Birthday bash
Democrats are planning to bash President Bush on his upcoming 58th birthday. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's online operation sent an e-mail to supporters this week, telling them to compose simple, three-line haiku poems about Mr. Bush, who the DCCC refers to as "the GOP's own bumbling wonder."
The haikus will be collected and delivered to Mr. Bush on his birthday, July 6.
"This July 6th will be a big day for would-be superheroes. Burt Ward, known for his role as 'Boy Wonder' in the 'Batman' TV series, turns 59. Ned Beatty, who played archvillain Lex Luthor's bumbling sidekick Otis in the Superman movies, will be 67," Steve Olson of DCCC's Online Operations writes in the e-mail.
"On that same day, George W. Bush, the GOP's own bumbling wonder, will turn 58 — with your help, we can make sure it will be his final birthday in the White House, and one he won't soon forget."
Mr. Olson urges supporters to "go nuts" and includes a sample haiku in the e-mail:
President Dubya
Fed Halliburton too well
Now Crawford awaits.
The #2 book on Amazon (at least for the past few days) has been a book of poems attacking Bush. I am waiting for "The Mother of All Paper Maiche Puppets" for the demonstrations before the election.
"Total consciousness,
"I got that goin' for me,"
Says groundskeeper Carl.
Czervik says, twitching:
You get a free bowl of soup....
Looks good on you, though.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT!
Fantastic!
Stupid demorats
Can't spoil Dubya's birthday
With their filthy trash
and
John Flip Flop Kerry
Tries hard to steal the spotlight
Half the man Bush is!
John Edwards speaks to
The dead, and that's good, because
He needs all their votes
Can haiku work like that? At least the 5/7/5 is in effect.
Absolutely. And, about Breck boy, it's funny, sad and true! Good one.
This is a hybrid.
Play thirty-six holes on it.
Kentucky Bluegrass....
Jump ship in Hong Kong
A ten-thousand foot crevasse
Gunga galunga
Lacy Underall.
Your uncle molests collies.
A lot of nice ties....
