Rating The Ditherers
Mrs. W rates CNBC's Mark Haines
and Obama's Timid Timmy

"Why's that ditherer, Mark Haines,
    still a co-host at The Squawk?
Spectacles are off, then on,
    as the lecher tries to gawk
At the dish he's partnered with,
    I pray only on TV.
Why does Erin need Mark Haines?
    She's the one we want to see.

"Mark Haines' performance makes me laugh.
    CNBC keeps me in stitches.
Timid Timmy? Not so much.
    I find I cringe each time he switches.
But we Withingtons are certain
    whose dithering annoys us more.
Not Mark Haines' attempts at gawking.
    We're tired of Tim's revolving door.

"How'll Tim solve the banking crisis?
    So far he's gone nowhere fast.
Should he buy the failing banks,
    or by bailing pray they last?
Mark Haines and Tim? No way they'll stop.
    Off and on, then pro and con.
By the time they make their minds up,
    what they've banked on could be gone."
