Said George Bush to Cheney one day
So they tapped a lady Realtor named Drake
Her blind loyalty no one could fake
Then she slimed a Marine
As insufficiently mean
And a Congressional seat she did take.
Thelma slavishly sold Bush's war
Like your favorite two dollar whore
Didn't know Shi'ite from Sunni
She seemed kinda loony
Stay the course! What's my brain really for?
Next Drake faced Phil Kellam of the Beach
House victory was in Democrats' reach.
Phil caught her red-handed
But Thelma's Rovian mud landed
And you couldn't clean that slime up with bleach.
Then in Congress for four years she voted.
Hates the press, 'cause she's always misquoted.
She tried buyin' a highway
For Pat Robertson's byway
Even Bush laughed when this one was floated.
Then Thelma Drake noticed the thrill
Democrats took over Capitol Hill
Oops! she voted against vets
How dumb can she get?
Then she lied about Webb's GI bill.
Drake voted against children's health
While boosting her personal wealth
She bought some foreclosures
Risked negative exposure
But hey, she won't have to tighten her belt!
She campaigns against liberals with smears
Blames them that base closings came near?
As you will recall
Drake did nothing at all
Now she's selling us nothing but fear.
So what did Drake push this time?
As usual, she chose to throw slime
But drill, baby, drill
Gives her a big thrill
Big Oil off our shore? That's sublime!
As Drake's party started to crack
She did nothing but nap, then attack
As Thelma continued to lie
Said voters keen on Glenn Nye
Let's get rid of that old partisan hack!
As election night drew to a close
It wasn't clear who voters chose
No concession from Drake
How much more can we take?
But it looked like Glenn Nye by a nose.
While we think what a Nye victory means
We know that a new broom sweeps clean
Bush's rubber stamp friend
Has now met her end
And can quietly fade from the scene.
