Don't Say He Wasn't Warned

By Rick Horowitz

Attorney general cancels public schedule to practice for crucial congressional testimony.
Ripped from the headlines

Columnist puts aside traditional neutrality to offer attorney general career-saving advice.
Ripped from an alternate universe


Smile,
Though your job's in trouble,
Smile,
Though you're on the bubble,
When you feel tempted to curse,
You'll do worse
If you smile,
When your mem'ry's hazy,
Smile,
And you'll drive them crazy,
You'll see them coming after you.
(It's true!)

Act
Like you think you're winning,
Stay
On the verge of grinning,
Although a smirk's
Guaranteed not to work,
Let your lips
Say you think they're losers --
Charlatans,
Dupes and boozers --
You'll look so happy with your guile,
If you just smile.

Smile,
Ev'ry time you answer,
Smile,
It's a mood enhancer,
Drive your tormenters insane --
Be a pain!
And just smile
While you're testifying,
Smile,
And they'll think you're lying,
You'll be condemned from coast to coast:
You're toast.

Though
They're prepared for battle,
Don't
Let 'em see you rattle,
Stand up for Bush,
And fall right on your tush,
So hang on
To that glad expression,
Give them
The wrong impression,
You'll fill the hearing room with bile,
If you...just...smile!
