The political poetry of John Dingell

Must-read:

Zoe Kentucky of Demagogue fame quotes the wonderful poem that Rep. Dingell (D-MI) recited on the House floor in opposition to a gratuitous (and unnecessary) pro-Christmas resolution -- see here.

Best stanza:

Gas prices shot up, consumer confidence fell.
Americans feared we were in a fast track to... well.
Wait, we need a distraction, something divisive and wily,
a fabrication straight from the mouth of O'Reilly.

Christmas is hardly under siege. Bill O'Reilly, who's leading this stupid crusade, is an "illiberal paranoid conspiracy theorist".

And John Dingell is very funny... and right on the mark.
