Born a Clinton is egregious enough,
To marry the son of a crook, rough.
So run the Clinton money pool,
$65,000 for a speech, so cool.
The money train life for this cream puff.
Who is she? Please, no pictures.

The outrageous Supreme Court decision last Friday represents an egregious takeover of the United States of America by the Queers—led by Kagan and Ginsburg, two “judges” who had presided over same-sex “weddings” prior to rendering this “decision”!!!!
Time to bring back the Confederacy!!!!
