August 8, 2018
Our coverage of the Resignation Day(s) festivities continues
on this, Day One of the celebration of the beginning of the end of the
ill-gotten presidency of Richard Nixon.
This is, of course the date when we all learned that we would have the
cancer on the presidency removed. Thankfully,
this would not mean that we would not have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore. That practice, at least in certain circles,
continues to this day. And well it
should.
The late, great Gil Scott-Heron
So many “gates” have come and gone since that fateful day in
1974. Reagan’s Iran-Contragate – selling
arms to Iran to fund Nicaraguan Contras, Clinton’s Monicagate – sex with an
intern, Cheney’s Plamegate – outing a vital CIA operative (one of these gates
is not like the others) and many others, all endeavored to ride the coattails of
Nixon’s Watergate. Even today, we find ourselves embroiled in Don Chrump’s Russia-gate thanks to the allegedly
alleged COLLUSION, conspiracy, connivance and corruption, of Donald Chrump, his
namesake, his daughter, his son-in-law, his campaign manager, his personal attorney,
his national security advisors, his attorney general, and countless others.
Our favorite gate here at Paying Attention is still the
original, although admittedly, we have high hopes this latest gate will be the
greatest gate. Nothing could be more
satisfying than ridding this land of The Orange Gas Cloud that threatens to
suffocate us all. I hope the Democrats
will have the brains and balls to do to Chrump’s legacy what Der Furor has done
to Obama’s. Though nothing can replace Watergate
and the Fall of Nixon, today’s imbroglio promises to be very, very
special. Believe me. In any event, we bring you some of the
memories from Resignation Day(s) past.
High Hopes
2015
Thanks Ed. That was a treat as always. Always brings a tear to my eye and a snarl to
my lip. I hope you don’t mind if I add a
verse or two for 2015…
Once more it’s that season, and Chrump’s on the job
That egotist, racist, orange-dyed slob.
He tweets and he lies, he’s insane and a dope
That egotist, racist, orange-dyed slob.
He tweets and he lies, he’s insane and a dope
He poisons the atmosphere, murdering hope.
His best people left him, or else were smothered,
Bye Spicer, bye Pruitt, McMaster and others.
They came and they went, they’re off here and thar,
Now dash away! Dash away! Please dash away far!
Bye Spicer, bye Pruitt, McMaster and others.
They came and they went, they’re off here and thar,
Now dash away! Dash away! Please dash away far!
So let’s watch in amusement, as they trip o’er their tongues
As they sputter and spew and expel from their lungs,
All the hot air and spittle, all the BS and blight,
For the chance to meet Clinton or Sanders for the big fight!
For the chance to meet Clinton or Sanders for the big fight!

2016
Thanks
I. We enjoyed your addition for 2015
I. And what a year it has been since
last Resignation Day(s). Bernie made
quite a splash and Chrump took out all the trash. It was truly a campaign to remember, now it’s
on to November. So I will see your 2015
verses and raise you a few for 2016 (with reverence and apologies to Ogden
Nash)…

Once more it’s that season, Obama time’s near done
Each party’s wild primaries has narrowed to one.
Bernie lost to Hillary, but inspired revolution

Chrump bested all Republican’ts, and might end evolution.
Now East Coast, now West Coast, now swing states, Midwest!
Oh, Donald you suck it, tho you say you’re the best!
I never liked Clinton but I hope Chrump gets schlonged!
And goes back to his mirror, where’s he’s always belonged!

And goes back to his mirror, where’s he’s always belonged!
Let him talk, let him squawk, it’s politically suicidal,
Keep making voters nauseous, ere November’s decidal.
Keep insulting, and frothing, and hating, and screaming…
All the stuff of which anti-Chrumpers, tho pained are all dreaming!
All the stuff of which anti-Chrumpers, tho pained are all dreaming!
Tiny hands, tiny brain, tiny what-the-fuck-ever,
You will lose very bigly and be president…NEVER
Go prepare your next bankruptcy, it’s what you do best
You whiny Tweet-aholic, and sanity’s pest
You will lose very bigly and be president…NEVER
Go prepare your next bankruptcy, it’s what you do best
You whiny Tweet-aholic, and sanity’s pest
If I never see your hair-thing or hear your voice again,
I know I will not miss your face, but I’ll feel much less pain
Go away oh Orange Putz, away and out of sight
Close your pie-hole, hide yourself, for once just do what’s right.

Hi
folks, I. Mangrey here.
Well,
that certainly did not work out the way most of the country – and the world –
had hoped. Now we are ensconced in the
most bizarre, incompetent, chaotic shitshow of an administration since
Caligula. Unlike Chrump, Caligula is
described as a noble and moderate ruler during the first six months of his
reign. After that he ramped up the
cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and sexual perversity, and is remembered as an
insane tyrant. Der Furor wasted no time,
in fact getting a head start, with his later-day Caligula-like behavior. One can only wonder with paralyzing dread
what the (hopefully short) remainder of Chrump’s tenure will visit upon us
all. I suppose I need to have one more
go at updating this venerable old verse for 2017 while I can still think straight…
Impeachment in the air, now Chrump makes us sick
It seems he might kill us, get rid of him QUICK!
He’s angry and clueless, he tweets from his toilet,
The craziest nonsense. Our country, he’ll spoil it.
It seems he might kill us, get rid of him QUICK!
He’s angry and clueless, he tweets from his toilet,
The craziest nonsense. Our country, he’ll spoil it.
Now Jared! Ivanka, Pence, Sessions and Chrump!
On, Conway! On Bannon! Such miserable chumps!
They lie, they collude, they love Russia not us!
Now dash away! Dash away! Please leave in a huff!
On, Conway! On Bannon! Such miserable chumps!

Robert Mueller, grand jury – Oh please stop this lout
Get the dirt, make it public, then throw the bum out
Waste not one more moment, excise Donald Chrump,
And air out the White House, which he called “a Dump”.
Get the dirt, make it public, then throw the bum out
Waste not one more moment, excise Donald Chrump,
And air out the White House, which he called “a Dump”.
The endless lies and insanity assaulting us all,
By Constitution, our right and our duty - this Chrump thing must
fall.
So I say to you all, Power To The People, Out Of Sight,
More Impeachment to all, and to all a good-night!
