Blame the Page

[SalmonChantedEvening]

Blame the Page (To the tune of Turn the Page – Bob Seger)

In a long line they’re forming, pundits of the right
To insure the story’s edited, so come election night
The party’s safely distanced from the scandal now an open sore

Oh Bill Clinton they are conjuring, the way they always do
Even though a 16 year old page, ain’t Monica Redux
They’re really only hoping this shit ain’t stuck to them too

(CH)
Now who to blame, where’s that list again
The Democrats, this sinful age
Alcohol, an abusive priest
Hey I know, blame the page

And by now it’s dawned on Hastert that, he will soon be rolled
His protection was the Boehner, that’ll cause his tent to fold
In the end he’ll know to coddle you was stupid a la mode

Most crimes crimes like this you have fought, or was it a sham
The committee you chaired, I hope they won’t be damned
Tied forever to a member and the pall cast by his scam

(CH)

Out yourself you think might be a winning card to play
Red meat for the uninformed, but still you run away
Because gay men, they love gay men, not in schoolyards do they play

After the excuses and the spin’s been put to bed
And you think responsibility’s been washed of your head
The emails and the messages scream the truth instead

(CH - repeat)

6. Everyone is to blame except Foley and those who enabled him.

The script has been typed up, and the actors must read their lines or they and their "seekrits" are next.

Roveball in a nutshell.

16. This whole situation gnaws at me

It isn't sbout Foley being a member of Congress, though him being the chair of the committee was an added dose of anger. Anytime children are in this kind of situation with adults my blood boils, no matter the age of the child.

Thanks for always supporting my writing lars. :hug: :pals: :loveya:

17. That's why I don't like the jokes...there's a kid in there being hurt.

This stuff just goes off the irony meter.
I didn't mean to make light of the situation at all with my smiley.
I was just glad that you set your lyrics to a tune I knew,*she said creakily, muttering young whippersnapper under her breath* :D :hug:
