Johnny Footnote
Speculating about an angry McCain's role as Bushie's footnote
singing to Rodgers & Hart's "Johnny One Note"
(Poor Johnny One-Note sang out with gusto)

Will Bushie's footnote
End up like Custer
Assuming he gets past first base?
Fans of the old goat
Now wonder will he
Forget why he's still in a race
And try to help Bushie save face?

Sure he'll beat the drum,
Kick a little ass,
But neglect the "scum"
Who depend on gas.

Poor Johnny Footnote
Married an heiress
Expecting that he'd get a cut
By changing her tax bracket, but
His economics
Cause late night comics
To laugh till they're blue in the face
While we're 'tween a rock and hard place.

"Never tax the rich.
If employees snitch,
Throw them all in jail,"

Will his mem'ry fail?
"Sunni or Shia?
Where's North Korea?"

Mix a nasty rant
With a little rave?
Trouble is he can't –
One foot's in the grave.

Bitch, Johnny Footnote, real loud!
"Bah!"
Beaten, and borrowed, and bowed!
