Said Koslowski, "I got here today;
About seven years I must stay.
But the time will pass faster
When they bring in the master;
I look forward to bridge with Ken Lay."
--- Arnie Schoenbrun

McClellan briefs press rapid fire;
He says that Bush ratings are higher.
He hastens to tell
That the war's going well;
It's too bad Bush made him a liar.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun

For NASA you should put into place
Someone good who will head up the race.
If you give me a choice
I'd say in a loud voice -
Jerry Brown's always been out in space.
--- Anon

If the NEA's good or it ain't,
If you love it or have a complaint,
Pick Tammy Fay Bakker -
A Mover and shaker -
No one's face uses more artists' paint.

Losing Karen Hughes made Dubya sick;
A new confidante he will pick.
If his Condoleezza left
He would not be bereft,
But he can't get along without his Dick
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0206

OSHA would be in an upheaval
With a pick that some would call evil.
We could sure have some fun
If OSHA were run
By daredevil Evel Knievel.
--- Anon

"FIN" will be written on them one day,
Since that's always been history's way.
Dubya and his cabal
Will survive when they fall,
Having left us with all Hell to pay.
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0307

Said Bush, "I support civil rights;
Just look! I have Powell and Rice --
Their counsel I trust
'Cept when Dad says I must
Ignore them, just like I do whites.

Open Press Conference One with a hush
And get all the right-wingers to gush
With great joy and with glee,
For the whole world to see,
When it's presided over by Rush.

(Rush Limbaugh - conservative talk show host)
--- Anon

Dubya's press secretary just quit,
And no one can blame him one bit.
He's tired of Dubya's mess
And the national press,
All telling him he's full of shit.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0605

President-elect Bush, if you please,
We have some names for your nominees.
If you pick the right ones,
And you stick to your guns,
Through Senate confirmations they'll breeze.
--- Anon

In this metaphor I take delight;
I admit though it's not quite polite.
But when stone cold C. Rice
Goes by Shrub in a trice,
They're just two shits which pass in the night.
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0607

Still to some, the god king emperor
Shrub, at best, is an aberrant whore.
He can shake up his "spinners"
And pray that these winners
Can serve up some new bullshit du jour.
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0606

When the water's choppy and wavy
And the fog is as thick as gravy,
Navy men should drink grog --
As did Teddy in fog --
Now name him Secretary, Navy.
--- Anon

So the grand jury's now had its say,
And they think we should put him away
For a whole bunch of years.
So let's lift up our beers,
And pledge, "Justice for Tom! No DeLay!"
--- Q

There once was a man called DeLay
Who found, to his shock and dismay,
His aide was indicted;
The Dems were delighted;
The Republicans said, "Go Away!".
--- Anon

Home Security Chief, Tom Ridge,
Resorted to bald SORTILEGE,
Devising his budget,
He mainly would fudge it;
Accepting the funds as a loan bridge.
--- Chris Papa

The money was scattered through land,
Defying supply and demand.
It bought new cop cars,
A box of cigars,
But hardly spent, I understand.
--- Chris Papa

Supposed to help us from all harm,
Creating a defensive arm,
This sweet boondoggle
Makes my mind boggle,
And set me a state of alarm.
--- Chris Papa

A name which will make Democrats wail
Is a name they would dare not assail.
Even Ms. Hillary
Would not dare pillory
Transportation nominee Billy Dale.
--- Anon

For Treasury, name one of the greats,
One that Bill Clinton's team really hates,
For an income shortfall
He can cover it all --
Appoint Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
--- Anon

Here's the Bush White House staff really quick:
Dubya's Donald makes the Pentagon sick.
He keeps his Condoleeza
'Cause it is fun to squeeze her,
But his policies come from his Dick. (Cheney)
--- Arnie Schoenbrum P0411

John Ashcroft, quite grand and quite gracious,
After Leahy's persistence tenacious (Senate Judiciary Comm)
Will deign to appear,
But hold back the cheer --
He'll do nothing but be more evasious.
--- Dr Limerick 11-25-01

Attention all teen-age white males:
Go directly to John Ashcroft's jails.
You match the profile
So you'll stay awhile
As our guest, in a cell, without bail.
--- Dr Limerick 05-10-02

But this principle seems quite Swiss-cheesy;
John Ashcroft is finding it easy
To let principles slide
Whenever he decides
That with sovereign state he's displeased.

