"DeMint Bails On His Buddies"

(Now it's the money, guys)

The Tea Party's on its last legs.
And except for me it's the dregs,
So guess what I'm hauling to a higher calling.
I'm joining the "long past their sell-by date" eggs.

The pay's so much better for a paper shredder –
Where the pay's not for making a stink –
Than a part-time blackballer who's forced to holler
And drive everybody to drink.

No more pretence at doing,
Such as banning the term "lunatic,"
When all you hear is pooh-poohing.
That can hurt lunatics to the quick.

Plans like the single pay option? No more!
Not from the moment I walk through that door.
Progressive thoughts from Heritage brains?
I'll be the very first one that complains.

My ideology, the one that I know,
I learned from Monopoly: "Do not pass Go."
You lecherous gen'rals? "Go directly to jail."
You're civilian culls. How can I fail?

Yes, I'm a cull, too, but I make lots more dough,
Though I don't collect bosoms like you guys I know.
Bosoms or billions? It's damn hard to choose,
Though these brains at Heritage claim we can't lose.

Obstruction's an art at which I excel.
Do nothing at all? I'm expert,
For all of which they pay very well.
Bosoms? Or Congress? No… I've hit pay dirt.
