Progress?
To be sung with Gwen Verdon to the tune
"If My Friends Could See Me Now"
(If they could see me now, that little gang of mine,)

When they hear from him now,
Those cohorts he's got left,
Will most of them kowtow
Or plead 'twas petty theft?
When will they understand they have nothing to fear.
His pacemaker failed so Dick Cheney's not here.

Has Hastert changed his name
And spelled it diff'rently?
Though Bushie said he's game
He still pronounced the "t".
But what a diff'rence, holy cow,
When Iran hears from him now.

When they hear from him now,
That coterie of his,
Is he the cat's meow
Or Coke that's lost its fizz?
When will his congressmen become aware that
Bushie's gone and lost their lobby body fat?

He had to change his plan
After Hezbollah's wow.
If he attacks Iran,
Will bombing work? No how!
But he'll send word from the hoosegow
That all it took was his know-how.
