Reminds me of the fables of the scorpion and the frog and the farmer and the viper.
Good luck to the woodpecker!

I stuck my finger
in a woodpecker’s hole.
The woodpecker said,
“Bless my soul!”

“Pull it out!
Pull it out!
Pull it out!
Remove it!”

From the title I expected the picture to include Boehner and Pelosi. But upon further reflection I realized anything including the word ‘pecker’ wouldn’t apply to either of those two.

When I think of weasels, one specific Democrat comes to mind: Harry Reid. He has a face just like one.

Unless they have giant woodpeckers or very tiny weasels I’m calling BS.
