Bush & Company

Senator Joe Lieberman, independent/erstwhile Democrat, and his wife Hadassah, are both closely linked to the insurance industry, profiting royally from the affiliations. Meanwhile, the senator speaks against health care reform on the pretext of its costliness, when in reality, effective health care reform would save money, as Mr. Lieberman must know. He threatens, if a public option is included, to join Republicans in a filibuster that will kill the bill.

Aetna's hero Senator Joe,
Health care reform's most heinous foe,
With grossest perfidy and greed
To sufferers' needs he pays no heed.

Ensuring funds for his campaign
To keep his seat come 2010
And court those health moguls again,
Joe and Hadassah don't mind lies,

For they protect those precious ties.
Break out Beluga and champagne,
Joe and Hadassah, solemnize
Health care reform's woeful demise,

Amid your victims' fruitless cries.
