His Leadership's
far from
astute;
No one would say, he’s
erudite,
Let’s face it Folks, he’s not
too bright!
Still George has taught us
Lots of Words:
"Rendition; Torture; Iraq; Kurds;"
"Surge; Deficits; Plame; Climate Change;"
Small Wonder why we all
feel strange!
Oh Simpson broke in with a Sack,
To steal his Memorabilia back;
And while he claims it was in Fun,
Las
Vegas says he used a Gun!
And though he set a cunning Trap,
OJ
still knows he beat the Rap,
For killing Goldman and Nicole;
He’ll now get Life without Parole!
Then Bush flew West, to see first
Hand,
The
burning Trees and Flame-scorched Land;
“These awful
Fires,” George would surmise,
“Were started
by bin Laden’s Guys!”
“And Santa Ana Winds, so hot,”
“Could be a damn al-Qaida Plot;”
“So give me Money for my War,”
“We’ll need at least $Three Trillion
more!”
Some Democrats now
have a
Plan,
To vote a Waterboarding Ban;
Though Bush and Cheney will
retort,
“It should be an Olympic Sport!”
The
House did pass a Children’s Bill,
That George is itching to make nil;
I’m sure we’ll see more Vetoes
signed,
Conservatives are just unkind!
Iran just warned us, “Don’t
attack!”
“Or you will get
a Quagmire back!”
“But Mahmoud,
we’re already stuck,”
“In Bush’s
Iraq War, you
Schmuck!”
Oh Russia's acting too damn
calm,
But
still helps Iran build their
Bomb;
We
seem hellbent, for what it’s
worth,
To let more Nukes blow
up our
Earth!
Mukasey’s Waterboarding
Stand,
Proves Cheney
leads him by the
Hand;
This Judge has got a fatal
Flaw,
If Torture’s not against the
Law!
George picked Mukasey ‘cause
he knew,
The Judge might
like some Torture too;
If Waterboards produce
a Stench,
They’ll change it to a Waterbench!
Called up by Rice’s Baghdad
Draft,
Our Diplomats are going
daft;
If they refuse, they will get
canned,
By Order of the High
Command!
Now
Pakistan still gets our Aid,
Despite Musharraf’s "Freedoms Raid,"
Against his
Critics, so we fear,
George, too, might like to do it here!
Gas Prices soaring at the Pump,
Though Housing’s in a dismal
Slump;
So Bush pipes
up, "I've got a Hunch,"
"al-Qaida’s caused the Credit
Crunch!"
Now Bhutto’s under House Arrest,
Which
shows Musharraf at his Best;
He
learned First Hand, from Bush you see,
Dick Cheney’s new Democracy!
Fred Thompson is the Pro-Life Choice,
They’d have an Actor be their
Voice;
“To stop
Abortion’s,” their Crusade,
And
put a Gun to “Roe v Wade!”
Oh Global Warming cannot be,
And Ice won’t melt into the Sea;
Those Droughts and Floods are somewhat rare,
Still
Bush and Cheney never err!
The
World's at Peace; most Turks love Kurds,
Iran
is next; Dick Cheney's Words;
The
Surge has worked; George Bush was right,
Four
Thousand dead; almost, not quite!
Our homeless Veterans face Defeat,
Now one in four sleeps in the Street;
A
shameless Bush, prays, safe and smug,
Yet
still sweeps Vets beneath his Rug!
Our wounded Vets, the VA
fails,
Though Bush ignores the fine
Details;
Still
$700 Billion more,
Are future Costs of Bush’s War!
Bush signed his Military Bill,
The $Trillions spent could make you
ill;
George wants to build a bigger Tank,
For War, he’d break the
goddamned Bank!
Still
GOP's and Bush would swear,
Off
Education and Healthcare;
So if his Veto does prevail,
Poor
Kids stay sick while more will fail!
Foreclosures doubled since last Year,
The
Markets quiver out of Fear;
Our
Seniors start to feel the Pinch,
As
Bush remains the Gas Price Grinch!
Bonds lied about his Steroid use,
While OJ faces Gun Abuse,
And
Lindsay Lohan likes Cocaine;
Celebrities are one
big Pain!
The Seas will rise four Feet or more,
Because of CO2
Galore;
First Global Warming gets a Yawn,
Then
Bush just turns his AC on!
A “DC Gun Law” will be
heard,
By Robert’s Court,
beyond
absurd;
These
"Right to Bear Arms"
Xenophobes,
Still
pack their Pistols ‘neath those
Robes!
Now Warren Jeffs, Polygamist,
Would force Child Brides
to join a Tryst;
He’s off to Jail, where he could find,
A Bunch of Bubbas close behind!
McClellan
said, "I did misspeak!"
"We
snowed the Press re: Val Plame’s Leak!"
"I
now know Bush and Cheney lied,"
"And, with Rove, took me for a Ride!"
But why’d McClellan wait so Long,
To tell the Truth to right Plame’s Wrong;
Most
Cynics say, by Hook or
Crook,
That
Scott just wants to sell his Book!
Bush
sure unleashed a Jihad Beast,
When he unhinged the Middle East;
George
spends more $Trillions, down the Drain,
With
Loss of Life and untold Pain!
Annapolis
hosts a Retreat,
Where Arabs, Jews, intend to meet;
George thinks
they'll have a friendly
Chat,
Our
naïve, first-time
Diplomat!
Still Evolution casts some
Doubts,
In Texas Schools, it’s
on the Outs;
Intelligent Design’s
gone wild,
And George Bush is their
Poster Child!
Oh Putin loves our Mideast Strife,
The
World Bank tossed old Wolfie out,
They
paid his Girlfriend well no Doubt;
Paul
conjured up Iraq's Attack,
So
Bush and Rice just brought him back!
Though
"Mass Destruction’s" his Forté,
Paul's
neoconic to Dismay;
He
caused a War, by telling Lies,
Yet sparked a Glint in Cheney’s Eyes!
A new Report, Bush now
rebukes,
“Iran had stopped from chasing
Nukes!”
So George will find some
lame Excuse,
To still turn all our
Cannons loose!
Before he leaves, we will attack,
Iran, just like we
did Iraq;
The George Bush Doctrine of “First Strike,”
Applies to Friends and Foes alike!
While Gates keeps lauding Iraq’s
Surge,
Musharraf would all Lawyers purge;
Those Subprimes have the Markets cursed,
And George still
claims Iran's
the Worst!
The Intell said Iran is clean,
Yet Bush just hates them, Sight unseen;
He’s never wrong, this stubborn Mule,
Who's
one big presidential Fool!
Scalia, Roberts, Bush’s
Pals,
Concur with Gitmo’s
Rationales;
They’d
both keep
Prisoners locked in Jail,
Where Justice, Fairness
can’t prevail!
A
STUDENT DOES HIS CLASSMATES SLAY
SOME
FOLKS WERE SHOT IN CHURCH TODAY
Each
awful Headline shocks and stuns,
Still
Cheney thinks we need more Guns!
This President, who’s so “faith-based”,
Does for his War our $Trillions waste;
He’s vetoed
Healthcare, one more Time,
So poor sick Kids won’t get a Dime!
And
while the Senate grasps at Straws,
This
White House stays above
our Laws;
Should Bolton,
Rove be in Contempt,
Just
watch George
claim they’re
both exempt!
Oh
Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire,
Took
Anabolic Steroids, dire;
No
Heroes, though, to tell the Truth,
Like
Maris, Aaron or Babe Ruth!
While Roger Clemens, so it
seems,
Used
Hormones too, to strike out Teams;
Cy
Young, at least, with much less Flair,
Just
did his best, both fair and square!
Too many Baseball Stars did
cheat,
Their
Honors won by pure
Deceit;
They've
all struck out, so I
suppose,
They should end up
just like Pete
Rose!
Though Waterboarding’s been ruled out,
Harsh
Questioning was left in Doubt;
Bush
knows that dead Men tell no Tales,
So now he'll use a Bed of Nails!
Those Tapes, the CIA
destroyed,
Would prove cruel Torture was
employed;
When Congress probes
and pins the Blame,
Please
watch the News for Bush's Name!
New Settlements, Olmert would build,
Will goad Hamas
and get Jews killed;
Their
Chance for Peace is all but shot,
A
friggin' Nightmare's what they've got!
Bush always thinks he's
doing fine,
Iran,
Iraq or Palestine;
He's
brought the Muslims to a Boil,
But still sucks up to Saudi Oil!
In
Pakistan, where Bhutto's dead,
Musharraf hangs on
by a Thread;
When will George learn,
it’s not his Call,
Democracy is not for
all!
Up
in the Hills, bin Laden
hides,
al-Qaida plots
to churn all Sides;
It
smells a Lot like Vietnam,
Now aren’t you glad they’ve got the
Bomb!
Still Rudy, Mitt or Huckabee,
Is this
Year's White House
Wannabee;
Each
Candidate deserves our Wrath,
Because
he'd stay on Bush's Path!
Oh Clinton leads as Romney
slips,
In Kenya,
“Ethnic Cleansing”
rips;
While
Pakistan is gripped with
Fear,
Watch Bush screw
up
again this Year!
In Iowa, Obama won,
Both he and Huckabee had Fun;
For Candidates, New Hampshire’s next,
With Clinton, Rudy quite perplexed!
The News gets worse from every
Side,
It’s Terrorists or
Genocide;
The
Fact
that Oil's a hundred
Bucks,
Proves Bush is bad and Congress
sucks!
Loud Snowmobiles in Yellowstone,
Roar through that Wildlife
refuge Zone;
With Cheney’s Pals in hot Pursuit,
Of Wolves and Elk, Dick
loves to shoot!
Both Bush and Cheney, not adroit,
Think Conservation means, “Exploit!”
Our Nation’s Parks
are theirs to spoil,
Where
they would hunt or drill for Oil!
Bush bought some Helicopters, new,
He's
spent Tax $ Billions for a Few;
Then George, in Style, can
fly somewhere,
But not one Cent for Kids’ Healthcare!
Our Court, Supreme, will ponder Pain,
Then
deem which Technique's most humane;
"Disgusting!"
vetting “How” to die,
The
better Question should be “Why?”
Electric Chair or Guillotine,
There’s
Firing Squad and Gas, Phosgene;
Perhaps
the Noose or Headsman’s Axe,
Injections
could cause Heart Attacks!
Scalia speaks
with Bush’s Voice,
“Defendants
don't deserve a Choice!”
“So what if they should jerk and
twitch!”
I’d bet he’d love to pull the
Switch!
New Hampshire
opted for McCain,
And
gave a Boost to his Campaign;
We still don’t know, what John is for,
Except
he's helped George Bush’s War!
Obama’s running Neck and Neck,
While
Hillary's
a nervous Wreck;
Those
Delegates, they both will chase,
Know Democrats are
in a Race!
Oh Iran’s Sailors
challenged us,
On open Seas, they’ve made a
Fuss;
Just why they did, I cannot
guess,
To
start a War or just impress?
Now Admiral Bush is on the
Deck,
He’ll sink those Persian Boats, by
Heck;
They’d better stop this Game of
Wits,
Or George will blow them all
to
Bits!
