Unsolicited Advice for Attorney-General Eric Holder

Want to be Attorney General?  Heard they're hiring.

Eric Holder's just announced that he's retiring.

Says he'll stay until someone's confirmed to take his place...

I think he should wait to pack his office - just in case.

I would guess it's 50/50 Congress will agree

To whatever sucker is Obama's nominee.

Some poor slob Republicans will always castigate

In pursuance of their next, pretend "Whatever-Gate."

Someone with the patience and composure of a saint

(Hearings before Congress are like watching drying paint.)

Why someone would put themselves through that I'll never get

But, if I were Holder, I would not start packing yet.

"It's Our Bleeping City"

I was not a victim of the Marathon attacks;

Wasn't near the bombings that stopped Boston in its tracks;

Didn't have my legs blown off and didn't lose a child;

Never went to view the site where running shoes were piled.

Didn't have to shelter in my home while the police

Searched throughout the city; only read the press release.

I have never met Dzhokhar Tsarnaev - never will.

Didn't know the brother who the cops were forced to kill.

Never understood what changed a boy who people liked

Into some crazed radical, or down which roads he's hiked...

Therefore, I'm not qualified and shouldn't have a voice

In his future punishment.  I'm glad it's not my choice.

Eric Holder's seeking death 'cause Massachusetts can't.

40 years ago this state decided that we shan't.

Since the bombs were terrorism, Holder says he rates

Execution 'cause he aimed at the United States.

Tell that to the people who were injured in the blasts;

Tell it to the amputees or those still wearing casts.

They should be the people who decide his punishment...

They're the ones he really hurt and not the government.

The 2nd Term Curse?

What can I say?  I'm a political junkie.

On the Sunday morning shows they talked about a curse;

Said that second terms, for Presidents, are always worse.

Often plagued by scandal - back as far as Jefferson -

Almost makes you think terms should be limited to one.

They could not explain the curse, and yet, it's proven true.

Here's what I don't understand; what did Obama do?

Didn't sleep with interns nor trade hostages for guns,

Didn't wire tap our phones nor commandeer our sons.

Didn't change the "talking points" as it was, falsely, claimed.

Guy who ran the I.R.S. was someone George Bush named.

Neither he, nor Eric Holder, hassled the A.P.

Yet, Obama's demonized throughout the G.O.P.

"Ten times worse than Watergate" and Bachmann would impeach.

This all seems political to me - an over-reach. 

Party not in power wants the other side to squirm.

Not the most auspicious way to start a second term.
