Factious GOPers
(Giving Wall Street a say)

Two fighting factions of pissed off GOPers
Do not augur well for getting much done.
DeMint convinced Mitch to speak out against earmarks,
But Kentuckians mucking their own stalls? Nine-one-one!

The U.S. Constitution as endorsed by Scalia
Gives Congress a mandate to spend taxpayer dough
On its pet projects that others find flaky
Like Alaska's famed bridge that had nowhere to go.

And Inhofe's demand for more cactus plantations.
Oklahomans are claiming their state's drying out,
So while Inhofe denies that the world's warming up
They need cacti earmarks to deal with the drought.

But with old Mitch anti-cacti and Inhofe in limbo
They're begging Tea Partiers for a pinch hitter,
Seeing no need for James Inhofe remaining
In a party so pure it refuses to fritter

Money away that will stay in the budget
To be used any way that Tim Geithner wants,
Assuming he somehow retains his position
As spokesman for Altman's Wall Street renaissance.
