Bush: It's My Legacy; or, W's 2006 "Fool Me Once" Quote Blame Game: A Nonsense Rhyme

Fool me once? Blame's on you.

Fool me twice? Blame’s still yours, nu?

Fool me thrice? I’m blaming Rice,

though Condee’s coif’s so dad-blamed nice.

Fooled again? I’m blaming Dick.

Translucence ain’t Dick‘s bailiwick.

Fooled afresh? I now blame Rummy.

(Funny: Rum was once so-o-o chummy.)

Fooled anew? I’m blaming Colin.

Weapons? Lost! Or tossed! Or stolen!

Further fools? Blame Chalabi.

Swears Ahmed: “What a pal I’ll be!”

Fooled moreover? I blame Karl:

“Religious right-wing rant? Je parle!”

Fooled once more? I still blame Rover:

“Two terms? Easy! Skips through clover.”

Newly fooled? I blame Alberto.

His recall? “a- (campo) -perto.”

Encore fooling? I blame Tenet:

“Slam dunk? Sure! Just blow by Senate.”

Fooled e'en more so? I blame Chertoff.

(Swore he’d give his back the shirt off.)

Infinitum fooled? Blame God:

I’d swear Mon Pere purr'd, “Bomb Riyadh!”
