The Next Poet Laureate Of The United States?

I’m thinking that this guy would be a good candidate. Especially after this treat:

There once was a man named McCain
Who had the whole White House to gain,
But he was quite a hobbyist
Of boning his lobbyists -
So much for his ’08 campaign.

A big tip of the hat to Crooks and Liars for getting a link to this out on the intertubes. And extreme thanks to the writers of the Colbert Report for getting back to writing stuff like this for viewing consumption.