(Ashcroft fighting Oregon assisted suicide)
--- Dr Limerick 11-06-01

A recycled joke, I'll admit,
But still I'm compelled to submit
Why, when they did find
A portion benign
On Ashcroft, did they remove it?
--- Dr Limerick 01-30-02

The Federalist mantra of state's rights
Says the sovereign states have a birthright
To define law and order
Within their own border,
Free from all forms of Federal Oversight.
--- Dr Limerick 11-06-01

In the halls of the Justice Department,
They demand rectitude and comportment.
So the statue that posed
With one breast exposed,
Was wrapped 'til she shows some deportment.
--- Dr Limerick 01-27-02

You can give John Ashcroft his due
For defending the Red, White and Blue.
But give him more power?
That's sure to turn sour;
He'll be taking some liberties too!
--- Limerick Savant

The Bushies were under attack
So Ashcroft reached into his pack;
The tapes that I've found
Will distract the hounds,
Which is why I've been holding them back.
--- Dr Limerick 01-17-02

They say Merle encouraged his fans
To give the A.G. "a big hand
Right in the mouth...
And then bail me out."
Unless as a combatant, he's banned.
--- Dr Limerick 08-26-02

A memo that's so law-abiding,
John Ashcroft must keep it in hiding.
Claims torture, though awful,
Is perfectly lawful,
If ordered by one who's presiding!
--- Anon

Each day a veep they call Dick
Has a ticker that fails in its tick.
So they fill him with gas
Through a hole in his ass,
And revive with a flick of a bic.
--- Keith Gilman P0107

This is file ccm

Think Republican men just like Bush?
It was Dick that they wanted to push. (Cheney)
Their staffs became swollen,
When they inserted Colin,
And the Cabinet's filled with a whoosh.
--- Anon

Said a vice president named Cheney,
My kilowatt hours are too many!
Life should be gravy;
So let's bill the Navy;
Conserving would be much too zany.
--- Kristen and Steve

Mr Bush says the weather is rainy;
A conclusion that's patently crazy.
The sky is bright blue;
The sun shining too.
Says Bush,"It's still raining, ask Cheney."
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0408

Dick Chancy, now sports a new stent
To repair the small place that was rent.
He is now having sex
As the doctor directs,
But rather than coming he went.
--- Tom Patton P0109

Dubya said, Iraq scene I don't like.
What will happen out there down the pike?
Mr Cheney said he,
Just leave it to me
And you can just go ride your bike.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0407

They say that Dick Cheney's the guy
Who has to give answere for why
Old Dubya, so dim,
Is employing him.
"I'm not smart but at least I try!"
--- Tony Burrell

Said Dick, let the GAO sue;
I'll do what a Veep's gotta do --
Whether we're taking orders
From Enron's headquarters,
Is not grist for a public review.
--- Dr Limerick 01-28-02

"Mr Edwards," snapped Dick, "you're a peeve,
Whom I never did meet till this eve!"
"Mr Cheney," laughed John,
"Have your marbles all gone?
We have met thrice before, I believe!"
--- Anon

Mr Cheney, the ex CEO,
Did things he won't want us to know.
His actions at Halliburtin
Left stockholders hurtin',
As he walked away with the dough.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

With the energy case on the docket,
To Cheney, the Dems want to sock it.
But they haven't a chance
Their cause to advance,
Cause Scalia's in Cheney's back pocket.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0407

Meanwhile back at the ranch,
Dubya has been in a trance.
He saw Colin Powell
But mostly he's AWOL,
As Dick's the executive branch.
--- Election 2000