Oh Simpson
broke his Terms of Bail,
So
now he'll have to go to Jail;
He tried to coax his Gun Ally,
To change the Way he’d testify!
How many Crimes can Juice commit,
We know he’s never been legit;
Yet OJ's
always been so slick,
"Please
help me Johnnie Cochran, quick!"
So
Bush who’s on a Whirlwind Tour,
Declared,
"The World is more secure!"
And though he
states that Iraq’s great,
He’s $Trillions short and one Day late!
It's Iraq’s Progress Bush just
hailed,
He
can't admit that he has failed;
Four Thousand
dead; our Nation grieves,
And
all because old George deceives!
Now Bush proclaimed,
"
Iran’s a Threat!"
“They’d export Terror on a Bet!”
It sounds like Bush would justify,
Another War
with one more Lie!
So Bush, with all his Right Wing Charms,
Would
try to sell the Saudis Arms;
George told
each fellow Potentate,
"We've
got to Iran isolate!"
Bernanke, Bush may not
agree,
They’ve broken our
Economy;
But
now that George would like it
fixed,
I’m sure they'll send out Signals
mixed!
Each Candidate, from either Side,
Knows that the Truth is Suicide;
To be elected, is their Goal,
To win, one has to sell his Soul!
They can’t raise Taxes, yet we know,
This wasteful Spending's
got to go;
Why can’t we
say the War is wrong,
We’re trapped in Bush’s “Sing Along!”
With Primaries so very
near,
Those Wannabes would snarl
and sneer;
They’re slinging Mud and sometimes Rocks,
"Bend
over Folks and grab your Socks!"
Stock Prices dropping through the
Floor,
No Candidate will end the War;
Not one of them can stop our Pain,
Be Clinton or John
Novacaine!
No one can fix what Bush has
done,
The Mess he’s caused has just
begun;
There’s Global Warming,
Deficits,
Still Cheney's George is just the
Pits!
Now Bush's Speech was out to prove,
That all that's
good he did improve;
From his Perspective, Things are great,
This would-be King,
who’s second-rate!
His
Address, Union, did ignore,
The Middle
Class or Iraq’s War;
Though
George still thinks, as President,
He's
truly been magnificent!
Still we all know, the Dud we've
got,
Is
screwed up like a Clouseau Plot;
Yet
Bush
remains our White House Joke,
Who uses Mirrors...oh, yes, Smoke!
In Florida, the Votes were cast,
McCain took
First, poor Rudy, Last;
The Democrats picked Hillary,
Who
runs next Fall, let's wait and see!
Now Edwards dropped and Rudy
too,
Their Money’s gone, I guess they
knew;
When Super Tuesday
goes insane,
I’ll bet it’s Barack and
McCain!
Who’ll run with whom’s a Guess this Fall,
John Edwards could be Barack’s Call;
McCain's
Veep Choice should add some Spice,
Who else, of Course, but Condi Rice!
Still Romney smears McCain with Blame,
And Clinton, Barack, much the Same,
Each Candidate, who'd come in First,
Plays Politics still at its Worst!
So
each throws Insults or attacks,
While Issues fall between the Cracks;
And though it seems we can’t agree,
We’ve truly got Democracy!
Bush cites our Economic Woe,
Too
late, he finally seems to
know;
His Insights new, give Room for
Pause,
He’s not the Answer but the Cause!
Oh Super Tuesday’s almost here,
When
some will cry and others cheer;
The
one who
wins must take the Bit,
And
disarm Time Bombs Bush has lit!
Assured, McCain's
now fraught
with Glee,
He'll be his Party’s
Nominee;
Yet Democrats, with Guns
afire,
Just
keep on fighting to
the Wire!
Today’s the Day, both Parties choose,
Two Candidates to win or
lose;
So Talk Show Hosts can speculate,
While toying with our Country’s
Fate!
Though Super Tuesday’s over now,
The
Politics drags on somehow;
McCain's
the one his Party chose,
With
Clinton, Barack Nose to Nose!
Our screwed-up Presidential
Scene,
Could use someone who’s brash and
mean,
Ungracious, crude yet not too
bright;
Hey
why not Folks, there's Bobby
Knight!
Oh Romney’s Hopes are all but
gone,
While Huckabee hangs barely on;
McCain’s
ahead, but things look
tough,
For someone not Right Wing enough!
Obama’s got an even
Chance,
Though Clinton wears
her Husband's Pants;
The whole Thing’s boring,
yet we know,
We just can’t wait for
Bush to go!
McCain, his Party,
would unite,
While Democrats divide and fight;
If they can’t quickly compromise,
The GOP's could grab that Prize!
Republicans conspired to kill,
The Economic Boosting Bill;
They caused the Mess, the
World can see,
And now they’ve blocked the Remedy!
If we don’t throw these Dummies out,
For all the Crap, they’ve brought about;
Their Torture, War and Deficits,
Then like
George Bush, we're Idiots!
Yet Cheney’s been amiss
awhile,
Just
hiding deep beneath some
Pile;
He still
lays back, in
guarded Health,
This Veep of Darkness, Lurk and
Stealth!
Mitt Romney's quit the Race,
you see,
Which
makes McCain the
Nominee;
So when John dons his
Party’s Hat,
He’ll take on either
Democrat!
Iran’s Mahmoud did rave and rant,
“I’ll build another Atom
Plant!”
The Guy’s obsessed
yet not too tall,
Watch
out or he'll destroy us
all!
While Congress studies Steroid Use,
The Press reports there’s been Abuse;
If McNamee was truthful, damn,
Then Roger Clemens is a Sham!
Still Bonds had Hormones in his Pee,
When he hit Homer Seven Three;
So we're to blame, I must repeat,
For lauding Athletes who would cheat!
Now Romney did McCain endorse,
So he could be the Veep, of Course;
It moves their Ticket to the Right,
As Clinton and Obama fight!
Dick Cheney says, “We must
prepare!”
“We’ve got the
Answer, don’t despair!”
“To stop School
Shootings of your Sons,”
“I'd
arm all Students with Stun Guns!”
Gonzalez
fired Attorneys, six,
And played Karl Rove-Type Politics;
In Crawford, Bush just bets our Ranch,
Is Congress still an equal Branch?
The Serbs are losing Kosovo,
Who would have thought they’d let it go?
If Civil War is not the Call,
Watch Bush take Credit for it all!
But should there be a damn Blood Bath,
Watch Bush emote Disgust
and Wrath;
Still take him with that Grain of Salt,
When George says, "It’s al-Qaida’s Fault!"
So
old McCain could benefit;
As Barack, Clinton snarl
and spit;
These two just punch or kick and shout,
John hopes
they'll knock each other out!
In Africa, Bush offered Aid,
Malaria just will not fade;
He wants
to see the Kids there cured,
Yet Children here stay uninsured!
Obama’s Slogans were to share,
It’s Same “O”, Same “O”,
everywhere;
But
if you listened to the
Tapes,
Poor
Clinton’s Bitch is sour Grapes!
First Barack, Patrick’s Phrases prized,
Then Clinton charged he plagiarized;
So desperate now
is Hillary,
She’d use a Stock and Pillory!
Devisive, nasty, Rhetoric,
Would give McCain a mighty Stick,
To beat the Dems up, after
all,
So they could lose again this Fall!
Obama did Wisconsin
win,
Ten in a Row, could mean he’s in;
If Clinton can’t take O-hi-O,
Or Texas,
she should let it go!
Havana's
Castro
called it quits,
For Fifty Years, he gave us Fits;
So Limbaugh’s Puss now
has that Grin,
"It's Cuban
Stogie Time again!"
In Pakistan, Musharraf lost,
Opponents now would see him tossed;
He said, “I’ll heed the Voters’ Will!”
But that remains to be seen still!
In Belgrade, Mobs
of Serbs attacked,
Our Embassy, on
Fire, ransacked;
They blamed us for, like we don’t know,
An independent Kosovo!
Miloševic did Ethnic cleanse,
Czar Putin hasn't
many Friends;
Albanians are in a Stew,
I wonder what George Bush will do!
“Protection’s gone for
Wolves,” Bush said,
So
Cheney’s Pals can shoot them dead;
“Endangered Species taste quite sweet,”
Besides, George quipped, "They’re fun to eat!"
Obama’s running
out in Front,
Now Clinton's getting
set to Punt;
I wish she’d stop her slinging Mud,
It’s going over with a Thud!
More Innuendo, Insults, Smear,
From Politicians, spreading Fear;
Just personal, is what we've got,
The Issues, somehow, matter not!
Oh Nader’s jumped into the Race,
Between his Ears, there’s just
Green Space;
He cannot win, so why’d he run,
I'll bet Ralph
still thinks "spoiling's" Fun!
“Experience,
Obama lacks,”
Says Clinton in today’s Attacks,
“Could make him just a bit untoward,”
“He’s never even been a Broad!”
“Republicans will still prevail,”
Bush says “This Fall we cannot fail!”
“We’ll keep the White House four Years more,”
”The People love
my friggin' War!”
In Beijing, China’s serving Rice,
So Condi's
there and making
nice;
While
New York's Philharmonic sings,
It's
Pyongyang pulling all the Strings!
Oh North Korea's Press did mute,
Our New York Philharmonic's Toot;
So let's just
hope, that Culture wins,
Their People over, not the Spins!
Still Hillary’s so
harsh and shrill,
It trumps Experience and
Skill;
If she can’t beat McCain this Fall,
Make sure
Obama gets the Call!
When Rich Men think that War is
Fun,
Then they should ask a Poor Man’s
Son!
Prince Harry’s in Afghanistan,
With none from Bush or Cheney’s
Clan!
Oh all these Ads still play on Fears,
That Barack’s “wet behind the Ears”;
Which then could backfire, if it’s told,
That Hillary's
a Bit too old!
Now Rush’s Pals will vote
today,
For Hillary, to make her stay;
Then she can drive Barack insane,
And bloodied up, for John
McCain!
Watch
Democrats, in Texas, fight,
Ohio, too, will
know tonight;
The Irony of Limbaugh’s Con,
Is
Clinton still could not
beat John!
While Limbaugh would Elections fix,
His Party’s mastered dirty Tricks;
Remember, though, who runs
their Show,
It's Cheney, Rove and Bush,
you know!
I've always wondered which Group's worse,
Misogynists, who Women curse,
Or Racists, who Skin
Color fear;
The Democrats face both this Year!
Beware that Vote for John McCain,
Or we could get more Bush-like Pain;
Despite John’s Fire, his Record shows,
He's
George Bush, giftwrapped, in Sheep’s Clothes!
So
Fleischer told old Larry King,
“I just
don't miss the White House Thing!”
“Except for George,” he then went on;
But we can’t wait till Bush is gone!
Our Waterboarding Ban’s in Doubt,
The
Constitution’s gone to Pot,
"Due
Process” isn’t worth a Lot;
While Bush thinks
Torture’s quite all right,
There's still no
goddamned Oversight!
The Co$t each Month of
BU$H'$ WAR,
Twelve Billion
Buck$, but what’$ it for?
