This guy was Sessions’ Chief of Staff.
\nHis resume could make one laugh.
\nHe lost a couple statewide runs.
\nBut he works out and has big guns.
\nHe’s almost fifty, from Des Moines,
\nloved by guys who praise their groin.
\nHe played football for the Hawkeyes
\nbut lost in Rose Bowl game.
\nHe coached Rick Perry’s POTUS run,
\nwhich crashed and burned, oh shame.
\nHe jumped into the business world
\nwith both his size twelve feet,
\ninvesting first in trailers,
\nthen in day care, then concrete.
\nHe got involved in marketing
\nbut fraud charge shut that down.
\nSo he became a talking head,
\nconservative news clown.
\nHe gained Drumpf’s keen attention
\ndismissing all his crimes.
\nHe thought he’d get a judgeship
\nand climb back to good times.
\nBut his gestapo manner
\nand posture as good cop,
\nshot him up the justice arm
\nand landed him on top.
\nSo now Attorney General’s
\njust another name for goon.
\nThese con man grifters come and go.
\nLet’s hope this one’s gone soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
