(A ballad crooned to the tune of “You Go to My Head” by George W. Bush, with backup by Karl Rove and His Singing Slimemeisters)

Don’t criticize me. ‘Cause that’s just the thing our enemies want.
And it damages our terrorist hunt,
And endangers every grunt at the front.

Yes, Cheney did flog that meeting in Prague, but big deal–
Cheney’s zeal’s his appeal.
And don’t say aloud Condi’s next mushroom cloud was unreal.
We’re sure she’ll have much more to reveal.

Don’t criticize me. Evil foes would welcome that kind of strife.
Since their goal is crushing our way of life,
We might have to smear both you and your wife.
Don’t criticize me.
Don’t criticize me.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