The price of Ga$, when
George came in,
Buck Forty $ix, REPUBLICAN!
Now
Spitzer paid some Hooker well,
This Governor's corrupt, do tell;
He made his Bones, by fighting Crime,
A Hypocrite, who
deals with Slime!
While
Eliot just fell from Grace,
He can't do much for saving Face;
Though
Details of his Sins were vague,
At least he’s not a Larry Craig!
Now Clinton did Barack invite,
"Come
join my Ticket in the Fight,"
"Then
we can win against McCain,"
"But I'll be Boss," was her
Refrain!
Obama answered swift and sure,
"Hey,
I'm ahead and lead the Tour,”
“And I intend to win this Race,”
"So no Way I’ll take second Place!”
Ferraro covered Clinton’s
Back,
Said, “Barack leads because he’s
Black!”
With Race and Gender, now on
Hold,
McCain, perhaps,
is too damned
old!
Now
OJ Simpson’s Trial’s
delayed,
“To give him
Time,” the Judge
conveyed;
Kidnapping, Theft, more Guns and
Fights,
But can he keep the Movie
Rights?
Our
White House Staff stays in a Fog,
They’ve played dumb Games reducing Smog;
The Ozone Sickness they
won’t fix,
Proves Bush and Science just don’t mix!
Now
Condi Rice may still insist,
That Chavez is a Terrorist;
She’s asked the Joint Chiefs, Plans be made,
In Case, Bush says we must invade!
This Congress loves Earmarks and Pork,
No Spending Cuts as Taxes
torque;
Let’s give them all a big Bronx Cheer,
It’s Politics – Election
Year!
Bush says, “I'm really in my Prime,”
“And getting
better all the Time;”
“The Market Drop
was just bad Luck,”
This President is such a
Schmuck!
“Iraq is stable
and at Peace,”
“It seems my
Wonders never cease;”
“At
least we've
killed the Middle Class,”
"Alaska's
where we'll drill
for Gas!”
“The Cherry
Blossom’s early Bloom,”
“Is not a Cause for Doom and Gloom;”
“There is no Global Warming here,”
“It’s only Al Gore spreading Fear!”
So
Bush keeps stringing us
along,
His Policies have all been
wrong;
Republicans
don't have a
Clue,
That what George says is just
not true!
And now John claims al-Qaida may,
Just tip the Scales, Election Day;
They’d step up Raids, McCain
to hurt,
To knock him out, his Votes divert!
Still GOP’s, Bin Laden use,
To hide their Sins, confound, confuse;
Incompetence, by any Name;
Gets lost, when they, al-Qaida blame!
So Cheney's slunk out from the Dark,
To take another
Baghdad Lark;
When at the Scene, of his damn Crime,
Dick
made these Claims still one more Time:
“Iraq’s Campaign’s a great Success!”
“We cleaned up Saddam’s Weapons Mess!”
“The Middle East
is nice and calm!”
“Bear Stearns is no Cause for Alarm!”
Darth
Cheney's using Broker's Words,
With
Shiites, Sunnis and the Kurds;
Beware
this Veep, he still deceives,
By making Deals, for when
Bush leaves!
Though Global Warming, makes you
sweat,
There’s Darfur, Pakistan,
Tibet;
Investment Banks are on the
Brink,
And Bush could make our Country
sink!
With high-priced Gas and Guns
in Gobs,
Polluted Air and offshored
Jobs;
The Bushies think that they should rule,
If you agree then you’re a
Fool!
McCain and Bush, in an Address,
Claim
Iraq’s War’s a great
Success;
Their Messages, choked
up with Hope,
Prove both of them are
smoking Dope!
Four
Thousand dead, in six sad Years,
George Bush is worse than our worst Fears;
With $Trillions spent, there’ll be much more,
Because of his damn endless War!
Republicans did
rail
last Night,
To nail Obama’s Pastor
Wright;
The Goal
of their Attack Campaign,
They know Barack can beat McCain!
McCain thinks Iraq’s
going great,
Both he and Bush are second rate;
They’ll bankrupt us, as sure as Sin,
To fight their War that we can’t win!
Clinton, Braggart
or a Liar,
Just told Tall
Tales of Sniper Fire;
So please, with Bush’s Precedent,
We need one truthful President!
Tenacious
Clinton, to save Face,
Would make Obama lose
this Race;
She'll do to Barack’s Final
Score,
What Nader did to poor Al
Gore!
But Clinton's vowed she still
won't quit,
Although she could her Party
split;
Republicans hope she remains,
That Way the
White House is McCain’s!
"Defining Moment,"
George just said,
"Iraqis fighting till
they’re dead!"
Saddam had stopped their
Civil War,
Then Bush unleashed it
ever more!
Yet
Bush would talk with Putin now,
And thinks it makes Amends somehow;
His dreadful Legacy’s foregone,
Like Hitler’s and the Autobahn!
With Baghdad’s
Green Zone under Fire,
Sadr, in Basra,
did conspire,
To make more Bombs and Soldiers slay;
Bush swears his Purge has saved
the Day!
So Bush would build his Chertoff Fence,
For Migrants who make Lou Dobbs tense;
Tomatoes, then, will sell around,
Fifteen to Twenty Bucks a Pound!
Some 80,000 Jobs were
slashed,
Our Housing Market’s all but
crashed;
The Price of Gas has gone Sky
high,
And George Bush is the Reason
why!
They’ll Brokerage Houses
regulate,
To guarantee old Wall Street’s
Fate;
When greedy Bankers sell their
Soul,
Our Government just keeps them
whole!
So why'd McCain not honor King,
I hope it’s not a racist Thing;
But then John nayed the Torture Ban,
I’d bet, like Bush, he'd bomb Iran!
Polygamy is
quite OK,
To Warren Jeffs and
his Array;
Inside
their Compound, where they hide,
Old Men seduce
each Teenage
Bride!
It’s Pedophilia, with Consent,
To them, it's called a
Sacrament;
Yet GOP’s can not explain,
Why Warren Jeffs endorsed
McCain!
Obama just got Fonda’s
Nod,
Which some may think's
the Curse of God;
Though John was there, with
Hanoi
Jane,
She says she still can't
stand
McCain!
With Mega $Millions from his Wife,
McCain would live the Rich
Man's Life,
Yet won’t support the Dispossessed,
Nor Veterans, who are sick or stressed!
“Boycott Beijing,” Ms.
Clinton said;
She then told Bush, “Stay Home instead!”
“First Human Rights, and now Tibet,”
“Besides, they’re buying up our Debt!”
The Clintons' Aide, Mark Penn, got sacked,
He lobbied for a Bush Trade Pact;
This angered Bill and Hillary,
Who’d have no Imports Tariff free!
The Torture in our Jails abroad,
Or $Billions spent in Contract Fraud,
Proves Justice Politics perverse;
Gonzales bad, Mukasey worse!
“The Economy
will soon rebound!”
According to our Bush, profound,
“Of Course, there is no Credit Squeeze,”
“And, yes, the Moon is made of Cheese!”
Petraeus, Cheney, Bush,
McCain,
All sing off-key, the same
Refrain:
“The Surge will
work; it's just begun!”
“We love this
War; it's so much fun!”
Petraeus would our Soldiers keep,
I
guess he's just a George Bush Creep;
This General
still thinks he can win,
But so did old Napoleon!
Now Bush would drill the Bering Sea,
For Oil and Gas he thinks are
free;
“More Energy’s my greatest Wish,"
"So what's a few less Whales
or Fish!”
So
Bush forgets the Valdez
Spill,
And all the Creatures they
did kill;
While Conservation’s not his
Thing,
It seems that Profit still is
King!
Obama made "Small
Town" Remarks,
And got attacked by all the Sharks;
Then Clinton whined, “Elitist Boor!”
Though she’s $100 Million poor!
Now Hillary put Barack down,
So she could wear that White House Crown;
Yet should the Voters Barack shun,
Then Clinton's
McCain’s Hired Gun!
I guess these two Foes
just can’t see,
That George Bush is the Enemy;
If soon they don’t one Person choose,
The Democrats will surely lose!
The
Papal visit still goes on,
He’s
met with Clinton, Barack, John;
Sex
Victims, he has made Amends,
The Pope
and Bush are now best Friends!
Yes, Benedict’s a Man of Peace,
He's prayed the World all Wars would cease;
The UN’s where he made a Speech;
I wish we could George Bush impeach!
So Drivers pay more
at the Pump,
With Clinton, Barack on the Stump;
Yet Congress plays the Earmarks Game,
And Bush, alas, is still the same!
Injections, lethal, won
Support,
Not Justice from
the
Robert’s Court;
Scalia thinks they’re too
humane,
He’d rather Inmates writhe
in Pain!
This Texas Sect could sing the Blues,
If Tests don't show whose Kids are whose;
Yet DNA might prove the Case,
They’re Aliens from Outer Space!
Sad Refugees from Iraq fled,
And starve in other Lands instead;
Why should the U.S. even care,
Perhaps because we pushed them there!
Hamas and Carter met
today,
He hoped that Peace could come our
Way;
Yet Condi bitched to
cause a
Fight,
Which proves indeed that Jimmy’s
right!
McCain and Graham would deep-six
still,
The “Webb and Hagel Veteran’s
Bill”;
On Veteran's
Aid, John turns his Back,
He'd
keep our Soldiers in Iraq!
For
Seniors or a Child’s Welfare,
McCain and Bush don't really
care;
John claims to be a Moderate,
His Record's just the Opposite!
McCain, the War, would still pursue,
But then he’d cut our Taxes too;
He’s like George Bush beyond our Fears,
So if John wins, it’s “Four More Years!”
Strategic Oil, by Bush, gets stashed,
While new Home Sales have truly crashed;
The War goes on; Food Prices
soar,
Conservatives still hate
Al Gore!
When Gore, the Nobel People, met,
Al spoke of Global Warming’s Threat;
Yet Bush still thinks it’s all
a Crock,
Which shows he's
dumber than a Rock!
This U.S. Crisis, Stiglitz blames,
On Bush and Greenspan’s Money Games;
Despite Tax Cuts, they'll spend
and spend,
For George’s War that will not
End!
Now Bush and Cheney could care
less,
About their Food and Gas Price
Mess,
The Reason why, is plain to
see,
For these two Bozos, both are
free!
A racist Speech by Reverend Wright,
Gave Barack’s Critics Byte
Delight;
These Bigots, though, who’d do
him in,
Don't want to see a Black Man win!
Obama then said he was sick,
Of Pastor Wright’s mean
Rhetoric;
Yet Politics is not much Fun,
When Smear takes hold, the Harm's
been
done!
Five Years ago, this very
Day,
George Bush had something wrong to
say,
“We’ve won the
War; I’m so astute!”
“I
love to wear my Pilot's Suit!”
Now Barack claims the humblest Roots,
And Clinton
wears the Family’s Boots,
While McCain’s Wife's Budweiser’s Heir;
All Three are rich beyond Compare!
So who's more privileged, is inane,
Obama, Clinton or McCain;
For
Candidates, as we all know,
Humility is just for Show!
