Summary: Does the Bush Administration sound any better in rhyme? In this biting array of verse, it at least sounds funnier. Calvin Trillin employs everything from a Gilbert and Sullivan style, for describing George Bushs rescue in the South Carolina primary by the Christian Right (I am, when all is said and done, a Robertson Republican), to a bilingual approach, when commenting on the Presidents casual acknowledgment, after months of trying to persuade the nation otherwise, that there was never any evidence of Iraqi involvement in 9/11: The Web may say, or maybe Lexis-Nexis / If chutzpa is a word they use in Texas.
