Guest Poet: A Tip For Republicans In Congress

And now another gem from TMV’s favorite artist of verse, Michael Silverstein, aka Wall Street Poet:

Imagine you are a Republican Congressman. Look at what’s happening in Iraq today. Contemplate the futility, indeed, the stupidly, of trying to salvage this long lost cause with a “surge.” Now think ahead to the election of 2008, and your Democratic opponent’s TV commercials showing how you supported these policies long after the public had found them terribly wanting. Then consider this tip…

A Tip For Republicans In Congress

When next election time is here
One name on ballots won’t appear
Bush won’t be there for folks to jeer
‘Bout voter wrath he need not fear.

But those in Congress who now cleave
To dreams few but Bush still believe
Will get in ‘08 no reprieve
They’ll get the boot, be forced to leave.

Beltway pros know when to waiver
When it’s time to show disfavor
Giving views a diff’rent flavor
Switching now is your job saver.
