Since I’m the one in charge in war,
I’ll do what I have done before
If it’s consistent with my duties.
Is that an out? You bet your booties.
The boss is boss; he can’t be bossed.
I signed, but with my fingers crossed.

We do not torture, never will.
So why did we oppose John’s bill?v Don’t ask, unless you’d like this plan:
Rendition to Uzbekistan.
McCain won’t win. We haven’t lost.
I signed, but with my fingers crossed.
