Grover Sweats The Default
(Looking for guarantees Cantor and McConnell can pull it off)

Grover is sweating. Will his pledglings stand by him?
How can he be sure that they'll do what they say?
Who in his right mind would trust Eric Cantor?
Murdoch's phone-hacking is the only sure way

To control what he does behind John Boehner's back;
To know what he e-mails his Tea Party crowd
About deterring any increase in revenue;
About forcing default, for crying out loud!

Can Mitch let his millionaires openly bargain
With our millionaires over what taxes they pay
While closing tax loopholes for corporate cronies
That could cut the debt in a meaningful way?

Not likely, and certainly not Eric Cantor,
That loudmouth who wants in, but then walks out.
For now he's a hero to Nurse Nanny Norquist,
As long as he thinks that he's what it's all about.

If the British don't jail all of Murdoch's miscreants,
If they don't extradite Murdoch's plant at The Journal,
His Wall Street phone-hackers will soon gun for Cantor
And it won't help the bum that all skunks are nocturnal.
