As much as I wish I could, I can't take credit for this one. Today marked one of the lowest days ever in the Republican Party. Presidents Lincoln, Reagan, Bush have to be turning in their graves.

"The Charge of the White Brigade" (apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

I
Half a brain, half a brain,
Half a brain onward,
All in the valley of Dems
waddled the Thirty White Bros...
“Forward, the White Brigade!
Storm the SCIF!” he said.
Into the valley of Dems
toddled the Thirty White Bros.

II
“Forward, the White Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the Republicans knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to tweet and lie.
Into the valley of Dems
waddled the Thirty White Bros.

III
Cameras to right of them,
Cameras to left of them,
Cameras in front of them
Clicked and clattered;
Fox News nearby to wish them well,
Boldly they strode with lies to tell,
Into the "secure" hearing,
Into the mouth of hell
stumbled the Thirty White Bros.

IV
Flashed all their angry glares,
Flashed as they turned in air
Seeing all the cameras there,
Charging a SCIF room, while
All the world wondered.
“WTF? Is this a joke?"
Right through the line they broke;
The bipartisan attendees
Reeled as if enduring a stroke
Baffled, but remaining composed.
Then they waddled back, but not
Not Thirty White Bros.

V
Cameras to right of them,
Cameras to left of them,
Cameras behind them
Clicked and clattered;
Fox News nearby to wish them well,
As Gaetz and Scalise fell.
They thought they had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Dems,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of Thirty White Bros.

VI
Why are they so afraid?
O the wild charges they made!
All the world knows.
To ignore the charges they made!
To ignore the White Brigade,
Ignoble White Bros.
