Were you ever invited to "Join the Navy And See the World" because "Uncle Sam Wants You"? Now restless young men join the Congress instead. It pays a lot better and there's less work to do. They can fly anywhere at taxpayer expense: Deluxe accommodations, they travel first class; No chipped beef on a shingle and of course bring the wife. She won't be all that happy at home cutting the grass. How's Pelosi find time to find fault with Weiner? Is she angry she didn't follow Tony on TWITTER? Not as angry as she and John Boehner should be At the millions their frequent flyers now fritter Away on Congressional junkets to places Their newest spouses always wanted to see, Touring London and Brussels or a picturesque casbah, If there's someone official with whom to take tea. But perhaps it is worth it to fund frequent fliers Although they're not saving the money they promised. Tea Party extremists may thank them in the future If pledges mean nothing to nutjobs like Norquist.
