Limerick Ode To Chuck Grassley

Wednesday, June 5th, 2013

Sen. Chuck Grassley seems to take great pleasure at sending nastiness in President Obama’s direction, as well as bogus court-packing claims. Well, we now know why; Poor Charles Grassley was knocked off Obama’s speed dial.

Grassley whines about four call-less years and lots of other stuff in an hour-long interview with The Hill — a nauseating read.

Limerick Ode To Chuck Grassley
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Chuck Grassley is feeling rejected,
Disrespected, and sorely neglected;
The Prez used to call,
But no more — not at all.
Chuck in more than one way’s disconnected.

SCOTUS-Scolding Scandal? (Limerick)

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

Wow! When I wasn’t looking, President Obama apparently mugged the U.S. Supreme Court:

To the fainting couch! Obama attacked the Supreme Court and threatened it with a backlash, should it strike down his tyrannical scheme to impose a government takeover of health care on the nation!

That’s what many conservative writers and even some centrist ones are arguing. They are saying that Obama’s words about the Court yesterday were “unsettling” and a “witch-hunt,” and they’re likening them to F.D.R.’s efforts to pack the Court in retaliation for decisions striking down New Deal initiatives.

Please. If what Obama said yesterday is an “attack,” it’s pretty timid stuff indeed.

SCOTUS-Scolding Scandal? (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

The very same wingnuts who blast
So-called “activist courts” are aghast
And are faulting Obama
With petulant drama:
“He’s attacking the Court,” they lambaste.

Seems those wingnut Supremes need a hug,
Cuz Obama’s a meanie and “thug.”
His complaint, although mild,
Is driving them wild.
Those guys are sure easy to bug.
