Supreme Court Justice Tom DeLay *

Supreme Court Justice Tom DeLay
   can never be impeached
Despite illegal junkets and
   the foolishness he's preached.
He claimed he wasn't guilty and
   who could ever doubt him?
He changed the House's ethics rules;
   committees couldn't out him.

No one could stop his nomination –
   there was just no way.
He had the Congress pass a law:
   The next Justice? Tom DeLay!
Couldn't be Karl Rove, Jeb Bush,
   Trent Lott, or even Frist.
Like creepy Orrin Hatch they were
   too slow to get the gist

Of what pugnacious Tom DeLay
   and lobbyists now claim
Is the only foolproof way for him
   to never take the blame
For illegal contributions,
   travel junkets and whatever;
And, as he himself has proved,
   you needn't look that clever.

The key is to promote yourself
   until you're high enough
To rule that only you should be
   allowed to do that stuff.
He'll bounce Chief Justice Rehnquist,
   and then do the same for Annan –
With Bolton's help they'll outlaw
   any future DeLay pannin'.

Who else could he be gunning for?
   What else could he replace?
Maybe, oh, just maybe,
   our grinning Fueher's face?
