All Washington, DC, is now atwitter
With talk about some deeds of David Vitter.
With sanctimony, he had always been
Prepared to cast folks out for any sin.
For him, the sanctity of marriage loomed
Above all issues. Gays, of course, were doomed,
And when Bill Clinton misbehaved, Dave's voice
Said resignation was the only choice.
So critics smiled, and backers were appalled
To learn Dave paid to get his ashes hauled.
Once more, for right-wing folks it really rankles
To see who's caught with pants around his ankles.
Who's next? Who knows? But some would take the view
That sanctimony's often quite a clue.
