(Got a new verse, or an improvement on what’s here? Drop it in the comments.)
There once was an agent named Plame
who Karl Rove considered “fair game.”
So Bob Novak, our hero,
showed integrity zero
by shamelessly outing her name.
Once public, she had to quit spying;
one hopes her associates aren’t dying.
Scooter Libby said, “hey,
I said nothing, OK?”
But Fitzgerald said Scooter was lying.
Meanwhile, over at NSA,
secret wiretaps by night and by day.
Bush said “Article II
lets me do what I do.”
What’s become of the U. S. of A.?
‘Bout those wiretaps, no one ever’d have known,
had a leaker not picked up the phone.
There ensued a delay,
but at last, light of day,
and the whole program’s cover was blown.
Now Bush tells us the leak’s a big crime!
And Gonzales says, “who dropped that dime?”
But it cannot be doubted
that when Plame was outed
Bush said “no big deal. Take your time.”
