Belly Laughs, Not Billionaires
Belly Laughs for Bush? To some it sounds absurd,
But not to Mrs. Jeremiah Withington III,
Who finds that she's offended by the nastiness she hears.
"…Sounds like Joe McCarthy and his vitriolic smears.

"Politics would be more fun if lightened up a bit –
If reactions were a laugh and not a vengeful fit.
Forget debates; let's recreate the show 'Can you Top This?'
Laugh meters would determine who the most amusing is.

"Belly Laughs for Bush? Why he would win each week,
Unlike Billionaires for Bush which some find tongue in cheek.
Who believes we billionaires would ask for lower taxes
And more wars of reconstruction? Like Iraq's?

"Think of all the laughs he'd get if he woud just admit
That he's never read the NY Times's 'News That's Fit'.
He's already told us that he doesn't read a lot,
But admitting he's dyslexic? Gosh, he'll win the pot.

"Complaining Condoleezza never reads him Maureen Dowd?
He would leave them laughing, not a dry eye in the crowd.
No longer could he be accused, each time he plays the king,
Of being Cheney's dummy, just a puppet on a string!"
