Bill Clinton Joins the Campaign

The party knows he has some faults,
But what he has they need: That’s schmaltz.
And what he doesn’t look is French.
So Bubba’s coming off the bench.

The party knows he has some faults,
But what he has they need: That’s schmaltz.
And what he doesn’t look is French.
So Bubba’s coming off the bench.

The Democratic base can’t wait
To listen to their Bill orate
And prove that he is still a mensh.
They welcome Bubba off the bench.

He is their knight who feels their pain–
An empathetic Charlemagne.
And they’ve forgiven him that wench.
So Bubba’s coming off the bench.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
