charisma ... grass seed ...
principles ... a moray eel ...
holy-rolling swamp-

fooled by clumsy
dumbshow ... firmly our elite...
togas ... gibbering

grifters, obvious
charlatans, and transparent
mountebanks. ... ignore

deforming power
of corporate money in ...
root ... branch ... barking mad.

sexytime ... his "bold ideas" ...
Albania ... baseball

in spiked shoulder pads and ...
mead and slave women

a jackass in South

reality-detached spin.
The Republican

—perannuated
media harpies ... Ann Coulter ...
Dole ... Vengeful Undead
