1. So, no pardon for Paul?

"Paul has issues that he has to deal with"

"The president sends his best regards"

2. I'm sure they would have said the same about Hillary, don't you think?

3. Wow, they can't even go on the record with that?

That seems surprisingly weak.

7. With apologies to Elton John

Sung to the tune of "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues:"

I Guess That's Why He calls It Fake News

Just watch what you say
‘Cause he carries a grudge forever
Between you and me, you know it’s this way
You know he’ll never get better

B.
It won’t go away
Do-nald has still got his pride
And it won’t be long
Before he turns to run
To the tower of gold whe-ee-ere he’ll hide


Chorus:
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news
Can’t understand, what he says is not true
Asking his children
Bragging ‘bout lovers
Bashing Acosta for stories he covers
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news

A.
He’s so out of place
Waving his small little hand
At each press conference, there’s no hesitation
He lies and (he) says he’s the man

The story unfurls
But don’t ask, it won’t help
‘Cause more than ever,
He cares not for truth,
He only cares a-bo-o-out himself

Chorus:
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news
We understand, ‘cause the man has no clue
Asking his children
Bragging ‘bout lovers
Bashing Acosta for stories he covers
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news
