Limericks for John Kerry

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 24, 2007 12:13 PM

A few days ago, The Hill noted John Kerry’s nasty mocking of Sen. David Vitter’s D.C. Madam-related woes. Kerry was speaking at a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fund-raiser last week:

Kerry made light of the situation with a limerick when he spoke at the event, which was held, appropriately enough, in Nantucket, Mass.

“There once was a man named Vitter
Who vowed that he wasn’t a quitter
But with stories of women
And all of his sinnin’
He knows his career’s in the — oh, never mind,” Kerry said.

The poem was reported by ABC News on Friday and confirmed to The Hill by a Democratic aide who attended the event.

Lucianne’s rhyming readers have responded with their own verses. A sample:

A snawb’ly gaunt eater of pickles,
and his wife, an enjoyer of prickles,
sneer at collegues’ missteps
and hoi polloi schleps
as they pinch inherited nickles.

There once was a Bay Stater pol,
Who thought he had married a doll,
When honeymoon ended,
Mr. Kerry lamented,
His doll was a chain with a ball.

So he struck out at Senator Vitter
In a way a that’s as sad as it’s bitter
“cause Teresa’s huge stash
keeps John home counting her cash,
It acts like a big baby-sitter.

There once was a phony named Jawn
Who almost sailed in on a con
He thought he was shifty
But got beached by the Swifty
Now lives as the Gigolo Mon

There once was a strange Gigolo
Who married and married for dough
He made up a war story
Puffed it up for his glory
But won’t sign his own one eight oh

A horse-faced young man served in Nam,
Whose war record turned out to be sham.
When confronted with fact,
He swiftly attacked,
‘’I say, don’t you know who I am?’’

Keep scrolling. Great stuff.

More!

Hot Air’s wordsmiths were busy composing a few days ago:

There once was a man named Lurch
Whose comrades in arms he’d besmirch
His future was bright
The election was tight
Til Swift Boaters did their research

    There once was a Senator who told
    Lies that were big and were bold.
    Til those he despised
    Torpedoed those lies
    And now he is out in the cold.

    One of many reasons he wasn’t elected

    He served a few months on a boat
    Then he left his dear crewmates to gloat
    Of the service he’d done
    And crimes others called fun
    Followed by pleas to us all for our vote

    Since then in the Senate he’s served
    Accepting perks that are never deserved
    Obstructing the military
    Which he falls back on so regularly
    But keeping his record obscured.

    When atrocities were recently discussed
    “They never happened” was his rebuff
    Neglecting the bodies
    Buried by the Khmer Rouge jihadi
    That took place after our soldiers had left in a huff

    He thought he would never be caught,
    That all from that time had forgot,
    That those who were there,
    Would no longer care,
    If his stories were truthful or not.

    He felt he was being quite nifty,
    But along came a boatload of swifties,
    Who refused to excuse,
    All his lies and abuse,
    And told the truth about Mister Shifty.

    John Kerry’ secret MySpace entry:

    Hi there fellow bloggers. My name is United States Senator John Forbes Kerry from the great state of Massachusetts. You can call me JFK if you want. I was born on December 11, 1943, although people tell me that I look at least 20 years younger. It’s probably my great hair and rugged good looks.

    I graduated from Yale in June 1966 in the top 1% of my class. To earn extra money during the summers, I loaded trucks in a grocery warehouse and sold encyclopedias door to door. That is probably one of the reasons that I am so humble. Over my four years at Yale, I maintained a 96 grade average and received a 101 average in my senior year.

    I am one of the most senior members of that grand and much loved and respected institution known as the U.S. Senate. Probably the only living Senator even a little bit greater than me is my dear friend Ted Moore Kennedy. I also have a very high IQ. Very high. Much higher than that creep who stole the election from me. I know that he stole it because exit polls are never wrong.

    I am also a great war hero. I set all kinds of records for heroism when I was in Vietnam. I was greviously wounded at least three times yet continued to insist on staying in the fight when lesser men would have given up. I won the bronze star with extra V’s for extra valor and the Silver Star for defeating a whole battalion of NVA with my bare hands.

    I sometimes like to chill out after a long day of serving the American people by having a double martini with my good friend Ted. We usually have a servant bring 21 double martinis. I get one and Ted gets one for each of his fingers and each of his toes. Contrary to what some of my very few enemies say I never marry women for just their money. They must also have a pulse. BTW, did I mention that I was in Vietnam? I was also in Cambodia, so don’t forget that!

    I would like to think that I am open minded, honest, polite, and trustworthy. And I appreciate the same qualities in others.

    Who I’d like to meet:
    …other progressive bloggers. Other great war heroes who hate that damn S-T-U-P-I-D Texan in the White House. Cool people who live close to Washington D.C. so that we can get together, talk about you for about 30 second and then spend about 3 hours talking about me. BTW, did I mention that I was in Vietnam and Cambodia?

    Ha, I forgot I can comment here now. Crafted with such ever-loving care this afternoon…

    There once was a man named John,
    whom the voters soundly rejected.
    He put up a good fight,
    but try as he might,
    he still could not get elected.

    Though with wisdom greater than most,
    and certainly knowing what’s best,
    early projections,
    and stolen elections,
    aided him not in his quest.

    But there’s a lesson for all to be learned,
    from the sagely words of Jack.
    If you don’t go to school,
    And you act quite the fool,
    You are likely to get stuck in Irak.

    So despite his resounding defeat,
    and a mouth that sets him apart,
    dream of what could have been,
    had our man been the one to win,
    A president with three purple hearts!

    A traitor he became to those to whom he should have bond

    John was devious before Congress and Democrats have loved him from then on

    Driving America left over a cliff has been his goal for profit and fun

    He ran for Pres but his past caught up with him and he came undone

    Acts now proven foolish, he mumbles and fumbles, twitches and flips like a grill a fish thereon
