on a lighter note: The Ballad of Scooter Libby (to the tune of The Wreck of the Old 97, or Charley on the MTA) Let me tell you a story 'Bout a guy named Scooter And this story it has a point. He was Cheney's lieutenant, Took a fall for his bosses And got thirty months in the joint. Chorus: But did he get to the pen? No he's out of the pen, 'Cause he's one of Cheney's men. He showed no repentence He won't serve his sentence And he sure stayed out of the pen. It was old Joe Wilson Told us Bush was lyin' When he said about old Saddam, That "he's buyin' up parts And we're sure he's tryin' To build him a nucular bomb." Then Dick Cheney said "We're gonna get Joe Wilson He can't talk about us that way. We can get at his wife, Tell the Wall Street Journal That she works for the CIA." When the FBI Came to talk to Libby 'Bout who outed Valerie Plame, Scooter wound up being Just a little bit fibby, Said he barely remembered her name. ch. Scooter was charged with obstruction of justice for his bits of dishonesty He was was tried and convicted He was sent off to prison Just as sad as he could be. But then W. said: "I sure like that Scooter And I do hate to see his pain, So I'll do him a favor, Since I am the Commuter." And Scooter walks free once again. ch. Now listen my friends All across the nation To the moral that ends this tale: You can break any law for this Administration And you'll never ever end up in jail. Final ch: And will you go to the pen? No you'll be out of the pen, If you're one of Cheney's men. You can show no repentence You won't serve your sentence And you'll sure stay out of the pen. Happy 4th of July. michael
