The Great Medicare Robbery.

THE GREAT MEDICARE ROBBERY

   Talk about your guilty pleasures:
     Curses filled the air
   When the Grand Old Party heisters
     Purloined Medicare.
   "Whither red ink?" thundered Teddy;
     "Grab your wallet," wailed
   Daschle, but the AARP's
     Switcheroo prevailed.
