Mark Sanford rejected the federal bailout
Flew to Argentina, there to make-out.
Perhaps better to have taken the money
And a much closer-to-home honey.
His was the family-values shtick,
But trouser he couldn’t his own wick.
In this he is quite humanly typical
If more than usually hypocritical
Vitter and Craig. Sanford and Ensign,
What is it with these pious men?
Sworn to obey every commandment
Yet chasing skirts with abandonment.
A grip on reality each has lacked
For eluded them has this simple fact:
About their lives a damn we couldn't give
If they stopped telling the rest of us how to live.
