Imitation Is the Sleaziest Form of Flattery

Flies buzz
    mosquitoes sting
  I try to whack them
    they both have wings

  Audiences roar
    Politicians sing
  The media attacks them
    They duck the arrows, the slings

They can’t fly away, can they?

Nope. Esp. Pritzker. He can barely duck. Poor bloke can't even see his shoes...

They all lie to some degree. Even the Squad and Waters, But… they are Democrats, hence saints. Yes! That’s the way it is. Like it’s OK to have classified info in my garage with my corvette and son on drugs. Wish I could lie with abandon Fake News never reports this. When they do, the Left is given a PASS. CNN would Heil Hiltler! But go after Santos? I don’t like liars in either party. No morals are lauded. Covered up. Sick Too bad, their lack of integrity, effects the whole planet. Panagiota

So true: If they all lie, why can't I?