In the picture, he's heroic and brainy,
As he talks on the phone to Dick Cheney.
But as we all know,
The decisions flow
From Drill Seargeant Dick to his trainee!
--- Dr Limerick 05-14-02

Big Dick Cheney is in for a treat
Since the surgeons completed their feat;
With his new I U D
They implanted for free,
He'll have safe sex and not miss a beat.
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0108

The VP is a Cheney called Dick;
He loved oil so bad he got sick.
He had a heart stent,
And an area to vent,
So he found a weak enemy to kick.
--- Anon

The venue could not have been worse
Where Dick UTTERED the famous F-curse
His feelings must be hurtin'
When he's prodded 'bout Halliburton
So dear to his heart and his purse.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0408

"I'm not even running, you see."
Says Dick as he chortles with glee.
"I'll soon step aside
To give Condi the ride
To the White House in '08, you'll see!"
--- Anon

What a tangled web they wove
When Cheney hired Mr. Rove
To cynically exploit
The mentally unadroit,
And say that King Bush has clothes.
--- Anon

People tend to worry a lot
About what deviants might plot.
But they should clear their head
And worry instead
If Cheney, he has more buckshot.
--- Judy Nawrocki

Said Dubya of Dick Cheney, "He can
Be the president, so he's my man.
Said John Kerry, "Agree,
And not only can be,
But he has since the day Bush began."
--- Anon

"I'm in trouble now," Dick Cheney said,
"For not shooting that lawyer till dead;
But people, I'm sure,
Would vote for me more,
If I'd shot Michael Jackson instead."
--- David Miller

I hate here to take a shot, cheap.
I may have been too long asleep.
Heard something 'bout quail
In the bush and the tale
Said someone was shooting, the Veep?
--- Gary Hallock

How strange are the names in this cast?
Which sounds like a blast from the past.
When Quayle rode shotgun
As Veep for Bush one,
And by a potatoe was mashed.
--- Gary Hallock

Now Bush Two is Prez, so they say,
And Cheney's his Veep...okay.
From bush, quail he flushed,
But Veep, somewhat rushed,
Allowed his attention to stray.
--- Gary Hallock

His quail hunting partner, too near,
Took hits in the cheek, neck and ear.
Though some with cry "Foul!"
He learned from his pal
That sometimes the buckshot stops here.
--- Gary Hallock

Now Cheney admits he's the shooter,
But really, I thought he'd be shrewder.
Why would he take aim
At pal, Harry, to maim,
When he had a clear shot at Scooter.
--- Gary Hallock

When Veep's errant shot, his head struck,
Pal Harry said, "That's some bad luck."
Dick won't go to jail,
Because hunting quail,
You are not required to yell, "Duck!"
--- Gary Hallock

When asked by his friend, "How could you
Shoot me? I am one of your crew."
Dick flushed, a bit pale,
"I know you're not quail.
Perhaps I was spooked by bird flew."
--- Gary Hallock

Not much since the time of A. Burr
Do Veep involved shootings occur.
We've had just a few
Such as S. Agnew,
Who shot off his mouth, as it were.
--- Gary Hallock

I wonder if bush would loose face
If he'd Mr Cheney replace.
If this gets much thicker,
It could flip his ticker.
How then could he keep up the pace?
--- Gary Hallock

Now that I've Cheney much knocked,
I'm sure I'll soon be awed and shocked,
When Bush wire taps
My phone and perhaps,
His Veep again goes off half-cocked.
--- Gary Hallock

Quail hunters wear orange attire,
A look that our Longhorns admire,
And donning those clothes,
Leads them to suppose,
They will not draw unfriendly fire.
--- Gary Hallock

But this didn't work. Cheney's ammo
Went right through his vest with a "blammo!"
That light body armor
Will not prevent harm or
Obscure the facts like a good camo.
--- Gary Hallock

And speaking of fire, poor McClellan
Drew heat at the White House; no tellin'
Where all this may lead.
Press can't get a read
On whether to buy what he's sellin'.
--- Gary Hallock
