"It was while I was coordinator for counternarcoticsand justice reform in Afghanistan toward the end of
the Bush Administration that the thought occurred
to me: there needs to be more rhyming in political
campaigns. So, in my race for state auditor in
Missouri, I've been doing it. Take this, for instance:
'Bailouts and debt,
They got me feelin' dissed,
Sellin' out my son,
To Chinese Communists.'
It hits you like a blow to the solar plexus, doesn't it?"
