Sometimes the truth must hide br Or even be sacrificed to other things br So Laura B on Charlie R last night br Filled me with a deja vu previously br Almost exclusively reserved for Dick Nixon br A sense that something was not right br But beyond my power to name. br This lovely lady of the nation br A woman any man would welcome as true love br Out of touch with memory of open microphones br Or what I swear was President Putin's cynicism br For all the world to see. br The sad conclusion it is not in war alone br Where truth is the first casualty.
