I've written a song parody and a pair of limericks about the so-called White House shakeup. Here's a couple of verses from my song parody, The White House Shakeup Song, sung to the tune of Good King Wenceslas:
The White House Shakeup Song (Sing to Good King Wenceslas) By Madeleine Begun Kane
"Bolten's cleaning house they claim. He needs staffers brainy. Upward polls are Bolten's aim. Why not start with Cheney?
Many think that Don must go. Rumsfeld's quite abysmal. Dubya answers no, no, no. Bush is just as dismal.
Miers may just lose her job. Nearly was "Her Honor." Andrew Card worked way too hard..."
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
