They'll smear your spouse! |

"THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE TO DAVID KAY'S INTERIM REPORT STATING THAT NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION HAVE BEEN FOUND IN IRAQ
The President now says that Kay's report-- Which plainly states that weapons of the sort The White House said Iraq had all around Cannot, despite a thorough search, be found-- Confirms that we were right to go to war To smash those weapons flat forevermore. You say that makes no sense? Well, you can grouse, But then it's possible they'll smear your spouse."
October 27, 2003

"Obliviously On He Sails The Bush Administration in Rhyme"

1. Calvin Trillin is the most over-rated windbag ever. |
|
I'm glad he's on our side, but honestly cannot believe the man makes a living writing sub-middle-school "poetry."

3. We should have a Calvin Trillin poetry slam. |
|
Only poems as bad as the one above would qualify. :P

5. Okay, go for it! Poems must be "bad" in terms of lack of sophistication, |
|
rhymes, rhythms as Trillin's.
But they must also be as good in terms of succinct clever commentary.

4. I find him very amusing! I probably like the very simplicity of his |
|
writing that you label sub-middle school.
