The GOP and Chuck Hagel; Where's the Love?

Republicans filibuster Hagel's confirmation as Secretary of Defense

No love for Chuck Hagel in the Senate yesterday;

All of the Republicans decided to delay

Confirmation for their fellow party member 'cause

They oppose the President, no matter what he does.

Tried to send an olive branch; he tapped the GOP,

Asking a Republican to be his nominee.

Hagel, who is only controversial for good sense,

Should have had an easy confirmation for Defense...

But, instead, it's been a struggle from the very start.

2 sides didn't come together; they're farther apart.

They've gone into recess so, for now, Panetta's stuck.

Hope he didn't have vacation plans - He's out of luck.

The 112th Congress - Teats on a Bull

Hello?  Anybody there? (Photo/iowntheworld.com)

Now I see why people want to represent their state;

Congress's vacation benefits are really great.

They are back in recess - after 4 days on the job...

I think that's incredible, and I'm a lazy slob.

Not as if there's any work for them to do.  Oh, wait!

Yes there is.  In fact, they've left a lot still on their plate:

Farm bill, jobs for veterans, the looming fiscal cliff,

All the things they said they'd do to help the working stiff.

But - instead - they're going home, with so much left undone

Can't imagine meeting with their voters being fun.

Cannot work together so the Congress called it quits,

Proving they're as useful as a bull with massive tits.