McCain and Clinton, no Surprise,
Would cut Obama down to Size;
“Elitist” is their new Attack,
I'll bet they'd even say he’s black!
With Bush’s Reputation shot,
Poor John McCain would rather
not,
Stay close to George, whom
people hate;
But Siamese Twins can’t
separate!
Our Country’s full of nervous Wrecks,
So Bush sent out some Rebate Checks;
With Markets down; a War to fight,
The Schmuck thinks Cash can make Things right!
The Gas Tax Clinton would abate,
And then Iran obliterate;
She'll
fight Obama’s Rationale,
Which makes her McCain's new
best Pal!
Oh Clinton
vows that she will stay,
She’s not the Type who goes away;
We know she’s bound to hang
around,
Until she drags poor Barack down!
This President’s beyond Belief,
It’s seven Years without
Relief;
Bush never keeps his mangled Word,
I'll bet he thinks he's George
the Third!
When Clinton stops her sharp
Attack,
Swiftboaters would
pick up the Slack;
“Obama,” they’ll say, “is that
Jew,”
“Who really
started World War II!”
And then there'll be a Bunch of Guys,
Who'd
buy into the nasty Lies;
Yet Smear or Innuendo works,
When heard or spread by bigot Jerks!
For
Candidates, it's apropos,
That they should Tax and Income show;
Good Ms. McCain, with Nerves of Steel,
Would not her Tax Returns reveal!
Bush
made another Veto Threat,
"The Housing Bill for Folks in Debt;"
A heartless George no Help would give,
Yet he's still got a Place to live!
To Pakistan, Bush did assign,
A General who would toe the
Line;
They threw the Bastard
out,
you know,
Because he ran Guantánamo!
Bush states, “There
is no Climate Change,”
“Those Doomsayers are all so strange!”
“They’d even have us wash the Soil,”
“What’s more they’d stop our using Oil!”
McCain now says, “Al Gore was right,”
“About the Global Warming Blight!”
“The Problem’s worse than it appears!”
So where’s John been these past eight Years?
He
then declared that he’ll arrange,
An all-out Fight 'gainst Climate Change;
But John could help, if he’d prepare,
His Speeches, using, less Hot Air!
Obama leads with Delegates,
While Hillary has Hissy Fits;
Though West Virginia’s Clinton’s Place,
She won it big because of Race!
So Bush charged Barack would appease,
All Terrorists and Muslim Sleeze;
The Truth, though, George just won’t address,
Is he’s the one who caused the Mess!
McCain's just Bush’s Protégé,
Who has the Gall to somehow say:
“We still can win this Iraq War,”
“But it will take us four Years more!”
The Saudis see no Reason why,
They should increase our Oil Supply;
When Prices soar, their King insists,
It
helps them fund the Terrorists!
McCain and Bush still
monger Fear,
For Politics again this Year;
With Smear and Lies, their War that’s cursed,
Republicans have done their Worst!
Bush still's a diplomatic Dud,
His Mideast Trip was one big Thud;
Israelis, George, just schmoozed
with Praise,
While scolding Arabs for their
Ways!
Obama’s Comments irk
McCain,
As Clinton’s Chances start to
wane;
The Primaries are almost
done,
November 4th, we’ll know
who’s won!
McCain showed Humor on TV,
By saying “Oldness”
was for free;
John quipped about advancing Age,
But would Iran in War engage!
These Lobbyists
with John McCain,
Have just been fired from his
Campaign;
They've all made $Millions in D.C.,
Corrupting Congressmen, you
see!
Our Language warned us Years
ago,
About the Things that we now
know;
Bush League, Bushwhacked or just
plain Bushed,
Foretold,
alas, we'd be
amBushed!
The Crowds diminish Day by Day,
So why won’t Clinton go away;
Her hanging in, which hurts us
all,
Will help McCain to
win next
Fall!
Although Bush did McCain
endorse,
Let's hope John
steers a different
Course;
And if he would
more Voters please,
He’d best treat George like some
Disease!
McClellan swears he was
mislead,
By many Things the
White House
said;
"The President was not 'forthright',"
"But
Rove and Libbey lied outright!"
So Scott's Memoir is not too nice,
To Cheney, Rove or Condi Rice;
"All they have touched, has turned to Crap,"
"And Bush deserves to take the Rap!"
Now Limbaugh
and this White
House Bunch,
Are "puzzled"
by
McClellan’s Punch;
They're whining "Scott's
regrettable!"
But we
know who's more
credible!
Bush swears, "I'll veto any Bill,"
"Reducing Gas Emissions, still,"
“And though
my Brain feels somewhat strange,”
“I don't believe in Climate Change!”
Though
Hillary has shed a Tear,
She’ll help Obama win this Year;
Between the two,
they’ll have the Clout,
To shut McCain and George Bush out!
John yaks about supporting Troops,
When boasting to our Service Groups;
Yet Benefits or raising
Pay,
McCain has always voted "Nay!"
Her Candidacy has reached its
End,
So Clinton’s found a new best
Friend;
Her Motives, though, are none too
deep,
She’d like to be Obama’s
Veep!
So Bush misused Iraq
Intel,
And blocked the Climate Bill, as
well;
Republicans just can’t
explain,
Why we should vote for John
McCain!
McCain has only just
begun,
And said he won’t from George Bush
run;
It’s four more Years of Crap,
perhaps,
Because John likes those
Wiretaps!
When Bush, the Issue, did define,
McCain's Votes toed the Party Line;
The two of them are just like Twins,
Let’s hope for Peace Obama wins!
The Jobless Rate’s a three Year
high,
Five Dollar Gas will soon be
nigh;
Our Soldiers fight a living
Hell,
Republicans think Things
are swell!
The Dow is down Four Hundred Points,
The Housing Market disappoints;
The Climate Bill's in Disarray,
So
Bush took one more Holiday!
“We’ll increase
Spending; reduce Tax!”
“Make Plans
to thwart Iran's Attacks!”
“Send
in our
Troops, so Oil can flow!”
McCain’s like Bush, more than you
know!
Republicans, "Big
Oil," brown-nosed,
"The Windfall
Profits Tax" got hosed;
Gas Money bribes the
GOP,
And greases Campaign
Palms, you
see!
Now Bush told Rove, "It's Time to go!"
“My new Guy, Bolton, runs the Show!”
In Church, is where George dropped the Clue,
When "Revelations" shared the Phew!
The Senate, too, has blocked a Bill,
That Climate Change could make us ill;
So what’s a Drought; Tornado's
Breeze,
Torrential Rains or
rising Seas!
If Greenhouse Gases don’t exist,
Why should we, fossil Fuels, resist?
When Ice Caps melt, it’s no big Deal,
We've Bush and Cheney at the Wheel!
So Bush once more, Iran, did
warn,
“Behave
yourselves or reap my Scorn!”
“We will not
meet; we will not talk;”
“When will you
learn, I am a Hawk!”
“Your Nu-cleer Games have us dismayed!”
“Your-ranium is Weapon’s Grade!”
“I won’t rule out a sudden Strike,”
“But tell Mahmoud to take a Hike!”
An
uncaged Tiger won again,
In Golf, he’s still the Best of Men;
Perhaps Obama should tempt Fate,
And choose Woods for his running Mate!
In Europe, Bush bid fond Farewell,
George speaks their Language really well;
When he retires, his first Concern,
Will be to try and English learn!
The Price of Oil will go up
more,
So Bush would like to drill
Offshore;
He'd
have the Congress go
along,
Old George
is never, ever wrong!
The World could use another
Spill,
Just
think of all the Birds they'll kill;
This
President, with whom we're blessed,
Won't
hesitate to foul our
Nest!
Atomic Plants, McCain would build,
Could see our Power Needs fulfilled;
He’d use it as a Statesman’s Tool,
And have Iran enrich the Fuel!
Our Deficit, for all to see,
Is due to Bush’s GOP;
And though they’ve caused the Housing Grief,
Republicans still bar Relief!
As Mississippi Levees strain,
Bush did his
Fly-by once again;
If stopping Floods is George’s
Goal,
He knows where he can plug the Hole!
McCain and George stay intertwined,
John’s Senate Votes were Bush aligned;
He says he differs, yet somehow,
It’s too damn late to claim that now!
Now where's
McCain
been all this Time,
To him, clean Air was
never prime;
But high priced Gas has hit the Scene,
So John, for Votes, is turning Green!
The News is full of stupid
Quotes,
Like, “Race may cost Obama
Votes!”
These past eight Years were
worse than Sin,
So Bushies don’t deserve to
win!
McCain’s Advisor bragged with
Glee,
“A new Attack’s a
Guarantee!”
“If Terrorists
should start a Brawl,"
“Then John can
only win next Fall!”
This Nine-Eleven Gambit
failed,
Their Use of Fear was fast
curtailed;
The Backlash came as no
Surprise,
So John made Black apologize!
McCain, who’s soft on
Energy,
Would now go on a drilling Spree;
While Big Oil grins and
licks their
Chops,
John wants to pull out all the
Stops!
Exploring Offshore’s truly
sick,
It only makes our Beaches
slick,
So we'll become an Oil-soaked
Dump,
With no Price Savings at the
Pump!
Now Bush’s Court did opt for
Guns,
So we can own them by the
Tons;
The Constitution
guarantees,
Our Right
to shoot Folks as we
please!
Each State and Town just
cannot stop,
Those Weapons bought in any
Shop,
Or even on the
Internet;
The more Guns sold, the more Guns yet!
Alito and the NRA,
Would have us armed, while
Bullets spray;
It’s bang, bang, bang or
rat-tat-tat,
The Law’s the Law and that is
that!
If you don’t want to shoot a Gun,
For Self-defense, or having Fun,
Then you should use, if
you're not lax,
A good old-fashioned, big blunt Ax!
His “lame Duck” Status held him back,
And stopped Bush from a
real
Attack;
So George revved up his backup Plan,
Of covert Acts inside
Iran!
Hirsch
then said, "Bush, before he's
gone,"
"Will start a War and
bomb Tehran;"
"So when George leaves, with
any Luck,"
"Poor John or Barack will
be stuck!"
Republicans just
lie and smear,
Say
anything to win this
Year:
"McCain is tall, a Veteran
too,"
"Obama’s gay, a
Muslim-Jew!"
“Barack
is not a Patriot,”
“As President, the
Guy's not fit;”
“They say he uses Crack-Cocaine,”
“So vote
for Hero, John McCain!”
Bush signed his War Bill one more
time,
While Congress helped commit his
Crime;
The $Billions spent are
662,
How many dead before they're
through?
So many Homes are
being lost,
They’ve offshored
Jobs, but at what Cost;
While Thousands more are
unemployed,
Our Way of Life could
be destroyed!
Watch GM going down the Chute,
With Ford and Chrysler, in Pursuit;
Toyota now can snap the Whip,
All due to Bush’s
Leadership!
Gas $Price per Gallon’s
over four,
Soon five or six or
even more;
This Fall, make sure
your Vote’s astute,
And give the GOP the Boot!
Iran, the Persian Gulf,
could close,
But Admiral Bush would
them, oppose;
Should Mamoud blink or
try to cheat,
Old George will sink this
Pipsqueak's Fleet!
