John McCain Is Welcomed Back to the Senate

Well, John, it’s nice to have you back again.
Your colleagues all paid close attention when
You cast all those aspersions on this house.

Well, John, it’s nice to have you back again.
Your colleagues all paid close attention when
You cast all those aspersions on this house.
It’s nice to have you back again (you louse).

Well, John, it’s nice that you have now returned
From leading your crusade–from which we’ve learned
Contributors are those to whom we cater.
It’s nice to have you back again (you traitor).

Well, John, we’re truly glad to see your face.
A pity that you didn’t win your race,
But purity is better, so they say.
So welcome back. We must have lunch someday.

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.
