A Failed Maverick
Even Sarah is not working out

My Friends:
The John McCain you're seeing now?
    Not who you thought you knew!
The chance to be a Putin
    can do strange things to you.

You've seen how few in Congress
    have the stomach left to fight.
So imagine all the power I'd have
    with little oversight.

But I'm just as big a screw-up
    as "W" has been.
I'd be as ineffective
    as I've been time and time again.

Of all the bills that I've proposed,
    so very few have passed.
My legend as a maverick
    was nothing but bombast.

Who would be my surrogates?
    Petraeus will have lost
While "Heck-of-a-Job-Henry
    failed to estimate the cost.

Can you picture Palin panicked
    in the VP catbird seat?
Will it be moose or reindeer stew
    that we'll be urged to eat?
