Weekly Whistleblower Limerick Contest

What Saith, Soothsayer?

            This week, everybody who plans to attend the Whistleblower’s big “Political Backstabbers Day” celebration on the “Ides of March” to commemorate the date Julius Caesar got stabbed 137 times in the back at a toga party, e-mailed an entry to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.

            The winner is our Anonymous Backstabber at the courthouse, who says “It’s always more fun stabbing somebody in the back when they don’t know who you are.”  

            Anonymous wins rear-view glasses so he can watch his own back, a K-tel knife sharpener, and his immediate induction into the Backstabbing Politicians Hall of Fame. His winning limerick is:

Celebrating Political Backstabbing Day.”
After the voters have all had their say.
To all their chagrin
Whoever gets in
The bronze gods will have feet of clay.

And from the Anderson Laureate (who always says, (After you.”):
Celebrating political backstabbing day
When Brutus took Caesar away
Treachery never abates
It’s just new victims, new dates
For a politician, it’s whatever makes hay.

We could talk about Ron Paul and McCain
And Lindsay of South Carolina fame
But when push comes to shove
There’s only one thing politicos love
Making profit on someone else’s pain.

But if you really want to know about today
Just ask a Carney named Jay
He deserves an award
For being the most cardboard
He’s a butt-kisser, that’s all I can say.

The first line of next week’s limerick is:
“This year on BB&BJ Day”

Remember: We never print all the bad stuff we know and certain people ought to be damn glad we don’t, especially Republicans in Name Only (RINOs).
