Bush and Cheney’s Blunderland (Sing to Winter Wonderland<\/a>)
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

Rummy’s great, and he’s staying.
\nNo debate. Stop your braying.
\n“Fantastic” at war!
\nBush Rummy adores.
\nWelcome to Bush\/Cheney’s Blunderland.<\/p>\n

War is hard, but we’re winning.
\nGOP, lies and spinning.
\nOur war in Iraq
\nIs really on track.
\nWelcome to Bush\/Cheney’s Blunderland.<\/p>\n

Bush and Rove are great at building straw men.
\nThen they proudly knock their straw men down.
\nDub implies we’re traitors.
\nWe’ll say, “No Man!”
\nIt’s time to stop pretending you’ve been crowned.<\/p>\n

Ev’ry day, they conspire.
\nReckless knaves, thieves, and liars.
\nThe Bush\/Cheney reign,
\nDemocracy’s bane.
\nWelcome to Bush\/Cheney’s Blunderland.<\/p>\n
