I had to laugh when I heard about Brit Hume’s exclusive Fox interview with General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker<\/a> “about the state of the Iraq war and their testimony to Congress.” What’s the matter — wasn’t Hannity available?<\/p>\n

Petraeus and Crocker Face Hume Humiliation (Limerick)
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

Gen. Petraeus and Crocker on Fox
\n(Not exactly the school of hard knocks)
\nWhere they weave and they spin
\nAnd avow “We must win,”
\nWhile Brit Hume bows and kisses their socks.<\/p>\n

And now a quick haiku about the purported Iraq violence<\/a> reduction<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Reducing violence
\nIn Iraq is quite easy:
\nRedefine violence.<\/p>\n

(You can find more of my Petraeus humor here<\/a> and my previous Brit Hume humor here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n
