Recently Aired Footage Shows "Jeff Gannon" Discussing Outed Spy

by Tony Peyser

What amused me most
Was that this sham
Called Valerie Plame
Valerie Plam.

To make this mistake
Is incredibly lame
And further cheapens
His unseemly fame.

Any reporter
Who’s worth a damn
Would’ve known the name
Of this dame on the lam.

Lots of common words
Look just like Plame:
Like blame and same
And game and tame.

I fear that Gannon
Won’t outlive his shame
Drawn to the spotlight
Like a moth to a flam.
