Inside the President's Mind in The Fateful Year of the Iraqi Invasion
Bush's Alphabet (2003)
A is for America, land of the free
B is for butt-kicking the enemy
C is for compassionated that’s what I am
D is for destiny: the Lord and His plan
E is for evil-doers I’m not afraid to face
F is for Florida where a miracle took place
G is for God who I’m on a mission from
H is for Halliburton, and their will be done
I is for Iraq, which got licked by a Texan
J for Jeb who knows how to speak Mex’can
K for Kathy Harris, who fixed the election
L is for liberals who now need protection
M is for the mandate that I didn’t need
N for nine-eleven and where it would lead
O for oil companies who banked my campaign
P for the petro-dollars that they will soon gain
Q is for questions best kept under the lid
R is for all the reading that I never did
S for social security, which we will soon ditch
T is for taxes, something not for the rich
U for the U.N. and its weak-kneed direction
V for Vietnam and my daddy’s connections
W for WMDs, I guess they were loaners
X is for Exxon, one of my biggest donors
Y for yes I will win the economy bet
Z is for all our zillion dollars of debt!
Some say I was blessed with the mind of a flea
But I run this country, from the A to the Z...
