Vice Presidential Insurance
Advising Obama about picking his Number Two
singing to Rodgers & Hammerstein"s
"Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific
(Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger)

Some would-be assassins
Can't be your assassins
If they think the change will
Be worse than you are.
For somehow they know
If they do you in,
A lousy successor would haunt us again and again.

Most would-be assassins
Could not be assassins
Fearing all the power
Dick Cheney'd assume.
For somehow they knew
If they did Bush in,
That Cheney'd be worse than Bushie times ten.

History has proved it,
Although Bin Laden tried.
Fortunately for him
Ahmed Chalabi lied.

So save would-be assassins
From becoming assassins
By picking a "Cheney"
As your Number Two.
Lieberman on your side,
As Gore must have known,
Means he'll have to hide
While they leave you alone.

Just never pick a Clinton,
As pundits ought to know.
Never pick a Clinton;
You'd be the first to go.
