The Ballad of Thad McCotter
Congressman Thad McCotter was kicked off the ballot trying to keep his House seat because he failed spectacularly to get enough valid signatures. The state is launching a criminal investigation into his fraudulent petitions. Local Republicans are turning on him. National Republicans are reportedly “holding their nose” in coming to his aid. And with an expensive write-in campaign as the only option, Congressman McCotter faces an uphill battle that puts his seat at risk.
Perhaps it’s time McCotter quits the day job and sets his woes to music:
McCotter's sure down on his luck
His Seize Freedom! sales kind of suck
Running for president - sheer vanity
Fox's Red Eye over Livonia - the humanity!
Out of touchness costs more than a buck
Oh what poor fate has befallen Rep. Thad
Nearly all his signatures are bad
Quite the amateur's blunder
11th CD GOP cast asunder
No R seat Obama won’s ironclad
"McCotter's Mcfoul-up" reads the News
A tough write-in campaign he could lose
The cost profound
As fraud charges abound
And Thad's likely left singing the blues
