Washington Post Humorist Weingarten Pokes Fun At Allen

Appearing in tomorrow's print edition of the Post Magazine will be this poem about George Allen.

Was It Allen Good Faith?

Senator George from the state of Virginia
Is now in the midst of a terrible din
'Cause it looks like he judges you not by
what's in ya
But by your ethnicity (color of skin).

Calling a swarthy young man a "macaca"
Proved bad when it turned out the word was a smear.
So, whining a bit, like the Wookiee Chewbacca,
Georgie apologized, sounding sincere.

But then he was asked if he might be part Jewish --
Did his family ever engage in conversions?
He answered with anger and, turning quite bluish,
Alleged that the question was "casting aspersions."

So now he's embracing his Hebraic roots
Fearing the fallout this cultural bomb'll cause.
Maybe next week he'll start wearing long suits
And sidelocks and beards and fancy new yarmulkes.

Weingarten adds this devastating barb at Bush:

The Torment of George

Bibbledy-babbledy
Bush, known as W,
Multi-task president
Tough to the core!

Manages ably to
Simultanistically
Torture the language and
Prisoners of war.