Israeli’s may, the Persians
smash,
To cauterize their A-Bomb
Cache;
Still Russia, China will have
Fits,
With Bush’s
Jewish
Surrogates!
Mean, Jesse Helms
has finally died,
He took those Commies in his Stride;
He battered Gays, fought Civil Rights,
And led the Senate to low Heights!
So Bush just lauded Right-winged
Helms,
The Gesture really underwhelms;
Old Jesse was a "Man of Hate”,
Yet George still says the Guy was great!
George Bush’s Screw-ups still
abound,
As President, he's one
bad Clown,
With each new Day, another Goof;
The next two Verses show more Proof:
There's Global Warming, Iraq’s War,
Those heating Bills could make you poor;
More
offshored Jobs; Katrina’s
Stress,
Though Cheney too helped cause the Mess!
Iran builds Bombs; our Veterans hurt,
The Housing Market’s eating Dirt;
At Gitmo, Torture’s doing well,
Republicans can go to Hell!
Then Dick did toss the Blanket, wet,
"So CO2 is not a Threat!"
"While Global Warming’s just a Myth!"
And that's the Line, they're
sticking with!
The G8 waffled on Controls,
Then set no Global Warming Goals;
Yet, as for Darfur’s
Genocide,
They pushed that
Issue to the Side!
Now Jackson whispered off-Mic
Cracks,
“Obama talks down
to most Blacks!”
But then he bounced Folks off the
Walls,
“I’d like to cut
off Barack’s Balls!”
Bush got his new surveillance Bill,
When Congress caved to George’s Will;
Be careful what you say or do,
“Big Brother” could be watching you!
In Lebanon, Hezbollah
rules,
Yet in Iran, more
Missiles cruise;
Still Talibans, al-Qaidas
lurk…
See Bush’s Policies at
Work!
Bush thinks his Vetoes are a Treat,
He’d put the Foreclosed on the Street;
A heartless Putz, who’d Pain inflict,
Let’s from the White House, George evict!
Bush Pakistani
Allies, blunt,
Won't
let us dare bin Laden hunt;
Inside their Borders,
there’s a Ban,
al-Qaida thrives because they
can!
While Marble tells another Tale,
How
Terrorists will still prevail;
From Quarries high, friend Pakistan,
Pays
Tribute to the Taliban!
Bush proves he's not the King of
Fools,
By lifting Off-shore Drilling
Rules;
He’d kill the Fish, our Beaches
spoil,
But still
make $Millions from the
Oil!
“NEW YORKER” Folks have
caused great Strife,
By satarizing Barack’s Wife;
They've painted her
Black Activist,
It’s hard to laugh when you are pissed!
Obama's dressed in Muslim clothes,
A burning Flag, in Fireplace, shows;
When Covers pose such
awful Taste,
The Editors should
be replaced!
So Vanity's
fair Magazine,
Knocked off "NEW
YORKER'S"
Cover, mean;
McCain,
with Walker, has Tourette’s,
While Cindy's
decked in hot pink
Sweats!
Mukasey would al-Qaida
scare,
By having Congress, War,
declare;
Then Bush could throw away the
Keys,
And jail those
Folks who'd dare to sneeze!
In
Beijing, as Bush watches Games,
He can't pronounce
most Countries’ Names;
George blasted
China's Human Rights,
Though Gitmo or Rendition Sites!
Now Russia, Georgia went
to War,
With Separatism at the Core;
The
World knew Putin would attack,
Those Soviets want their Empire back!
Yet Bush, who
grins, is unaware,
That Georgians face the
Kremlin Bear;
Without E.U. or U.S. Aid,
They'll never stop this Russian
Raid!
Our
President, with Scowl and Frown,
Has
told the Russians to stand
down;
Bush
likes to act so very
tough,
But Putin knows it’s all a
Bluff!
So Russia played it fast and
loose,
And just like Bush, they broke
the Truce;
We
are the Georgians' Allies,
though,
It isn’t worth two Cents, you
know!
Endangered Species
Act offends,
Developers and Cheney's Friends;
So Bush contends it's
good to kill,
Each Polar
Bear or Ivory Bill!
If Critters, threatened, should decrease,
Dirk Kempthorne would Protection cease;
Snail Darters or the Spotted Owl,
This White House smells
like something foul!
Yet Judge Mukasey still defends,
Those Partisans who’d hire Friends;
At Justice, Mike’s got Bush’s Back,
Like any other White House Hack!
The
GOP's play Karl Rove's Trick,
They claim McCain's a Maverick;
But if you buy
it, you're a Sap,
It's four more Years of Bush-like Crap!
Now Clinton's Backers won’t give
in,
They still can’t take Obama’s
Win;
Republicans, the Reaper,
ducked,
Watch
Democrats just
self-destruct!
Bush chastised Russia, "You're at Fault!"
"Now
stop your Georgian Tank Assault!"
But
Putin, of Course, was not swayed,
Because George did Iraq invade!
Though Biden’s
Barack’s running Mate,
McCain’s new Ads still both berate;
The GOP thinks Smear’s more Fun,
Than taking Blame for what they’ve done!
McCain claims Clinton was passed by,
And Barack snubbed her on the Sly;
If John believes that, take
the Leap,
And make the
Lady his next Veep!
Yet if McCain picks Condi
Rice,
To give his Ticket needed
Spice;
Those Voters, who'd hate Gals or
Blacks,
Will all stay Home with Heart
Attacks!
Democracy could soon be gone,
If you should vote for “No-Change John”;
So if you’re tired of Pain,
no Gain,
Then choose O’Bama not McCain!
Oh Cheney’s off to Georgia
now,
He's
left his hiding Place,
somehow;
Dick wants to let the Russians
know,
That
he can help their Pipelines
flow!
So Clinton’s asked for
Unity,
Her Speech was great, as all
did see;
Now GOP’s must still
decide,
How best to Democrats
divide!
These past eight Years were oh
so sad,
Republicans were worse than
bad;
Yet John, who'd claim the inside
Track,
Could win because Obama’s
black!
Those Speeches last Night came on strong,
They all proclaimed McCain
was wrong;
And though Barack’s a Man of Grace,
He still might lose, because
of Race!
Still
Fox spreads Smears, sharp and steady,
Says, “Obama's
just not ready!”
The Democrats must shift their Gears,
We really can’t take "Four More Years!"
McCain’s Veep
Choice is Big Oil’s
Hope,
Who'd let them drill our
Northern Slope;
Pro-Life,
Pro-Gun, so Right Wing prone,
Aha,
John's Bush-like Palin
Drone!
Joe Biden is an open Book,
Yet Sarah needs a second Look;
An Ethics Charge; a pregnant Kid,
Just
shows how well John’s Vetting
did!
Still Cheney’s Daughter says she’s Gay,
While Palin’s Grandchild’s on the Way;
Republicans are Hypocrites,
Whose so-called
Values are the Pits!
So
Lieberman supports McCain,
Apparently he’s lost his Brain;
Joe ran with Gore, a Democrat,
A Turncoat now, imagine that!
Fred Thompson swore, “We’re doing
swell,”
“On Energy, the
War, as well;”
“The GOP is just
the best,”
“And Sarah
Palin’s so well-dressed!”
So Pitbull
Rudy
did attack,
Both Biden and his
Friend Barack;
Not one damn Issue was discussed,
Yet each Opponent dissed or
cussed!
Then Giuliani did
endorse,
Who else, but Palin, yes, of
Course;
“The Lady’s
pretty and quite smart!”
A Beat away from old John's
Heart!
Republicans know how to
lie,
It’s either Mom or Apple
Pie;
They promise this, then promise
that,
But what you’ll get, will just go
splat!
We’re losing Homes; we’ve got their
War;
They’ve sent our Jobs, someplace
Off-shore;
Our Healthcare Costs are through the
Roof,
The Price of Gas is living
Proof!
These past eight Years have been so
bad,
A Vote for them is just
plain
mad;
McCain and Palin would be
worse,
With four more Years of Bush’s
Curse!
The 5-Year Jobless Rate’s at
Peak,
From Bush
and Cheney's Doublespeak;
The GOP deserves to
go,
Beware McCain
and yellow Snow!
Despite Convention Yells and
Cheers,
McCain, in Charge, fills me
with Fears;
Though John still plays the Hostage
Game,
A lousy Pilot, all the
same!
On Veterans’ Rights, John still votes
Nay,
And hopes the Homeless go
away;
He’d help the Rich,
then screw the
Poor,
A Hawk who loves his
Iraq
War!
The
GOP, smears just for Fun,
Then won’t accept the Harm they’ve done;
They'll Character assassinate,
Yet Issues, still, will not debate!
They listen in on People’s Phones,
McCain forgets the Homes he owns;
It's Arrogance, beyond all Doubt,
It's Time
to throw the Bastards out!
These
past eight Years are Bush’s Mess,
McCain can't face the Truth, I guess;
John thinks our Country’s doing fine,
So he still votes the Party Line!
Yet
when Obama speaks of Change,
John treats
him like he has the Mange;
McCain has been with Bush so long,
That neither
knows that he's been wrong!
Republicans, somehow forget,
They’ve caused the $Trillions Dollar Debt;
Mismanagement by Bush & Co.,
The GOP just
has to go!
McCain now says, “We
need Reform!
“We're losing Jobs above the Norm!”
But John’s Remarks are not quite fair,
It all occurred while he was there!
The Price of Gas; the mounting Debts,
His Iraq
War, lest he forgets;
McCain’s “Let’s change!” is Karl Rove's
Spin,
Just where in Hell, has old John been?
Now
Palin sticks to scripted Stuff,
So not
to answer Questions, tough;
And
though she acts the fragile Doll,
She's
still McCain’s gun-smoking Moll!
So
Cheney states, “She’s got the Grades,”
“Sweet Sarah should be Veep in Spades!”
But can she lurk, where Stealth Man hid,
And call the Shots, just like he did?
Watch Palin bash a Brown Bear's Brains,
Shoot Wolves and Moose, from Aeroplanes;
Her Bridge To Nowhere, would not play,
She took the Money anyway!
The last eight Years, McCain
was there,
And voted for the Bush Crowd’s Fare;
So tell these two fake Mavericks,
They both can cross the River Styx!
Most Lobbyists love John McCain,
Including those in his Campaign;
So if Reform is John’s new Theme,
Then he should start with his own Team!
Obama’s
Reference to a Pig,
Was really nothing very big;
Too bad that Palin’s Bubble burst,
But she used Pitbull Lipstick first!
Caracas tossed our Envoy
out,
Bolivia then joined the Rout;
With Cheney, Bush or Condi
Rice,
Diplomacy still
pays the
Price!
So Palin boasts
that she’s all
set,
To be our President, you
bet;
Such Arrogance, from one so
young,
Beware
the Bible's Serpent’s
Tongue!
Swiftboating helps McCain again,
His Truth in Ads is down the Drain:
Though John was First at drawing Blood,
He's still the Best at slinging Mud!
Karl Rove's now part of Freedom Watch,
He'll ratchet Insults up a Notch;
With Innuendo, Smear and Lies,
They'll hit Barack between the Eyes!
