Premium Member From Californians to Carolinians

   Twenty-four hostages by Hamas released today
     None of them American, is that OK?

   Latest AWRAD poll shows 96% of Palestinians
     against Americans, from Californians to Carolinians

   Think that slaughtering Israelis is their 'final' solution?
     ~ Murdering Americans is their sworn resolution

South Carolinians, give me a break!
If you were my students, you’d fail.
You’ve given your nod to the lout who once hiked
On the fake “Appalachian Trail.”

A governor gone to a place no one knew
With his staffers in fear for his life,
Had to later admit that his hike was a lie
To help hide his “true love” from his wife.

Though that dastardly deed left some angry and hurt,
His constituents seemed to excuse him;
And for Congress, enough of those voters came back – 
Fifty-five percent opted to choose him.

Yes, other politicos lied and had sex
(With a president leaving a stain!),
Yet those voters for Sanford had better beware
For this guy’s surely pulling your chain!
