Vitter went a whoring

I wrote the following poem to commemorate the ongoing rampant hypocrisy. Tim Hogan -- Rep. Vitter (R-LA) went a “DC Madam” whoring, he was elected US Senator and the GOP found it boring. Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! Sen. Craig (R-ID) had a “wide stance” but, the GOP said; “so what?” to his advance. Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! The National Republican Campaign Committee twice went a Vegas sex clubbing, the GOP gave it no drubbing. Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! The RNC youth went to club featuring bondage and had its fill; the GOP didn’t blink an eye paying the bill! Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang; the GOP made it into a big thang! Gov. Mark Sanford (R-NC) went a “hiking;” the GOP still kept its liking! Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) preyed upon a married staffer; to the GOP, it was a laugher! Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-NV) pushed and threatened a server when rebuffed, the GOP elected him Governor, the charges were stuffed! Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! Reps. Bunn (R-OR), Burton (R-IN), Calvert (R-CA), Dan Crane (R-IL), Chenoweth (R-ID), Gingrich (R-GA), Hyde (R-IL), Scmitz (R-CA) and Sherwood (R-PA) cheated and lied; the GOP just sighed. Rep. Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! Sen. Thurmond (R-SC) had knowledge of his family’s “colored” maid, had a child and about the races the Senator ranted and raved; the GOP and the South were saved! Weiner tweeted his clothed wang, the GOP made it into a big thang! The Republicans have cheated, whored and upon women and children preyed, all the while politics they’ve played. Me, I’m just dismayed. [And here's a one-stop source for Republican sex scandals]
