Congressional Nutjobs
(Fueling Preexisting Conditions)

When will the screening that's supposed to determine
Who is stable enough to purchase a gun,
Become mandatory for all members of Congress
To show who's so ill they'd go back to square one?

How else will we know how many nutjobs it takes
To make sure we contract preexisting conditions?
Would any sane person try repealing healthcare
While approving the sale of machine gun munitions?

What if private insurers reach the conclusion
That nutjobs in Congress are causing the mayhem?
Approval ratings like theirs can't get much lower,
So why are we still stuck with so many of them?

Each of these mentally ill members of Congress
Could cause thousands of voters to risk the loss
Of private insurance on their concealed handguns.
Congressional nutjobs are the bane of Blue Cross.

For Congress is where nutjobs like Izza hold forth,
Where checkered pasts like his no longer matter
To voters not bothered by car stealing and arson,
Who're praying that he won't get badder and badder

And end up in prison like his idol, DeLay,
Or that mental hospital on Capitol Hill…
Unless science advances beyond expectations
And either or both can be cured by a pill.