So Palin's joined McCain's Attacks,
Perhaps because she Substance lacks;
With Ethics flapping in the Breeze,
John's whole Campaign is worse than Sleaze!
These past eight
Years, McCain indeed,
Has followed Bush and Cheney’s Lead;
It’s cynical and downright strange,
That John now claims he's "Mr. Change!"
Yet Palin's Stevens' Protégé,
Who guts each Moose, the usual Way;
And though her Bridge cannot be seen,
She’s still Alaska’s Earmark Queen!
Rove says, "McCain
has gone too far,"
"With Ads that lie!" and
that's bizarre;
Karl
is their expert Swiftboat Pro,
If anyone, “King
Smear” should know!
As Wall Street teeters, Lehman
failed,
While B. of A. has Merrill bailed;
No
Wonder Markets shake and
strain,
With Leadership
like Bush/McCain!
World Capital is
almost dry,
Our Credit Worthiness,
bye-bye;
Republicans
have tempted
Fate,
And
made this Nation second-rate!
Our Surplus blown, Bush spent the Cash,
Old
John McCain would Taxes slash;
Now
Wall Street's crashed; we've endless War,
So just
say NO to four Years more!
Now when you go to vote this Fall,
There
are
two Things you must recall;
McCain is rich beyond Excess,
And
Barack didn't cause their Mess!
Oh Bush, McCain, what’s in a Name,
Their Policies, are still the same;
Cut Taxes, spend, build mounting Debts,
They both love War yet screwed our Vets!
Huge AIG was on the Brink,
They’ve now made sure, it would not sink;
This whole damn Crisis, Bush has wrought,
Let’s hope, the Fed, knows what they’ve bought!
McCain now says, "Let’s regulate!"
Reversing
all his Votes to Date;
A Balanced Budget, John did thwart,
He’s eight Years late and $Trillions short!
Rove outed Plame; Attorney's fired,
With Bush and Cheney, just conspired;
If Congress holds Karl in Contempt,
It won't mean Squat, the Guy's exempt!
Now Rove’s directing McCain’s Spin,
Karl hopes that Bull Shit helps John win;
They'll cheat, then lie, defame, use Fear,
Because
most Voters still buy Smear!
McCain's Campaign is full of Lies,
Yet Rove's the one we all despise;
But we can't blame Karl, by and large,
Old John's
the Man who's still in charge!
McCain's
new Insight's so profound,
“The Economy is truly sound!”
I’m sure
that Wall Street’s overjoyed,
Or else John means the
Unemployed!
McCain claims,
"I'm a Maverick!"
Beware,
though, it's a Karl Rove Trick;
John's Senate Record’s too well-known,
His Votes have always been Bush prone!
Gore’s
Boast he'd built the Internet,
Just
got some
Voters quite upset;
If John, Blackberries, did invent,
He’d be our “Tech-NO-President!”
McCain and Palin, out to Lunch,
Were asked about the Credit Crunch;
The Answer from these two Halfwits,
“We’ve got to tax Health Benefits!”
McCain is
still no Genius Whiz,
His Campaign showed us who he is;
There's nothing John won't say or do,
To steal that precious Vote from you!
Now
Everybody really knows,
McCain
supported Bush's Woes;
Their Policies are both the Same,
Yet if they could, they’d Barack frame!
Oh $700 Billion Bucks,
To bail out Wall Street’s greedy Schmucks;
That blank Check doesn't feel quite right,
So Bush forbids all Oversight!
This
Windfall for the Rich still grows,
With Parachutes for CEO’s;
While Main Street Folks, their Homes, can lose,
McCain and Bush, themselves, excuse!
Still George deserves our heartfelt Thanks,
For saving our Investment Banks;
They've managed Everything so well,
Republicans can go to Hell!
Based on Results or World News Blues,
Republicans deserve to lose;
Yet with John’s Smear and Karl Rove’s Spin,
Because of Race, they may
just win!
The Bush Effect is
in full Gear,
Karl Rove, of Course,
still uses Smear;
Now North Korea’s Bomb’s a Go,
With GOP's,
it's Status Quo!
The Legacy, George leaves behind,
Disaster,
plus, we’re in a Bind;
His dreadful
War; the Wall Street Pain,
With Barbie
Who and John McCain!
Now Palin forecasts Things adverse,
And warns that Wall Street will
get worse;
Such Wisdom from this Candidate,
Be careful when
you take the Bait!
Yet she leaves out, who caused the Mess,
To put these Markets in Distress;
It’s Cheney’s War and Bush’s Debt,
While John McCain did both abet!
If we don’t heed her Warnings, dire,
We all could risk eternal Fire;
For after all, she is so wise,
This Governor, with big brown Eyes!
Now
Pyongyang's Nukes are back on-line,
Because our Strength
is in decline ;
While Bush and Rice, not good enough,
Let Kim Jong-il, just call their Bluff!
So old McCain will not debate,
John’s in DC, now ain’t that great;
He’ll just grandstand, the Bush Bailout,
And leave real Issues still in Doubt!
Bush gave a Speech and came on strong,
Yet takes no Blame for Things gone wrong;
Bad Mortgages or Wall Street Greed,
But won’t admit he just can’t lead!
McCain won’t let Debates begin,
Because he knows that he can’t win;
Another Reason, though, perhaps,
It helps keep Palin under Wraps!
Oh
in Alaska's wild, wild West,
Ms. Palin was from Witchcraft blessed,
She won't debate or take a Quiz,
I wonder where her Broomstick is!
Though each Year, Palin hunts and kills,
She says she still has Statesman’s Skills;
"My
Rifle's ready, have no Fear,"
"That Russian Border’s too
damn near!"
Behold John's Annie Oakley Choice,
She says that God’s her inner Voice;
Watch out when Palin’s taking Aim,
If you're alive, then you’re fair Game!
The Bailout Plan just hit the Skids,
Republicans are taking Bids;
So to the Rescue, John did ride,
To claim he bridged the Great Divide!
McCain would play the shining Knight,
Show he can lead; prove he can fight;
That may seem nice, but John forgot,
He helped create the Mess we’ve got!
Our Nation’s Problems are immense,
So GOP's sit on the Fence;
They won’t say yes and won’t say no,
McCain and Bush have got to go!
That they're the Cause, is plain to see,
And now the Bastards can’t agree;
With Fists that clench and Teeth that gnash,
They’d rather see the Country crash!
Last Night’s Debate proved nothing new,
Yet John, at Least, showed up, that’s true;
It really was the same old Song,
McCain and Bush, still oh so wrong!
They still
can't pass a Bailout Bill,
Lou Dobbs, of Course, is too damned shrill;
“Barack,” McCain says, “is naïve!”
If Palin wins, we all might leave!
McCain and Friends have gambling Ties,
Yet Palin, on the Russians, spies;
As poor Wall Street more Help awaits,
The Rest of us watch dumb Debates!
McCain wants Tax Cuts for the Rich,
On Bailouts, though, he's done a Switch;
That poor Folks hurt, John must be blind,
And with George Bush, he's stays aligned!
I wish our two great Candidates,
Would stick to Issues in Debates;
"Your Ads, attacking, are a Bore!"
“How would you stop the Iraq War?”
“If you should win, what will
you do,”
“About the Nukes; bin Laden, too;”
“The Price of Gas and Heating Oil,”
“Or Russians still on Georgian Soil?”
“There’s Global Warming, rising Seas,”
“Our loss of Jobs; the Credit Squeeze;”
“So stop the Insults, end the Smear,”
“Just tell us what you’ll do next Year!”
McCain’s
and Palin’s Insults mount,
These two think Issues should not count;
So they’ll Obama bash and curse,
Oh what the Hell, they can’t do worse!
Health Benefits, McCain would tax,
Yet for the Rich, he’d Tax relax;
Like Bush, John hates the Middle Class,
Look how they’ve raised the Price of Gas!
Still in the Polls, Obama leads,
And Michigan, McCain concedes;
He hopes his Iraq War won’t end,
Charles Keating was John's dear, best Friend!
Last Night’s Debate was much the
Same,
No major Gaffes; Mc Cain was
lame;
Obama, too, said nothing
new,
Their Differences, are much
ado!
This Morning, though, McCain came
back,
With Palin, and their Sleaze
Attack;
The Issues, still, they won’t
discuss,
Just slam Obama, fume and
fuss!
The War goes on, the Markets
fall,
Just blame Obama for it
all;
“Barack’s too
young; he’s Muslim mean!”
“Republicans are
squeaky clean!”
Dow Jones keeps hitting ten year Lows,
It could get worse, nobody knows;
McCain's Ads, still, Obama bash,
“Yes, 'that one' caused the
Market Crash!"
McCain just hammers Barack’s Past,
The Drugs and Ayers or passing Gas;
I wish John stuck to Issues now,
Recession, Jobs, his War, somehow!
“Obama
has those Bill Ayer’s Links!”
Oh, come on John,
that really stinks;
So you fess up the
Keating Five,
Secession
is the Palins' Jive!
McCain
then rants, “Obama lies,”
“Those Terrorists, are close Allies!”
"Barack's a Muslim," can be heard,
What's coming next, that damned “N” Word?
An Ethics Panel, that inquired,
Found Sarah had a Trooper fired;
Abuse of Power’s still no Sin,
As long as you’re Todd Palin's Kin!
From Ethics Lapses, first
to last,
Ms. Palin had a checkered Past;
It
seems John’s Vetting was too lax,
Or else he simply avoids Facts!
It’s near the
End of George’s Reign,
So Bush endorsed old John McCain;
These past eight Years are Cause to fret,
Their Legacy is War and Debt!
They caused
a War, which just won't stop,
They've even made Stock Prices Drop;
Yet John and
George are Plutocrats,
Who'd
blame it all on Democrats!
But as for Bush, don’t shed one
Tear,
George made our Surplus
disappear;
Soon, he'll retire, without a
Care,
A rich Man’s Son and
Millionaire!
McCain stays feisty, sometimes shrill,
Poor Joe the Plumber, now a
Shill;
When red-faced John, pressed his Attack,
Obama coolly punched him
back!
“Oh my Tax Plan will cost you less!”
Or “My Health
Care is still the Best!”
First McCain’s Hem, then Barack’s Haw,
This
last Debate, a ho-hum Draw!
McCain has led a privileged Life,
He even has an Heiress Wife;
Like Bush, he'd rule like Upper Crust,
That’s why we’d rather Barack trust!
A desperate Man is old McCain,
He treats Obama with Disdain,
With Charges, Insults, incorrect;
John should show Barack more Respect!
McCain and Palin more than hint,
Obama's got a “Pinko” Tint;
"He's
Socialist!" they both have said,
McCarthyism's not quite dead!
Oh Colin Powell did endorse,
The best Man in the Race, of Course;
McCain bitched in a high-pitched Voice,
Because he wasn’t Powell’s Choice!
That UN Speech, the General gave,
Helped Bush, with
Iraq, misbehave;
So
Powell’s finally made Amends,
And now Obama recommends!
