(From the new musical by George Bush & Karl Rove, The Buck Stops There.)
First Tenet said, "The fault is mine.
I should have looked at every line."
Then someone at the NSC
Said, "No, George. Please. Not you. It's me."
It's everybody's fault except the boss's.
They're coming forth to take the blame in hordes.
They all say they're the one the albatross is.
There's clanging as they fall upon their swords.
