[lbo-talk] Iraq, from bad to verse

[Carl Remick]

As if things weren't bad enough already, pretentious NY Times columnist 
Nicholas Kristof has initiated an "Iraq War Poetry Contest."  There are 
almost 150 submissions already, virtually all of them exercises in solemn 
handwringing, conferring senseless dignity on this dumbass fiasco.

OTOH, here's what I just submitted:

There once was a moron named Bush,
Whose head was jammed right up his tush.
He invaded Iraq,
Turned its future all black.
It's time that we gave him a push.

LBO combat rhymesters may post their own entries here:
