Hastert must resign
Because of his coverup.
No “buts,” no delay.

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006Ode To GOP Hypocrisy (Updated)
Sunday, October 1st, 2006The House GOP leadership seems to be in a bit of trouble for covering up Mark Foley’s predatory Net communications. So I dedicate my Ode To GOP Hypocrisy to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader John Boehner:
Ode To GOP Hypocrisy
By Madeleine Begun Kane
When accusations first arose
V. Foley in the House.
The GOP top leadership
Was quiet as a mouse.
Had Foley been a Democrat
Accused of heinous acts,
Those fellows would have trumpeted
Their “values” to the max.
The scandal keeps getting worse. Did the GOP know about Foley way back in 2001? It sure looks that way.

Foley’s Folly
Saturday, September 30th, 2006By now, you surely know that Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) has resigned in disgrace “amid reports that he had sent sexually explicit Internet messages to at least one underage male former page.” But did you also know that Foley “was credited with writing the sexual-predator provisions of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006?”
Such irony cries out for a limerick:
Foley’s Folly
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There once was a Congressman Foley,
Who acted all pious and holy.
Helping kids was his cause,
But he broke his own laws,
Sending sleaze through the net. Holy Moley!

Torture Bill Haiku

Was cast aside by Congress.
Hideous corpus!

Ode To Bush Loyalists
Sunday, September 24th, 2006George Dub’s defenders shock me still,
Especially those up on the Hill.
Though Bush defies them every day,
Compliantly, they Bush obey.
You’d think those House and Senate guys
Would tire of George Bush’s lies.
But though he treats them with disdain,
On his parade, they just won’t rain.
