Senator, Just Drunk Enough
“I say those things for the scratch-ass rubes.
And their pseudo-Constitutional fetishes
and Camp-Meeting bellows--many of both
to do with sex.
That's a quarter.
Leadership forces my vote for their concerns,
plus equally uncomfortable ones.
That's another quarter.
But half of the time I'm an Eisenhower,
Main Street Republican.
That's what I want to be remembered for,
not the gross puke.”
