This limerick was inspired by Thursday’s hearing and this article: “THE UNBEARABLE DISHONESTY OF BRETT KAVANAUGH.”
Brett told lies to the world, large and small,
Some entailing an “I don’t recall.”
Some were odd, like this tale:
“No connections to Yale!”
Which just might Yale-grad-grandpa appall.

Will Kavanaugh ever bow out?
That perjuring sexual lout
Was intended to be
Donald’s trump card; he’s key
To Trump’s keeping his freedom and clout.
*****
Mitch has hired a “female assistant”
So Republican men can stay distant
From plans untoward
Like “assassinate” Ford…
Which might render their wins non-existent.

Apply logic: Who’s likely to lie
About something that most would decry?
The woman who asked
That G-men be tasked
With a probe? Or “NO-FBI Guy?”

Thanks to Peter Daou for inspiring my limerick with this tweet:
Woman reports sexual assault.
Woman gets slimed and vilified.
Woman gets called a liar and opportunist.
Woman gets death threats and is forced to leave her home.
GOP MEN: Why did she wait to come forward?
When a gal reports sexual assault,
She’s reviled and she’s slimed. Oy gevalt!
She’s sent death threats galore,
As she gets this what-for:
“Why’d you wait to speak out? You’re at fault!”

WP Headline: “Trump’s insistence on an upcoming ‘red wave’ could make a blue wave higher”
I enjoy watching Donald emote
About upcoming mid-terms; he’ll gloat
About wins and successes.
My hope and best guess is
His base will think “no need to vote!”

Woodward Describes Trump: ‘Don’t Bother Me With Facts, I Have Opinions’
The Donald tells minions
his long-held opinions
(though wholly unbacked)
will trump any fact.

Headline: “Collins calls crowdfunding to get her to oppose Kavanaugh a ‘bribe'”
Anti-Kavanaugh crowd-funding’s bribery?
That’s Sue Collins’ opprobrious gibery
About voters pro-choice
When raising their voice
About threats based on Kavanaugh’s scribery.

Here’s a story that many find boring:
The federal deficit’s soaring.
But no doubt Trump will rate it
Fake news and inflated…
As he brags to his fan base adoring.

“That piece in the Times isn’t mine!”
Trump’s cohorts are standing in line
To deny that it’s theirs
Amid yelling and glares
While, to Donald, each one is a swine.

Woodward’s latest, a Trump book called “Fear,”
Will be seen by his fans as a smear:
“There is nary a good word
Re Trump from Bob Woodward,”
They’ll sneer and they’ll jeer and Bronx cheer.

Headline: “Republican senator slams Trump’s DOJ attack: US ‘not some banana republic'”
Dear Senator Sasse, words are cheap.
Without action, you’re naught but a creep
Who seeks credit for drivel.
Don’t shirk! Do not shrivel.
Be statesmanlike! Act! Take the leap!

Headline: “Activists to remind Texas about Trump’s ‘Lyin’ Ted’ Cruz tweets with mobile billboard”
The Donald’s campaigning for Cruz.
I’m amused (aren’t you?) by this news:
A huge sign filled with tweets–
Donald’s anti-Cruz bleats–
Will be giving both scoundrels the blues.
