(The Bushes Do “My Fair Lady” at the Inaugural Balls)

We could have danced all night,
We could have danced all night,
And still had fat cats who
We hadn’t thanked at all
For backing us last fall,
Though soon, we’re sure, they’ll get their due.
There’re those who’d say to dance this way is tasteless
While we lose soldiers day and night.
But no one here would know a fallen GI Joe.
So we can dance, dance, dance all night.

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.
