We Hate Leaks
To be sung with Elton John to Cole Porter's
"I Hate Men"
(I hate men, I can't abide 'em even now and then)

We hate leaks.
It bugs us when we're told Maureen Dowd peeks
To see what new chicanery Karl Rove's about to offer,
To spill the beans on stipends Big Oil wires to Cheney's coffer,
At hunting trips for Hillary where Dick will try to off her.
We hate leaks.

We hate leaks,
The kinds that lead to negative critiques
Of boo-boos that in private we'd admit were idiotic,
That to save his heinie Orrin labels 'patriotic',
Knowing that gay marriage in Utah would be chaotic.
We hate leaks.

We hate leaks.
Unless they're used as one of Rove's techniques
To retaliate against an enemy we hate
Who disagrees with farces we're prepared to perpetrate
Like banning burning flags to impress your first prom date.
We hate leaks.

We hate leaks.
Like those we've suffered through in recent weeks.
To tell folks what we're up to, is nothing but disgraceful,
Like FEMA buying trailers just to have a big airbaseful,
Like Cheney munching Oreos and talking with his faceful.
We hate leaks.
