Sir Richard of Durbin: A Dr. Seuss From Beyond The Grave Tale

In the whole of the world there is none more speech frantic

Than Sir Richard of Durbin, Crown Prince of Bad Antics

From his perch high atop the United States Senate

Sir Richard screamed “foul” and then said that he meant it.

Stalin and Hitler and also Pol Pot

Bad men I concur, but not compared to this lot

For Bush and his Gulag have surpassed them all

How? Take a seat and relax and let me recall.”

Sir Richard leaned forward and commenced his tale

It was how do you say… oh yes… quite a whale.

“The temperature’s cold no wait now it’s hot

Is this how we treat our fellow humans? It’s not.

And long before Thermometergate charges were filed

Came the news that the holy Q’aran was defiled.

Oh the horror, the shame, the cries for your mommy!

To place the Holiest of Books in a fecal tsunami!

But wait, that’s not all, not by shots short nor long

These Army devils keep playing the most vile of songs!

This form of torture is too cruel to consider

Nastier still than the Doo-daddle-diddler!

Brittney Spears, Celine Dion and Manilow too

These poor fellows can’t take it, quite frankly, could you?

Sir Richard sat back with a grin ‘cross his face

He could tell by their looks they had bought this disgrace.

He imagined what came next for Sir Richard of Durbin

Perhaps he’d trade his Cubs cap for a turban?

Satisfied he was achieving what he thunked that he would

The Crown Prince continued, he was feeling quite good.

“Who among us can wonder what response this elicits?

Their religion is peaceful, but does have it’s limits.

The blame for the bombs, fires and decapitations

Lies squarely at the feet of this administration.

You are a bad man you George Double-U

Not only I think it, but Michael Moore too.

Hollywood, France and Vermont are concurrers

Penn, Depp and Couric add their names to the slurrers .

With microphones poised and lots of low aiming

The MSM reporters kept the fires a-flaming.

“Sir Richard,” one asked,” if I may be so bold

How do you know it is true what you’ve told?”

Sir Richard lit up right before them all

And prepared to thwack this question softball.

My dear friend what a terr-if-ic question

I was just about to go in that direction!

The reason I know that my words are so true?

I was told so by Muhammad al Khalid bin Soo

A nice Arab student who wrote me from Gitmo

He told me it’s true, and that makes it so.

Satisfied with the answer and with no follow-up

The reporters nodded as one and said “yep”.

At that point Good Sir Richard began his big ending

The crowd was all ears for the message he was sending.

“If you listen at night you can just hear the squeals

From Muslims being served culturally insensitive meals

Is that what we’ve become in the U.S. today?

By Fidel Castro’s beard, the answer is ‘nay’!

Not as long as my liberal-moonbatty brethren

Can still manage to manipulate public opinion!

He hornswaggled and spun, he raved and he ranted

The hippies held poorly spelled signs and they chanted.

But something was different, quite different this time

I noticed it just past a glassy-eyed mime.

A group of young people with laptops a-glowing

Were speaking to each other with info a-flowing.

They weren’t joining in with Sir Richard’s Bush-floggers

Their facts came from some people called bloggers.

Right Wing News, Michelle Malkin & Captain’s 1/4’s

Dispensed stories with truth, they weren’t following orders.

The Mudville Gazette and Ace of Spades blog

Had all had enough of this Bush-bashing nob.

It became crystal clear there was a turn in the tide

Mindless drivel was something they wouldn’t abide.

Despite all the help from the alphabet networks

Despite ignorant screams of “killer” and “jerks”

Sir Richard, Patron Saint of Islamic fundies

Was roundly pimp-slapped by infidels in their undies.

History will recall him as a left-wing disgrace

And that is as plain as The Nose On Your Face.

    Durbin Apologizes

    Senator Durbin has just apologized on the floor of the US Senate. Right now, Lieberman is finally saying something about it…but he’s saying “Who among us hasn’t misspoke and said something and have it misunderstood”, etc.

    Patriot Xeno- once again RHOG is the trendsetter. Everyone else is just a pale immitation.

    Dick Durbin Tries a Non-Apology

    A few days ago Durbin insisted he wouldn’t apologize.

    I’m certainly not going to be intimida…

    Durbin’s sorry…still a dick

    Gag me with a freaking spoon. On the bright side, add Durbin’s head on the wall of victories for the right side of the blogmob.

    THANK YOU to my friends who have been filling in the obvious lack of real content from me here in the last week or so. If you are a reader of this blog, please add them to your regular reading if they aren’t part of it already!

    Very funny. Dickhead Durbin is truely a scum of a human being much less a senetor. Blame America First. Some call Bush a lame duck but Durbin is a stupid fuck.
