The Rich But Not SuperRich
(And political whores starting from scratch)

How large a corporate nest egg's required
To campaign for office and not be a whore?
Groin-kickers like Linda McMahon fire employees
Rather than beg someone else for some more.

But she's an exception compared with Mitt Romney.
Why spend his own millions when he can con Koch?
Mitt's "Free… Strong America" leadership PAC
Means Koch money gets wasted and Mitt never goes broke.

That way any left over becomes Mitt's to do with
However he wants to, like buying Pawlenty,
Or the governorship of states like California
Where eBay's Meg Whitman has already dropped plenty.

Fortunately SCOTUS now allows politicians
To sell themselves
to whomever they want.
So now any fraud without his or her nest egg
Can belong to any SuperRich dilettante.

But now with "Dilettante Donors Anonymous",
As The Chamber of Commerce has come to be known,
It's hard to be certain just whose whore is whose…
And we believed whores do what they do on their own?
