Quick On The Trigger
Old Mac pooh-poohs snap judgments

"My Friends:
Would I make snap judgments?
    You think I'd go to war
With Putin over Georgia?
    What do you take me for?
Would I pick Sarah Palin
    after just one interview,
Deciding she's best qualified
    to be my Number Two?"

    She lost her Bridge to Nowhere,
        but guess who kept the loot?
    Is Trooper-gate an issue,
        or is Hillary's pantsuit?

"My Friends:
Shoot first; ask questions later!
    We never should have lost
In Vietnam, and won't again,
    no matter what the cost.
With Palin's tribe and mine
    in Dick's undisclosed location,
Who'd gamble our first salvo
    would forestall an altercation?"

"My Friends:
Why bother with the Congress?
    Addington has seen to that.
With prior signing statements
    their objections are old hat.
You think I've ever bitten off
    more than I can chew?
Big Tobacco? Bushie's War?
    My immigration whoop-de-do?"
