Succeeding Without Trying *

Lie to Bush and be promoted,
Another Chalabi devoted
To saying what you think he wants to hear.
Or how about another Condi?
You won't need to be a blondie
If dumb describes, not you, but your bum steer.

Or be an Armstrong Williams hiree.
Sell your soul, but not your diary,
In case you're subject to investigation.
In which case you'll be exported –
Sounds so much better than deported –
We can't embarrass our administration,
Now, can we?

Either that or Novak outs you,
Making sure the whole world doubts you
Just as much as ev'ryone doubts him.
Our Novak's due to be rewarded.
For ethics so completely sordid
He'll promote P.R. for Tiny Kim.
