Bush's Bulge

Finding that Bush couldn't hack it,
   they sewed antennas in his jacket
   producing that notorious "Bush Bulge".
The second debate clearly showed it
   although they carefully had sewed it
   inside the back where it might not divulge
The fact that they had Junior wired
   to try to help him sound inspired.
   Too bad they didn't see the questions in advance.

Then they'd have used their wireless link
   to help their candidate lipsnc,
   and show how well their puppet's learned to dance
And skirt around his worst mistakes,
   the ones he never made, but makes
   ev'ry time he gets another chance.

What if Kerry does indulge
   and buys himself his own "Bush Bulge"?
   Pray their wireless signals don't get crossed.
With the Bush team's quarterbacks
   wearing their Rove-colored contacts,
   some might think Bush won and Kerry lost.
