"Roger Ailes, Kingmaker"

("Just kidding")

(As the Fox News major kidder he determines
what their Republican nominee kidding is about)

A former political operator was I.
I determined who'd get to give it a try.
Then if they faltered, no more nice guy.
We had potential prospects in great supply.

Then in two thousand and twelve
Something went hellishly wrong.
Even the best ones who came along
Were the kind we would normally shelve.

Was it the stench that Bush left behind,
Or something absurd Grover said
That made a good candidate so hard to find?
Was our crop of camp followers becoming inbred?

So I looked at top brass with few fish to fry
Knowing what sort of babes they attracted.
But McFarland was not as selective as I
And apparently she got distracted.

Too many to bear went for David Petraeus –
Too many for him to keep fighting them off.
Lovely legs, buxom bosoms all said come and play us,
So he did, end of story, sratch the dummkopf!!!
