Title: With pith from a wordsmith
Review: Political verse is much like political cartooning: both require trimming complex ideas into a few small, deft strokes.In this short yet pungent book, Calvin Trillin has distilled the essence of the foibles and failings of the Bush II administration. Trillin has reworked Broadway show tunes, Gilbert & Sullivan lyrics, sea chanties, Irish songs and all manner of doggerel to lampoon the follies of the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft. A sample:A Two-Pronged Approach to the Afghan PeopleBy night our missiles rain on them,By day we drop them bread.They should be grateful for the food-Unless, of course, they're dead.That says as much about the irony of situation or Afghans as any 200-page policy analysis. While there is little new here for those who already dislike Bush, at least Trillin says it with craft and ingenuity.
