On Passing Up Marc Racicot for Attorney General in Favor of John Ashcroft
This Racicot seemed like Bush’s sort of guy:
Pro-life, he thought that killers ought to fry.
Though right-wing to the core in many ways,
He was, the Christian right said, soft on gays.
They told Bush that he ought to give the nod
To Ashcroft, who believes he speaks for God.
“OK,” said Bush. Though not perhaps so glad, he
Bowed quickly to the wackos, like his daddy–
Yes, like the Bush to whom we bid adieu.
We now know what we have here: Lapdog II.Calvin Trillin
