Petraeus and Crocker Face Hume Humiliation
I had to laugh when I heard about Brit Hume’s exclusive Fox interview with General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker “about the state of the Iraq war and their testimony to Congress.” What’s the matter — wasn’t Hannity available?
Petraeus and Crocker Face Hume Humiliation (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Gen. Petraeus and Crocker on Fox
(Not exactly the school of hard knocks)
Where they weave and they spin
And avow “We must win,”
While Brit Hume bows and kisses their socks.
And now a quick haiku about the purported Iraq violence reduction:
Reducing violence
In Iraq is quite easy:
Redefine violence.
(You can find more of my Petraeus humor here and my previous Brit Hume humor here.)

LOL! Thanks, Steve.
Excellent!

That immediately reminded me of George Carlin, when he said: Changing the name of a condition does not change the condition.
Thanks Tim! I don’t know that Carlin quote, but it sure makes sense to me.
