For various and sundry Years -
Various and sundry Senators and Representatives -
Have had various and sundry Convictions -
For various and sundry Crimes!
Although few have ever been Beheaded, or Hung - ALAS!
Their ‘punishments’ have run the Gamut -
From a Smack on the Knuckles - to a Warning -
To ‘Public Service’ - to Fines - to Actual ‘Limited’ Jail Time!
The Gamut of Crimes?
From DWI - to DUI - to Fraud - to Sex Crimes -
To Embezzlement - to Mismanagement of Funds -
To Wife-Beating - to Drunk and Disorderly.
And just Who - Polices Them?
Their very own ‘Ethics Committee!’
What a Total Farce!
The ‘Pot calling the Kettle - Black!’
Can you just imagine the evening Discussions -
When the ‘Good Ole Boys’ gather Together?
“Wow, Sam - you really gave me a grillin’ Today!”
“Sorry, Joe - had to make it look good, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, but you didn’t need to bring up that ‘HO’ Thing!”
“Did you say ‘Whole’ or ‘Ho’?”
“The Pay-off of Prostitutes - my Dear Friend!”
“Key-Rist Joe - you got caught with your Pants Down!”
“Well, how was I supposed to know it was a ‘Sting’ Operation?”
“Cheese, Joe - you’ve been getting away with it for Years -
Haven’t you learned Anything?”
“It’s Unfair - it’s Entrapment - that’s what it Is!”
“Next time - Joe - use Cash, not your Credit Card!”
“But Sam - that’s all she would Take!”
“I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, can You?”
“Sorry Sam - I’ll be more careful next Time!”
“Well, that’s enough talk about your minor Dalliances -
Let’s talk about this next Bill -
What kind of ‘Pork’ can we add On?”
“It’s for the Vets - so how about an NRA Entitlement?”
“John - what about that Indian Casino Fiasco?
Any new angles we can Swing?’
“I dunno, Sam - that Sonofabitch wants Three Million!”
“What about - Walter, or Henry, or Jack, or Matt?”
“Aw - they’ve got their heads up their Arses -
Too busy raising campaign money, you Know!”
“Billy-Bob - what about those Arms Appropriations?”
“The damned GM CEO wants more for Hummers!’
“That’s OK Harry - our ‘cut’ will be higher Also!”
“It’s getting so difficult splitting up all these pieces of Pie -
I’m trying to set up more Swiss Bank Accounts, how about You?”
“Naw - Off-Shore Accounts - that’s where I Hide It!’
“Anybody got any more new ideas on muddying the Water -
For this Damned Health-Care Reform Crap?”
“The Insurance guys are raising Holy Hell!”
Medicare and AARP are bitchin’ up a Storm!”
“Screw the Seniors! Screw the Vets! Screw the Public!’
“What do they know? Give ‘em more Rhetoric!”
They couldn’t get out of a wet paper Bag!”
“That’s enough Business - DEAL THE CARDS!”
“HEY DICK - CAN WE PLAY ‘DEUCES WILD’?”
Or maybe even - ‘Chase The Queen?’
'Congress - God Complex?' Ummm - ya think? I do. Creeps. What's good for the goose ain't necessarily good for the gander. Especially when it's OUR goose is getting cooked.
You gotta hidden mike in there?? After wasting far too much time in D.C., in my so called career, I couldn't wait to leave that terrible place, for good.
Serial killer Ted Bundy's murders recounted from the perspective of thirty years after his execution in a Florida prison.
Brutal, compelling, with new updated facts about the case, his victims and the compulsions that drove Ted Bundy to mass murder.
PI novel set in Manhattan during the 1980s when art galleries and model agencies were the two most glamorous businesses in the world. Dangerously well written.
