Washington reeks of cronyism <br />A trait methinks un-ethical <br />So closely linked to phony-ism <br />Of politicians path-etical <br /> <br />A crony not well certified <br />To legally adjudicate <br />Can’t be judicially qualified <br />To act as a Supreme Court magistrate <br /> <br />With all due respect to Miss Meirs who <br />Most non-partisans agree <br />Was not suited for the job she aspired to <br />As the Supreme Court nominee <br /> <br />Her paper trail, inauspicious <br />For both right wing and left <br />Her resume, not propitious <br />As a justice she wouldn’t be deft <br /> <br />This nominee, another Bush blunder <br />To add to his “Shock and Awe” <br />He’s made good thinking folk wonder <br />What new blunders he has in store <br /> <br />Cheyney, Rumsfeld, Rove and Rice <br />An unfortunate White House blend <br />He’d be better served without their advice <br />But they’re his cronies to the end<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bushy-tailed-cronies/
