Newt Ponders White House Bid

by Tony Peyser

Do I hope he runs?
Yes is my answer
Even though he dumped
His wife who had cancer.

Even though you’ll see
The Speaker’s grin turn
If someone mentions
Calista, his "intern."

Newt cheated with her
On Wife #2
While mocking Bill for
That dress that was blue.

(To be fair, Newt did
Get hitched to Calista
But would you want him
To marry your sista?)

Fined 300 grand
It wasn’t pretty
He lied to the House
Ethics Committee.

Few politicians
Have ever been sleazier
Why do I hope he runs?
He'll make my job easier.
