We think you know the trouble you’ve begot, Scott.
So don’t expect from us a thanks-a-lot, Scott.
If you were here, we’d give you such a swat, Scott.
You knew that loyalty is all we’ve got, Scott.
(It’s obvious that Camelot it’s not, Scott.
The chief’s as popular as, say, Pol Pot, Scott.)
And yet you chose this time to send a shot, Scott,
Toward him, who’s paid you since you were a tot, Scott,
Confirming that our neocon-ish plot, Scott,
Hyped weapons just ’cause we were hot to trot, Scott.
And Condi thinks you’re such a little snot, Scott.
Your book has got her knickers in a knot, Scott.
That “mushroom cloud” was something folks forgot, Scott,
Until your talk of propaganda’s spot, Scott,
In launching what’s become our biggest blot, Scott.
You’re hoping that this book will buy a yacht, Scott?
Well, may you sail it down to hell and rot, Scott.

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.
