Rahm Emanuel
An insurance industry mole?

Whose pocket's Rahm Emanuel in?
    Aetna's or Blue Cross's?
Is he another Cheney
    who's forgotten who his boss is?

Or could he be an undercover
    mole for the insurers?
What would it take to buy Rahm off?
    Six sexy manicurers?

Plus full coverage for Mayor Daley
    when Rahm's co-op plans don't work,
Despite endorsements by Blue Cross?
    Perhaps a future Senate perk

For scuttling Teddy's public plan
    that scares insurers silly?
Aren't they chipping in so they won't
    have to worry will he

Tell Obama what they are
    determined he should hear?
"No plan to pass a public plan
    till August of next year."

Chicago deals and politics
    made Rahm a millionaire.
Why shouldn't Aetna and Blue Cross
    contribute their fair share?
