Explanation

well, hell, people; because there isn't enough political doggerel written anymore; and because I had jury duty today and needed to fill the time.  And no, I wasn't called. 

The Ballad of Dick and Scoot

Ol' Dick Cheney had a pal,

A guy named Scoot.

(Well, what the hell, that's one count against him.)

Then Scooter fell

To Patrick Fitzgerald

(The hunky legal eagle).

But W said,

"Gotta respect the jury,"

And commuted Scoot.

(His babies were acryin'

and Harriet awailin'.)

So Scoot went home,

A hero to the masses

of Bushie Admin Staffers

(But not to 41's:

Brent Scowcroft thew a googlie

and said that if he lied,

He oughta go to jail).

Poor Ol' Scoot.

Better luck next time --

Try to pick out friends

that don't carry swords --

The easier to fall on.
