McChrystal Goes Public
Too big for his britches?

Why's McChrystal going public
    instead of playing ball?
He's acting as if his should be
    the one and only call.

No way is he the manager,
    the umpire and the player.
So why resent Pelosi
    as an owner and taxpayer?

He wants to pack the outfield –
    five each in center, left and right.
They'd bump into each other
    but he'd claim he won the fight.

Still the foe he should be fighting's
    not the Afghan Taliban,
But here at home: the RNCC
    Taliban Republican.

A Taliban Republican
    like Ken Spain's a greater threat
To free speech by a woman
    that his party's out to get.

Eighty percent male and
    one hundred percent white,
Spain's NRCC shouts out against
    an elected woman's right

To make the point that Secretary
    Gates has hinted at.
McChrystal's job description
    doesn't mention "fireside chat."
