Begala's Insult

Paul Begala called Obama's supporters eggheads and that wasn't nice.
I want him to keep his mouth shut and I don't want to have to say it twice.
Obama is a terrific person and he deserves our votes.
The words irritate me that came from Begala's throat.
His words annoy me like a toothache.
Mister Begala can go jump in the lake.

The Virgin

You are saving it for marriage because premarital sex is a sin.
But some people are making fun of you because you're a virgin.
I think what you're doing is very great indeed.
It's refreshing to see someone wait until they're married.
But those people keep making fun of you and they won't give you a break.
What they're doing is wrong, tell them to go jump in the lake.
