EDITOR'S NOTE: "Rudy the Red-Nosed Grifter, a new spin on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," came in a fund-raising email from Public Citizen. The author is Robert Weissman, Public Citizen president. Happy holidays! 

You know Bill Barr and Bannon, the Pencer, and ’Vanka

McConnell the stupid, Don Jr. and Bolton

But do you recall

Trump’s most rotten lackey of all?

 

Rudy the Red-Nosed Grifter

Has a very shiny face

Now that we all have seen him

What a national disgrace!

 

All of the other fraudsters

Used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudy

Join in all their swindler games

 

Then one ugly election year

Donald came to say

“Rudy, with your lousy brain

Help me quid pro quo Ukraine”

 

But now the people loathe him

And we’re shouting out with glee

“Rudy the Red-Nosed Grifter

You’ll go DOWN in history!”
