I must be blunt where Blunt’s concerned:
In service to DeLay he earned
His K Street Brownie points with clusters
For calling lobbyists to musters
Where bills were molded to a tee
By K Street and the GOP.
Yes, money poured from K Street tills
So lobbyists could write these bills.
Reformer’s what they call this guy?
Then I’m the Sultan of Brunei.
