(with apologies to anyone who has ever loved My Fair Lady)

Oh, poor, poor Dick Cheney
Things in DC are rather zany
"What is the cause," we ask, "of all this fuss?"

Did an interrogation, make him misspeak?
Has an investigation, made him weak?
So confusing is this mess to the rest of us!

But permit me to give some information
Which might provide an explanation
For the whirlpool of stories seen these days

And hopefully by December
No one will even remember
What caused all this latest media craze


Da da dum da

Bop-bop

The reign of Hussein
was main-ly
a big pain.

An Iraqi's bane,
by WMDs
he was sustained.

He would not wane,
or abstain,
though the UN would oft complain.

Resolutions so inane,
by the mundane,
couldn't stop this villain.

Bush said in his campaign,
"He's insane!
And the son of a Great Dane!"

An invasion was pre-ordained,
votes attained,
victory was all but certain.

Kerry, Clinton, McCain,
said "Him contain!
We don't want war again!"

But Bush said, "Give 'em great pain,
it's germaine!"
He was as confident as John Wayne!

So missiles from Bahrain,
bombs from Spain,
were dropped out of airplanes.

A mess Iraq became,
and in flames,
their oil turned into butane.

We occupied their domain,
their people we tamed,
except the insurgents who were determained.

So the Democrats complained,
and chastained,
on the White House it was a strain.

"Where were those weapons Saddam obtained?
What did we gain?"
Was their refrain.

The husband of Valerie Plame,
met with Niger-re-ains,
and said the war was all in vain.

But the top Advisor to Dick Chene-y,
doubted Joe
Wilson's conclou-sains.

He leaked his wife's name,
not know-ain,
she was clandest-ain.

An investigation be-gain,
And charges were filed,
because laws were thought to be broke-ain.

This whole story is bor-ain,
And only intre-stain,
if you smoke Mary Jane.


And that, madam la-da-da-da
Is what happened la-da-da-da

We never got wise-a la-da-da-da
To Saddam's lies, Eliza la-da-da-da

And that's why politicians who do-little la-da-da-da
That's why voters are so non-committal la-da-da-da

And so I will say goodnight la-da-da-da
And hope by morning things will get bright la-da-da-da

Just forget criminal law la-da-da-da
And read George Bernard Shaw la-da-da-da

'Cause politics is shady la-da-da-da
But life is mostly fair, my lady!

(big round of applause!)
