Ken & Condi

by Tony Peyser

Ken Mehlman ran Bush's campaign
His success was plain to see
Dubya understandably wants
Him to head the GOP.

Condoleezza Rice will replace
Secretary of State Powell
But both selections may
Cause a bit of a howl.

Rumors have been swirling
That Mehlman is a fairy
And Rice may be a bit like
Cheney's daughter, Mary.

Why isn't The Religious Right
Having a huge hissy?
Because so many of them
Are hypocrites, Missy.

But I have a bipartisan
And rather bold solution
That can help continue
George Bush's revolution.

Instead of fearing the end of
Their political life
Mehlman and Rice should just
Become husband and wife.

Any sexual questions
Will forever be cleared
Condi will wear the pants
But they both will get a beard.

No more hushed whispers
No chance of heavy sledding
Just smooth sailing until
A festive White House wedding.
