Prominent politician, caught red-handed spouting crap Went too far at election time and fell into a trap Desperate for victory, he flushed his ethics down the drain Won the seat dubiously, but sowed the seeds for later shame When it all came back to haunt him, there was such a hue & cry Widespread condemnation and comrades left him out to dry Name appropriately blackened, his career is surely finished While the arbiters who sealed his fate remain proud and undiminished
Who are these people, what are their 'rules', with powers to cure or to kill ? MOST politicians sail too close to the wind, always have done and always will So how do they judge when it's gone too far, when a gust has become a gale ? Are there different degrees of dishonesty, all marked on a sliding scale ? How ever they've made their decision, Mr Woolas has failed their test One rogue in a house of 600, have they looked at ANY of the rest ? And before we all point our fingers and proclaim him an x-rated offender Who's NEVER pulled a similar stroke to promote their OWN selfish agenda ?
