Fitzmas Carol--Harri the Brown-Nosed Counsel

[Demeter]

Harri the brown-nosed counsel
Wrote in very girlish prose
How Bush was such a hero
From his earplug to his toes!

All of the other lawyers
Used to laugh and call her names
They couldn't see how'd Harri
Join in any S'preme Court games!

Then 4 days before Hallows Eve
Harri came to say:
"Georgie though you're really bright
I withdraw from confirmation fight!"

Then all the scoffers chuckled
as they shouted out with glee
"Harri the brown-nosed counsel,
You are now just history!"

1. Nice! Hey, I wrote Miers carol too!

cue music: "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"

Judiciary roasting o'er a harried Miers,
Biden showing off his plugs,
Cronyism inquiries from Democrats,
and hostile questions from Repugs,

Everybody knows a turkey like this nominee
Will crash and burn off in a blur
Brownback, Graham, Schumer, Kennedy -
Will find it hard to vote for her

They know a new SCOTUS pick's on his way
Better or worse than Miers?
Who can say -

And ev’ry DUer
is gonna hope
Bush never gets his way, he'll be on his last rope -

And so, I’m offering this simple phrase
For use by any at DU
It should be said, many times, many ways;
“Harriet Miers? Not You!”
