Amidst reports of violence and vandalism against Democratic congressmen that voted for Health Care Reform, I composed this little ditty. You do know what to call people that try to incite fear and attack political leaders, don’t you? You do know what liberal citizens would be called if they were the perpetrators?
Now daily in Washington there’re fists,
As Repubs set out to cause errors, twists…
In Health legislation.
Regarding our nation,
Does that make them better than terrorists?
What could be more bizarre than the recent behavior of retiring Representative Eric Massa, charged of sexually harassing an aide at a New Year’s Eve party, resigning (but *not* for *that*), then claiming it was all a set-up because he is the deciding vote on health care reform… then finding a fan in Glenn Beck? What a… sausage. Still, in some cases, he might be right.
A Congressman named Eric Massa,
Lost more than a small bit of class-a:
Turning ethics to dust,
Is healthcare now bust?
Among Dems there’s no bigger kielbasa!
Richard Shelby (R-AL) has put an extraordinary “blanket hold” on at least 70 nominations President Obama has sent to the Senate, according to multiple reports this evening. The hold means no nominations can move forward unless Senate Democrats can secure a 60-member cloture vote to break it, or until Shelby lifts the hold. Here’s what it looks like in limerick form:
Who went and elected these apes?
Those committing political rapes:
Claiming “trepidations,”
When it’s really just all sour grapes.
As for stocks you’ll find I’m not an owner.
There’s a “John” watching out for a donor:
He is playing the game,
Living up to his name:
It’s Minority Leader John “Boehner!”
I know, it’s pronounced “Bay-nur.” Not the way I read it. He probably had to constantly repeat “Bay-nur” over an over to stop being teased by the bullies in elementary school. Perhaps that’s why he always looks so sad.
Thank the Supreme Court for this new interest in corporate money. At least the bloodsuckers are being honest and over-the-table about it now.
Consider if you will Joe Lieberman’s
Protestations that he’s a beleaguered man
By his foes on the left
So he’ll leave you bereft
Of the care that could turn back grim reaper plans.
EDIT: I considered using “mensch” instead of “man” in the second line, to try and find a suitable “s” sound to rhyme with “plans” and “Lieberman’s,” but to my ears, the correct pronunciation sounded far worse than the partial rhyme of “man.” Hope you agree.

Friday, April 23rd, 2010The world’s big economy tanks,
The opposition party wanks,
With their lobbyist chums,
While we all eat crumbs,
It’s time that we broke up the banks!
