for Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI)
Sometimes, when I touch
myself just so, I feel like
King of ALL the beasts!*

Ooh, that’s harsh.
Perfect.
But harsh.
Run Russell Run!
Arlens got a
guntongue!You crabbed for the door
When Specter asked for more.
Your spine is made of puss
you scrambled from your fuss.
To live and fight another day
with nothing left to say.
PS
Why don’t you answer your phone?
As per McCain-Feingold, I must note that the above haiku was meant as a satire and does not condemn or condone the actions of the esteemed Gentleman from Wisconsin (who happens to be a grandstanding ass).
Reminds me of the story my grandfather used to tell about Los Alamos. See, they didn’t know what was going on down there, but it was some army thing, and they bought lots of stock on the hoof, so he liked them. Still, there was a lot of speculation.
Finally, they concluded the Army was reviving the cavalry. At Los Alamos they were making the front parts of horses, then to send them to Washington DC for final assembly.
Again, I notice, a haiku without the customary reference to a season. Sure, I’m letting him get away with so many other haiku heresies.
I am absolutely befuddled that a howler monkey could be mistaken for a Senator. I could swear that this idiot (who, just for the irony of it, has trampled the First Amendment) is just a figment of Tom Wolfe’s imagination.
Ahhhh! If only it were so…
Damn, Jeff. Two more syllables and the title would have been a haiku too.
Robin – try this one then…
Russ the Cheese Monkey
jerks around the Senate, and
comes as would the spring.
Thanks, JD, someone has a sense of the traditions.
Robin, just think of it as a hokku. Besides, if Bashou could get away with it, why not Jeff.
Charlie, if I don’t object, Jeff will think I don’t care anymore.
And that would ruin his day.
Feingold always reminded me more of a red-assed baboon.
gahrie: so that explains why Feingold’s face is always red.
I used to think Feingold had integrity, even if I didn’t agree with him.
Today, I see him as an organ grinder’s monkey, sparkly red hat and vest on, dancing dancing dancing for the quarters that kos will throw his way.
It’s a good thing Senator Feingold didn’t try anything like this back in September of 2004 when Bush was running for re-election. He could’ve been in serious trouble.
What about election season?
Did you know that in Japan it’s now illegal to mention spring within 60 days of the equinox?
It ought to be illegal to mention censure within 60 days of actually having any validity to your charge.
A strained metaphor at the trailing edge of the Texas Hold ‘Em fad:
Specter: Check.
Feingold: Fold.
I used to live in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of DC, across Rock Creek Park from the National Zoo. At sunrise in the spring months the Howler monkeys would join in song. It’s been said they can be heard over a mile away.
Sen. Feingold’s speech the other day reminded me also of their noise. Not as nice, though.
Rumor has it that the walls of Feingold’s study are covered with centerfold layouts.
Of himself.
I find it very humorous that the rest of the Dems are treating Feinmold like a lepor. Serves him right self righteous asshat
A great article on which countries hate America, and which do not.
I liked Feingold better when he was on Cheers.
This should be interesting when it comes up for a vote, if it ever does. The Kossites will make howler monkeys seem like mimes.
I’m sure Russ is very popular among Dem senators today.
Please, Mr Wabbit, what season is it really?
