Instead of jousting on TV
On how to shape the GOP,
These two, who both cannot be king,
Should get together in the ring
And battle one to one, and then
They’d settle all of this like men.
They’d use mixed martial arts to fight,
Since Rush would want to gouge and bite.
Yes, Rush might show, although spare-tired–
Unless a drug test was required.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, 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.
