Political Piggy Banks (How money launderers end up supporting trophy girlfriends) A "leadership" PAC is a pol's gift from heaven, From the Chamber of Commerce, or from Billionaire Kochs. By not spending dough when the dough was donated, They've more dough for living it up than most folks. Retired or defeated, it does't much matter. What they squirrel away becomes theirs to keep And comes in real handy for those destined to be What's known in the trade as a "lobbyist creep", Currying favors with former associates, Paying whatever it takes for their votes, As long as there still is enough in the kitty For sufficient Viagra to sow their wild oats. Fancy hotels and D.C.'s finest eateries Are expensive with or without trophy wives. Not many young interns are content with MacDonalds, Or to be trophy girlfriends the best years of their lives. Politicians love loopholes the way SCOTUS does. But only a fool would buy Ginni a thong Instead of campaigning for just one term in Congress And a second career of wine, women and song.
