Shameless Republicans On Christmas Attack
Republicans have been treating Nigerian Abdulmutallab’s failed Christmas Day bombing of Flight 253 like a Christmas gift from Al Qaeda — something really juicy to exploit.
In fact, the Republicans’ partisan response to this attempted terrorism has been so shameless, even Politico noticed.
Republicans like Pete Hoekstra, James DeMint, Dan Burton, and many others have earned themselves a triple limerick by playing politics with national security:
Shameless Republicans On Christmas Attack
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Exploiting a terror attempt
Is surely beneath all contempt.
But that never would stop
Such a GOP op:
“Bash Obama! He failed to preempt.”
There is plenty of blame they should share
For that terrorist scare in the air.
We’ve no TSA head:
DeMint “held” him instead
Of a vote. It’s Republican guerre.
As for funding our air travel screening,
They vote no. Seems they’re pro-terror leaning.
Though their record is poor,
They keep spouting full-bore.
Please Republicans, spare us your preening.

We keep hearing year after year
“The next terror soon will appear
“We must be prepared
“To be challenged and dared
“We will win!” always triggers our cheer
If we knew we would be so dismayed
Just how easily we all get played
All they have to do
Is holler out “BOO!”
And we fall into place well arrayed
We mindlessly hand over bucks
We once used to buy cars and trucks
And pay for our schools –
Not needed for fools
Nor for penniless poor frightened ducks.
As long as the sky’s gonna fall
We’ll never get rid of them all
Until we all change
And think them too strange
To ever pick up when they call.
More real news here than on most channels! AND it’s done all ‘limericky’.
Thanks Realist and Tumblewords!
Vote Republican? Well, in a pinch,
But you’ll never get rid of the stench.
They’re rude and unfair,
And as for their “guerre” …
‘Scuse me if I’m wrong… ain’t that French?

Thanks and happy new year, Steve. And please pardon my French. :)
