Fred they say has the best chance to win,
him and Reagan are just like kin,
he talks with a drawl,
answering the neo-con’s call,
there’s a reason behind his dumb grin.
But it’s a tough battle he will face,
his divorce is a disgrace,
some call him lazy,
some say he’s crazy,
he’ll struggle to win the county’s embrace.

There once was a girl from Minnesota,
Whose wit missed not an iota
She read and she wrote and maybe a quote
Until things changed for the betta

On Sunday the winner was Angel Cabrera
Maybe the start of a brand new era?
Where players smoke during the round,
bogeys on par 4 300 yard holes abound,
And where Tiger gets burnt, he needs aloe vera.

There once was a thing called a veto,
But some prefer to do it incognito,
You just jot down a note,
Slitting the bills throat,
Bush thinks signing statements are neato.
But when the Dems (or GAO) pry,
Agencies seem intent not to comply,
Which might be illegal,
and appears rather regal,
which seems more fitting of Shanghai.

A Bush who once preached law and order
Pardons Scooter, a lawyer turned porter.
He says, “No great shame
In naming Val Plame
I’m the law, and Dick gives the orders.”

Gore used to have a great love,
but after the Court gave him the shove,
He’s done with that game,
Saving the world’s his new aim,
In 2009 he won’t be part of the Gov.

Democrats to Filibuster. . .Themselves
The Senate has had just enough,
they’re going to show that it’s no bluff,
by staying up all night,
elongating the Iraq fight,
That’s how Senators (or 6 year-olds) show they’re tough.

A limerick, if you should choose,
Will dispell any case of the blues.
It’s a neat little verse,
So clear and so terse,
It’s a great way to relate the news.

Spy Bill Held up by Misunderstanding of word “can.”
“They’ve not drafted a bill I can sign,”
Bush says with a rather loud whine,
“For national security protection,
And the GOP in the ’08 election,
The Dems recent proposals I must decline.”

Our policy, it seems, is a mess
Regarding what means of duress
We can use in detentions
Under the Geneva Conventions
Can we beat them until they confess?
If not, can we give them away
And let foreign interrogators play?
There’s a man without qualm
In a cell in Amman
Who’ll pick up where leave off CIA.

A new preppy reality show?
Auditions in Georgetown? I’ll go!
After smoking my fifth joint
I cruised M to Smith Point
To ride high society’s flow
But the blonde charity mafia’s frills
Aren’t mopping up Late Night Shots’ spills
And now I feel lost
In this sea of Lacoste
(If only DC were The Hills…)

The C-word discovered by Apple Gate
If it worsened it would be too late
She – with the courage of a lion
Made here decision with little crying
For the outcome we’ll just have to wait.

The pro-lifers presumed then to tutor us
On what women should do with their uterus
Fifty million they paid
To defeat Roe v. Wade
But they couldn’t persuade David Souterus
