Rep. Bob Ney Lashes Out At Press, Calls 5-Foot-7 Reporter "Big Man"

by Tony Peyser

Yeah, I'll admit this is a cheap shot
And that it's intended to be a slight:
But a guy with that awful a toupee
Shouldn't make fun of anyone’s height.

Ney's rug rests uneasily on his head
Shining like a beacon from a lighthouse
It looks like one of those pillbox hats
That Jackie wore in the White House.

Reports Vary In Zarqawi Death

by Tony Peyser

First he was blown to kingdom come
Then he posed to have a photo taken
Then he died without saying a word
No, he did speak! (They were mistaken.)

Next he tried to roll off of his stretcher
And quite soon I'm expecting to hear
The only reason that he didn't escape
Was Condi hog-tied him just like a steer.
