The Just-Say-No Poster Boy
For Democracy, here and abroad

Mitch Just-Say-No is Iraq's Poster Boy:
Stymie all progress! To Hell with you all!
Don't compromise! Disregard opposition!
Never acknowledge that you're the oddball!

Mitch Just-Say-No has set an example:
No Senate, no government, here or abroad.
Stagnation is what Mitch Just-Say-No is about.
Make sure that it's somebody else who gets scrod.

Is Iraq also cursed with a caretaker government?
Like Just-Say-No, top Shia won't share.
Has Obama forgotten how he got in office?
Mitch's insurgents did not put him there.

How desperate are politicians for power
Neutered and neutral is not how the game's played
Was Obama's camel designed by committee?
That isn't how Nuri al-Maliki's stayed.

But look at how little al-Maliki's done.
Security? Water? Reliable power?
Is Just-Say-No the proper prescription
For another two years as your party's wall flower?
