As you are no doubt aware, Nancy Pelosi intends to campaign to be House Democratic Leader, and James Clyburn is campaigning to remain as Democratic Whip, which leaves Steny Hamilton Hoyer in the position of being squeezed from both directions.
Since about 50 of the 60 losses on Tuesday were his constituency, Hoyer was ceaseless in his efforts to water down any potential liberal agenda in the house, it looks like he might be the loser in this game of musical chairs.
I think that this is a good thing. Over the course of the 211th congress, whenever there was an initiative, it seemed that Hoyer was willing to talk to the press about how it needed to be weakened, or that the legislative process needed to be slow walked.
Well, thanks to the genius of Theodore Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, and Art Buchwald, you can have my take on this situation after the break:
Steny H. Hoyer will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don't care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
Steny H. Hoyer will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But
Please go.
Please!
I don't care.
You can go
By bike.
You can go
On a Zike-Bike
If you like.
If you like
You can go
In an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!
Please do, do, do, DO!
Steny H. Hoyer
I don't care how.
Steny H. Hoyer
Will you please
GO NOW!
You can go on stilts.
You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car
If you wish.
If you wish
You may go
By lion's tale.
Or stamp yourself
And go by mail.
Steny H. Hoyer
Don't you know
The time has come
To go, go, GO!
Get on your way!
Please Steny H.!
You might like going in a Zumble-Zay.
You can go by balloon . . .
Or broomstick.
Or
You can go by camel
In a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble-boat
. . . or jet.
I don't care how you go.
Just get!
Steny H. Hoyer!
I don't care how.
Steny H. Hoyer
Will you please
GO NOW!
I said
GO
And
GO
I meant . . .
The time had come
So . . .
Steny WENT."