Still Bush won’t close Guantánamo,
I guess he likes his Horror Show;
George just can’t see that Torture’s wrong,
With “no-Trial” Inmates, eight Years long!
McCain and
Party paid the Price,
To dress up Palin, really nice;
Designer Pants, to play the Part,
Too bad they couldn’t make her smart!
McCain’s Aides
now say Palin’s rogue,
It serves them right for going Vogue;
A "Pageant Queen” is what John chose,
One Heart Beat from her thumbing Nose!
McCain, from George, would separate,
With Claims, he’s different, much too late;
For eight long Years, John’s Votes have shown,
He acts just like a George Bush Clone!
Alaska’s Stevens was abrupt,
But now a Jury says corrupt;
They found Ted guilty, as was charged,
When VECO had his House enlarged!
Now Stevens swears that he will
stay,
And hopes to win Election
Day;
He’d serve the Senate really
well,
While sitting in some Prison
Cell!
Republicans, though not for
Fun,
Told Ted to stop his Senate
Run;
It’s not because his Votes were
bought,
But rather that the Creep got
caught!
In Sarah Palin’s wild, wild West,
She failed
her Trooper's Ethics Test;
Yet Cunningham or Ney, before,
With Abramoff, all robbed the Store!
Karl Rove and Libby, Cheney too,
Had outed Plame, as we all knew;
With Foley, Craig and Tom Delay,
McCain still went the George Bush Way!
Republicans with all their Sleaze,
Stock Prices down; the World's depressed,
But look how well Ms. Palin’s dressed;
Foreclosures up; more Homes are lost,
I wonder what her Earrings cost!
McCain and Bush, these past
eight Years,
Waged War and lied, to Right
Wing Cheers;
Though this should help Obama’s
Case,
He still could lose because of
Race!
So
when will Palin come to Grips,
The Public paid for her Kids’ Trips;
With Ethics’ Values second-rate,
The Woman’s Wardrobe still looks great!
Now Palin’s thinking four Years out,
About her future Home, no Doubt;
They say she eyes the White House Scene,
Oh what the Hell, she could be Queen!
Stock Markets tank; Home Values drop,
And Iraq’s War just will not
stop;
Yet GOP's refuse to learn,
Gay Marriage is a Bush Concern!
A Hero’s Welcome, Stevens
got,
Alaskans love their Earmark Glut;
But for the Cash, they'd overlook,
That Ted's an unrepentant Crook!
To
prove the Point, Alaskans did,
Support old Stevens in his Bid,
For Reelection, as before;
Now Ted can go and steal some more!
Republicans just lost
the Race,
And Bush leaves Office, in Disgrace;
The Votes were cast, Obama’s won,
But now his Work has just begun!
What awesome
Problems, he must face,
A War, our Debt,
the H-Bomb Chase;
We hope Barack, with
Grace and Wit,
Can clean up Bush
and Cheney’s Shit!
"Will
you be Uncle Sam or Tom?"
Barack was asked by Nader, calm;
And while we knew that Ralph was nuts,
He's also one mean, racist Putz!
So how much Time does Barack get,
Lest we, of Course, should all forget,
That Bush and Cheney, ground our Gears,
And screwed up big Time, eight long Years!
McCain’s
Aides whined, "Poor Palin’s dumb,"
"And like George Bush, her Brain is numb!"
Yet Clothes and Lipstick make her cute,
So what if Sarah's not astute!
Oh Sarah called McCain’s
Aides Jerks,
Then said, “They’re really low-class Clerks!”
“I know most Continents by Heart,”
“Yes, NAFTA, too, because I’m smart!”
Joe Lieberman has changed his
Tone,
And called Obama on the
Phone;
“I’m sorry for those Things I
said,”
“I really liked McCain
instead!”
“But now that you, have won
indeed,”
“I’d best kiss up to Harry
Reid,”
“Or they’ll deprive me of my
Chair,”
“Then I’d be out, without a
Prayer!”
“Now Loyalty, my Strength, is
not,”
“So what you see, is what you’ve
got!”
“Though GOP’s, most
certainly,”
“Would buy my Vote and welcome
me!”
Oh independent,
Democrat,
Sometimes it’s this, sometimes it’s
that;
What can Joe say, to us,
explain,
Just why he helped old John
McCain?
So watch him slink across the
Aisle,
Where he can play both Sides in
Style;
You know he thinks, he’s Number
One,
It’s all about Joe
Lieberman!
Conservatives would, Change,
obstruct,
To have their Way, they’d
self-destruct;
So Democrats, don’t get Joe’s
Goat,
You still may need his Senate
Vote!
Republicans, four Years from now,
Could have a winning Ticket, WOW!
Joe Lieberman and Palin, fair,
Might finally be their perfect Pair!
They’re trickle down; they both love War,
They’d Taxes cut, waste Bucks galore;
With her, she’d skin a Moose, or bust,
And Joe, of Course, no one could trust!
Our
Country hopes that Barack's great,
The World could use a better Fate;
But if Obama would succeed,
He must negate each Bush Misdeed!
Now
Roberts’ Court ruled, with Delight,
“Our Navy’s SONAR’s
quite all right!”
So Tests resume, it never fails,
These
Bastards love to kill them Whales!
Our Confidence has really
dropped,
Consumer Spending’s all but
stopped;
The Credit Markets just dried
out,
So Wall Street’s in a State of Doubt!
Now Jobless Claims are through the
Roof,
Recession’s here, so who needs
Proof;
GM’s about to call a
Halt,
It’s got to be Obama’s
Fault!
Those Governors will Palin
hear,
Why can’t she go and
disappear?
Now Quantum Theory is her
Pitch,
Or is it Stevens getting
rich?
“Watch Democrats, from Toe
to Head,”
“Just keep them honest!” Palin said;
Like Abramoff and Tom DeLay,
Ted Stevens, Cunningham or
Ney!
Bush says,
“Please keep our Markets free,”
“Let Rich Folks guide your Destiny!”
“We’ll siphon Money from the Poor,”
“To give us Rich Guys that much more!”
Now Right-winged Keyes has filed a Suit,
So Alan’s made this
rash Appeal,
“Oh, Barack’s Birth is
not quite real!”
Keyes plays off-Key, his strident Tune,
But brays just like some brash Buffoon!
Somali Pirates raid the
Seas,
And do just what they damn well
please;
While Bush's Navy has the
Clout,
They still can't take the Bastards
out!
“Obama did his Race
betray!”
Is what Zawahri had to say;
al-Qaeda’s Number Two’s a
Twit,
So no one really gives a Shit!
Alaskans'
Votes are finally in,
And Stevens, thank God, did not win;
But on the Senate Floor today,
They stood and cheered Ted all the Way!
In Congress, Crooks, will
cross the Aisle,
While Felons, too, still steal in Style;
The Courts found Stevens on the Take,
Yet Senators cut Ted a Break!
I guess
there’s no Integrity,
Up on the Hill or in D.C.;
They still admire Ted’s Ethics so,
They
gave the Creep, a “Standing O!”
While
Ford and GM both may
fail,
Old CitiBank is out on
Bail;
The Country, though, is still in
Hock,
Like Bush, “Supply-side’s”
just a Crock!
George said, "I'm sorry Jobs are gone,"
"Or Bank Accounts are overdrawn!"
"And though it happened on my Watch,"
"I swear I did not cause the Botch!"
"These Problems started long ago,"
"It’s Carter’s Fault or don’t you know,"
"That we’ve been perfect all along,"
"I’m always right and never wrong!"
For eight long
Years, Bush rocked the Boat,
His Ship of State can't
stay afloat;
Obama's Team has just been
named,
Let’s hope our Nation's soon reclaimed!
The Iraq War just
won't wind
down,
Three Auto Makers still may
drown;
So many Things, Bush cast in
Doubt,
Obama has his Work cut
out!
Job
Losses, huge, have hit a
Peak,
The Retail Sector’s sprung a
Leak;
“Bush Legacy’s” not looking
great;
Because George made us
Second-rate!
Bush says,"Recession might be here!"
"Yes,
Unemployment's quite severe!"
If
only George could once admit,
The Job he's done
is not worth Shit!
The Supreme Court, now, will not review,
Obama’s Place of Birth, what’s new;
Conservatives still love to say,
“The Black Guy came from far
away!”
They claim, “Barack’s
not native born,”
“He’s just a Kenyan,”
they all warn;
They'd like to dump him,
in Disgrace,
Then Alan Keyes can take his Place!
Oh Larry Craig’s
sad Sex-sting stuck,
So now the Weirdo's out
of Luck;
The Courts ruled, “Charges will stay put,”
“That
something strange was still afoot!”
Now Illinois is deeply pained,
Blagojevich could go to
Jail,
It’s surely not beyond the
Pale;
His Cellmate, though, not to be
vague,
Should be OJ or Larry
Craig!
Obama told Rod, “Step aside,”
“You crossed the lawless
Great Divide!”
“By taking Bribes, and
Kick-backs too,”
“You’ve joined the GOP, it’s
true!”
Obama swears he did not know,
About Blagojevich’s Show,
Including Bribes and other Stuff;
And that should surely be enough!
“My Staff,”
he claims, “was squeaky clean,”
“And did not play the Go-between,”
“For those, who’d make their Senate Pitch,”
“With Tribute to Blagojevich!”
Yet Innuendo’s flying high,
Just who knew what or when and why;
The RNC's back, in full Gear,
With downright Lies and outright Smear!
Blagojevich both bold and brash,
Now claims he's never asked for Cash;
He’s told the Press, "I'm Mr. Clean,"
"Yet I've been framed by People mean!"
A hapless Victim of
the Times,
Blagojevich denies
his Crimes:
“I am that true, brave Eagle Scout,”
“Who’s been
maligned, there is no Doubt!”
Blagojevich, with bated
Breath,
Has vowed to fight unto the
Death;
He’d stay in Office, no
Remorse,
As Governor, until a
Corpse!
Those
Gun Nuts and the NRA,
Are on Obama's Case to stay;
They really think, each Weapon rocks,
And love Machine Guns not just Glocks!
More
Unemployment will prevail,
Because those Loan's
are doomed to fail;
No Help went to Detroit’s Big Three,
Thanks to the Senate’s GOP!
Now in Baghdad, Bush
bid Goodbye,
But Things, somehow, just went awry;
While conferencing Iraqi News,
George got a Gift of someone's Shoes!
Two Trillion Tons of Ice are
gone,
Yet all the Right Wing does is
yawn;
They remarked, "Melts are merely Myth,"
"And Gore
imbibed his
umpteenth
Fifth!"
Though right or wrong, we must
react,
That Seas are rising's still a
Fact;
So please beware, there’s no
Appeal,
If “Global
Warming’s” really real!
How much has Bush’s Tenure cost?
How many Jobs or
Lives were lost?
George brags he’s kept us safe and free,
By crashing our Economy!
Bush grew
the Family Wealth, you see,
Abetted by his stealth VP;
They blew our Budget and much more,
With Neocons who thrive
on War!
So Cheney boasts that Bush and he,
Were just the greatest, there could be;
But this Veep's Heart’s as cold as Ice,
Compared to Dick, Attila's nice!
