The Walrus And The Bullshitter

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of wives--and clubs--and oil-for-food--
Of neocon unborns--
And why my moods are boiling hot--
And why Iran has horns."

"But wait a bit," the Senate cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Bullshitter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A lot of smoke," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Piss and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Senators dear,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" Senators cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?"

If Bolton gets in at the UN (a proposition now getting 50/50 odds), Bush will have bought an insurance policy against impeachment: War with Iran and/or North Korea. And no worries about being dogged by a free press; experience shows that the rationales and lies can always be fixed around the war crimes.
