Nancy Pelosi Writes Poem About Romney And The NAACP

Evan McMurry

Nancy Pelosi said what we were all thinking (and writing and tweeting) about Romney's NAACP appearance yesterday: that it was all an optical illusion for Romney's almost entirely white and eternally aggrieved base:

 

Catch that? "I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention." There's some meter and prosody in there! She even catches the bounce of the sentence. Same thing, broken into verse:


I think it was a calculated move

on his part to get booed

at the NAACP convention


Not bad, for a politician rhyming off the cuff. I want to play!


To get the working class

To kiss his rich ass

Was absolutely his intention

 

He hopes they won't notice

Until he is POTUS

That the economy is just a bourgeoise invention

 

If you think Romney gives

1/250 millionth of a shit

About black people, you ain't paying attention

 

His only chance to win

Is to cross his fingers and spin

Economic angst into racial tension

 

Which is why it was a calculated move

on his part to get booed

at the NAACP convention.

 

More poems as events warrant.