Then Cheney whined
that Congress sucks,
“They’ve failed the Makers of our Trucks;
Yet Detroit went into the
Tank,
When Bush and Darth both broke the Bank!
Republicans still disagree,
On who'd be better as VP;
Joe Biden will the Nation serve,
While Cheney threw us all a Curve!
So Limbaugh and the RNC,
Sent out a Racial Parody;
"We think it's funny," was their Call,
Which proves they're Bigots, after all!
The GOP’s in hot Debate,
About their Song that clings to Hate;
Insensitive, to say the Least,
Or just plain racist, Judas Priest!
"Barack the Magic Negro” Song,
Was Saltsman’s tasteless Singalong;
Chip claims that it was just a Joke,
And Blacks are still his favorite Folk!
Now Peter Yarrow’s joined the Fray,
And told them all to puff away;
With Dragon Slayer’s Style and Grace
He's put these Morons in their Place!
Oh Caroline’s a Kennedy,
Who’d carry on the Dynasty;
The Senators were not impressed,
She might be just like them, at Best!
A
chastened Bush, reflects his Years,
Mistakes he’s made, but still no Tears;
Now Cheney’s quite a different Gent,
Defiant, mean and arrogant!
Somalia’s
President resigned,
He would, with Pirates, be aligned;
Now Ahmed gloats, "I'll earn much more,
"From Ransoms paid, by Boats galore!"
Now Palin’s Daughter’s Kid’s named
Tripp,
A Gossip Story, we could
skip;
It seems an out of wedlock
Child,
Is Front Page News, though Gaza
riled!
Oh
Cheney, to the World, extols,
“Yes, in Iraq, we’re near our Goals!”
Five Hundred Thousand Dead’s a lot,
Dick must be drunk or smoking Pot!
Blagojevich
just met his Aims,
And sold the Seat that Burris Claims;
Diversion is a useful Tool,
And Rod, though brash, is still a Fool!
The Senate then told Burris, “Nay!”
Rejecting him to his Dismay,
Blagojevich’s Crony left,
Dejected, if not, quite bereft!
Yet good or bad, Blagojevich,
Is still the Governor, to
which,
Rod’s got the Right, to choose,
deploy,
Their Senator from Illinois!
So Minnesota’s Franken
won,
Al ran for Office just for
Fun;
With Democrats now back in
Town,
They've got themselves another
Clown!
Oh, every Night, as sure as
Rain,
More Rockets come, inflicting
Pain;
So Israel will smite back
soon,
While Hamas thinks they’re quite
immune!
Thus Israel did Gaza raid,
Now everyone has dearly
paid;
High Casualties; Civilians dead,
It’s constant War, with more
ahead!
Hamas, alas, won’t
recognize,
Poor Israel,
whom they despise;
Ironic, though, that they're
so
pissed,
At Someone who does not
exist!
Attorneys General come and
go,
But Eric Holder’s Barack’s
Show;
Republicans stay bitter
Foes,
Who’ll try to tweak Obama’s
Nose!
As this Appointment’s quite
complex,
Watch GOP’s their Muscles
flex;
Because their Power’s, in
descent,
They're out to hurt this
President!
Said Spector, from the Senate
Floor,
“Mark Rich was rotten to the
Core!”
Though Arlen acts like Mister Clean,
Anita Hill knows he’s
just
mean!
“Barack
Obama’s not my Boss!”
“And Burris won’t our Threshold cross!”
Barked Harry Reid, who acts so tough,
Blagojevich just called his Bluff!
Our Senate Leader blusters so,
First "Franken, YES!" then "Burris, NO!"
Yet Reid backed down, without a Toot,
A spineless, harried, empty Suit!
Inauguration Day is near,
A Time for all to hoot and cheer;
It's not because Obama's great,
"But Bye
Bye Bush means Celebrate!"
In Politics, there is no Shame,
Corruption is their chosen Game;
“So buy my Vote; Let’s
make a Deal!”
But don’t get caught, there's
no Appeal!
Blagojevich has
been
impeached,
In
But now his Senate Trial
must be,
I’ll bet hot Rod
gets off scot-free!
Blagojevich has vowed to fight,
Perhaps he thinks that wrong is right;
Who knows what goes through Felons’ Heads,
When they're indicted by the Feds!
So five Somali Pirates drowned,
With Ransom Money they had found;
It’s sad to hijack on a Whim,
When no one's taught you how to swim!
Obama wants to Gitmo
close,
When he takes Office, I suppose;
They’ll open up a Texas Branch,
All Inmates go to Bush’s Ranch!
In Bush’s latest Interviews,
"Perhaps,"
he said, "there were Miscues!"
George takes no Blame for Things averse,
Though he was bad, Dick Cheney’s worse!
Those EU Nations shiver, cold,
Their Fuel Supplies were put on Hold;
While Russia caused the big Impasse,
They blame Ukraine for passing Gas!
Conservatives are one strange Crew,
They hope Obama fails, it’s true;
Our Country’s Future is at Stake,
And they won’t cut the Guy a Break!
At Holder’s Hearing, Eric paused,
“Mark Rich’s Pardon might be
flawed!”
“I'd throw away each
Waterboard,”
“But first, let's check out Market
Fraud!”
“Now
Gitmo’s Closing could
take Time,”
“And Torture, yes, is still
a Crime!”
“While Wiretaps will
be sustained,”
“Gun Owners, all, should
be arraigned!”
Brad Schlozman,
with his Right Wing Folk,
Made Justice, his own dirty Joke;
Politicized, he set his Sights,
To neutralize our Civil Rights!
Napolitano: “I’ll
crack down,”
“On Immigrants from out of
Town!”
If this is true and Pigs can fly,
Lou Dobbs will be one happy Guy!
Now in Iraq, George fought
his War,
Katrina’s Problems were a Bore;
And though the "Big
Three" turned to Rust,
Bush thanks the Nation for its Trust!
Then George crushed Wall Street and the Banks,
While Saudis bought our Planes and Tanks,
bin Laden lives in Pakistan;
Bush put those Worms inside the Can!
As President, in every Case,
George pandered to his Right
Wing Base;
I hope Obama has the Skill,
To clean up Bush’s Sewerage
Spill!
Bush ponders on
his Legacy,
As well, his Place in History;
George says,
"I did my very
Best!"
He
did, that's why we're all
depressed!
The
Bush Belongings were moved out,
Then
sent to Crawford, there's no Doubt;
But
George's Record shouts, "Beware!"
So
count that White House Silverware!
Oh what will Bush and Cheney do,
Now that their Terms are almost
through;
Old George can help some Bank to fail,
While Dick could torture
Folks in Jail!
Now Bush who's on his Tour,
Farewell,
Has lead this Nation straight to
Hell;
Nostalgic Tears, well in his
Eye,
Hey go, already! Shoo!
Good-bye!
Obama took the Oath today,
Which means George Bush has gone
away;
There’s not much more that I can say,
Except, thank God! Oh yes,
HOORAY!
Obama took the Oath once
more,
Before Rush Limbaugh gave what
for;
Our Right Wing doesn’t like their
Loss,
And can’t accept a Black Man
Boss!
Now that Bush
Torture’s been
exposed,
Obama’s ordered Gitmo
closed;
This President’s not only
smart,
But, thank God, also has a
Heart!
Now pudgy Rove must testify,
To tell John Conyers, Reasons why;
Bush fired those eight Attorneys, right,
Just Politics or was it Spite?
Oh Gillibrand, a Lawyer
great,
Is Senator, from New York
State;
A Democrat, she has two
Sons,
And like Ms. Palin plays with
Guns!
Now Palin spouts, the
Hunters’ Line,
"Beluga Whales are doing fine!”
“We
eat them raw or in a Stew,"
“They’re fun to shoot
and tasty too!”
Divisive, Palin’s on
a Roll,
No Doubt, the White House is her Goal;
Alaska’s where her Earmarks went,
Watch out, she’ll run for President!
In eight short Years, George Bush, you see,
Destroyed the World’s Economy;
Now GOP's would Taxes cut,
And Dems should kick John Boehner's Butt!
Tom Daschle’s Hopes have
all been dashed,
While Gregg’s Replacement’s being
thrashed;
Republicans are always
right,
But still deny "George Bush’s
Blight!"
They act just
like they’re still in
Charge,
Yet won’t admit their Screw-ups,
large;
They’ve messed up big with what
they’ve done,
Rush Limbaugh is their Smoking
Gun!
"The Stimulus”
is in Debate,
A Bill, McConnell says he'll hate;
Republicans are Horses’ Rears,
Beware their Crocodilian Tears!
They’ve cost us jobs
and more than some,
Big Firms have failed with more to come;
“Tax Cut and Spend” could be their
Song,
The GOP's have got it wrong!
Although they’ve caused this rotten Mess,
Conservatives will not address,
Solutions that would help us all;
They've
slowed our Nation to a Crawl!
Republicans just criticize,
Each goddamn Thing, Obama tries;
So what’s with all their nasty Sneers,
Where have they been these past eight Years?
It doesn’t take a lot of Thought,
To see the Turmoil Bush has wrought;
So when the Right Wing balks or stalls,
The Democrats could grow some Balls!
The GOP's
for Millionaires,
Who treat all others like, "Who
cares!"
That’s why their Mantra or their Pitch,
Is always, “Tax Cuts
for the Rich!”
Conservatives caused
this Morass,
While hiding up Dick
Cheney’s Ass;
So now it’s really
no Surprise,
That all they do is
criticize!
The Country ought to be irate,
About our Economic State,
Republicans
should take the Rap;
"Bipartisan” is
so much Crap!
Deny, delay, it's Status Quo,
Republicans just
all say, “NO!”
They’re arrogant, so selfish too,
And stuck together, thick, like Glue!
Obama went that extra Mile,
And tried to reach across the Aisle;
But GOP’s stayed to their Score,
As
they all sang, “Cut
Taxes more!”
With Unemployment on the Rise,
You'd think they'd try to compromise;
But in the House, this very Day,
Republicans all voted NAY!
Bipartisan, Judd would not be,
So Gregg withdrew his Name, you see;
These GOP's just won't partake,
To help Obama Changes make!
In Pakistan, the
Taliban,
Have struck a Deal, because they
can;
bin Laden’s hidden in their
Hills,
Directing Havoc while he
kills!
Now California’s hit the
Wall,
With Deficits too big to
call;
So Arnold will cut Jobs, they
say,
As well as Taxes right away!
The Right Wing loves Rush Limbaugh’s
Wit,
An Addict who's just full of Shit;
Rush hopes Obama fails, you
see,
What's with this goddamned
GOP?
At first, Mike Steele, said Rush was
wrong,
Yet now he sings a different
Song;
Republicans still can't
agree,
While Limbaugh owns the
RNC!
Rash AIG just sued the Fed,
Though Ink adrip so Bankrupt Red;
Each Bonus paid; their Bailout grand,
But still they'd bite a helping Hand!
Ingratitude, from greedy Men,
Who stole from Clients, now and then;
Incompetence caused them to fail,
Their Leaders ought to rot in Jail!
