Kids, Say Hi to Your New Secretary of State

by Tony Peyser

One thing Condi Rice
Doesn’t seem to abhor
Is torturing Iraqi
Prisoners of war.

She’s from Alabama
Which back in the day
Was down big time
With the KKK.

The Klan used white sheets
When up to no good
Some troops in Iraq
Used a black hood.

Both of them are wrong
When shove comes to push
Unless you’re the mouthpiece
For President Bush.
