      <![CDATA["My Disdain Shall Entirely Unman You: A Poem For The Blue Dog"<br>
<br>
My disdain shall entirely unman you, and<br>
Emasculate all of your pride<br>
As my sarcasm wets your Gap khakis  <br>
And the laughter begins to subside,<br>
<br>
Are the bloggers the enemy soldiers?<br>
Have they sacrificed Tanner and Bart?<br>
And has Harrison murdered the messenger?<br>
Or do sour grapes smell like a fart?<br>

      <![CDATA[This is essentially the fault of bloggers like Left Wing Quacker and their lord and master Chip Forrester. No sitting congressmen want to spend their time and energy in a tough electoral environment when they've got the party chairman and the so-called "party faithful" constantly whining about how they're not "real Democrats."
