Hubris Dies Hard
For some Republicans

Republicans bragging they're back in the saddle
    are ignoring they're lacking a horse.
How's their negativity going to endear them to voters?
    Can't they see that it's grounds for divorce?

A failed filibuster when their votes are needed
    to rescue us all from disaster
You'd think might enlighten a hack like McConnell;
    but, no, he and Boehner
Will view it as proof they're the new lord and master.

Delusion, we'd hoped, left for Texas with Bushie,
    but it still is a staple on much cable news.
If you've got the stomach, or wish to do penance,
    watch G.O.P. "strategists",
With a staight face, denying that they're born to lose.
