More tortuous rhetoric

Mr. Cheney's the spokesman we'd pick
Claiming "charges of torture won't stick."
Some think it a goof.
We say it's the proof
That conservatives didn't know Dick!

Land of Libberty?

Even sans Bush's chosen commute,
We were still on a treacherous route.
Our country's been mugged
By political thugs
And the thieves have escaped with the loot!

Playing the Plame Game

The conviction of Libby, this week,
Leaves the question of "Who sprung the leak?"
Scooter's head on a plate,
While the rest of them skate,
Isn't justice and raises our pique!


Scooter takes one for the Shooter

Libby Guilty of Lying in C.I.A. Leak Case
By Neil A. Lewis, The New York Times, 3/7/07

So what does that make me?

I'm so tired of the Dubbaya bashing
And those Liberals need a good thrashing!
I've not gone NeoCon.
I'm just trying it on
For the day. Don't you think it looks smashing?


Is it just coincidunce that NeoCon

Don't forget to turn back your clocks tonight-
to the Middle Ages

Meets, shoots, and leaves

Instead he'll attempt
To claim he's exempt:
Didn't Congress approve use of force?

Quailed by the idea

With a nod to Mother Goose and Cowtown Pattie for the idea:

Bye, bye baby bunting
Cheney's gone a-hunting
And shot a damned Republican
He'll never be so smug again

Cheney Lacked $7 Hunting Credential

Friendly fire

Potshot Dick has become the top story,
Not because of the blast, but the quarry.
Were John Kerry the prey,
He'd explain it away,
But he's feckless for shooting a tory.

Cheney of fools

If Dick Cheney were only astuter
He'd have steered clear of using that Scooter.
They are said to cause falls
That can injure one's balls
And might end up by leaving you neuter.
