The Ballad of Yellowcake Joe
Found on the blog Protein Wisdom
Via Terry Hastings comes this, from Opinion Journal:
“Former ambassador [tagJoseph[/tag] Wilson asked a federal judge Wednesday not to force him to testify in the CIA leak case and accused former White House aide I. [tag]Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby[/tag] of trying to harass him on the witness stand,” the Associated Press reports from Washington:
“Mr. Libby should not be permitted to compel Mr. Wilson’s testimony at trial either for the purpose of harassing Mr. Wilson or to gain an advantage in the civil case,” Wilson’s attorneys wrote
.Hmm, for a guy who burst onto the scene three years ago as the most garrulous figure since Ted Turner, and who then wrote a book called “The Politics of Truth,” Wilson is awfully averse to testifying under oath.
Here is some of the ballad:
Oh, Yellowcake Joe, Yellowcake Joe, went to Niger don’t you know?
Yellowcake Joe, Yellowcake Joe went there on a mission.There once was a great ambassador by the name of Yellowcake Joe,
A kind of travelling minstrel in a one-man mistrel show.
His wife was a secret agent who was secretive and sly,
The vice-pres wants someone to go, my husband is the guy.He knows the folks in Niger land who know the story well,
If Saddam’s sought uranium then surely Joe they’ll tell.
He knows the local customs and he drinks a lot of tea,
So tell Dick Cheney that he’ll go, I ask on bended knee.Oh, Yellowcake Joe, Yellowcake Joe, went to Niger, don’t you know?
Yellowcake Joe, Yellowcake Joe, did a little fishin’.The minstrel went to Niger land and sat in the cafe,
And interviewed the folks at hand and chatted all the day.
He came back to the USA and gave us his report,
That Saddam probably had conspired the substance to import.
