Ode To GOP Stimulus Hypocrisy
It’s getting hard to keep track of all the Republican “trash and cash” Recovery Act hypocrisy. But Steve Benen has a stimulus hypocrisy update, and I have a limerick:
Ode To GOP Stimulus Hypocrisy
By Madeleine Begun Kane
“The stim bill was bad. Voted no,
Cuz it won’t the economy grow.”
That’s the GOP rant
As they privately chant,
“Now give me more stimulus dough.”

The stimulus gives Repubs fits
“It’s welfare for those in the pits!
“In trouble they stay
“If they cannot pay!”
It comes down to who benefits
It’s OK to prop up the banks
Who never respond or say “Thanks!”
They think it their right,
Because they’re so bright,
For bonuses up to their flanks
“Two Cities” not one ever read
They see no good reason to dread
The rabble will rise
And choose to excise
Their bodies from under their heads
I can’t match that. But I remember Ashcroft’s “Let the Eagle Soar,” and I suggest a new title: “Let the Tumbrils Roll.”
Thanks! :)
“The stim bill Republicans vote no,
The Dems warned the voters would throw
The Republicans out
when mid terms they’d be rout’
But now who’s foot did a hole in it blow?
