McChrystal Mother Goose

It’s hard to understand Stanley McChrystal’s bizarre decision to allow an interview with Rolling Stone. Somehow, Mother Goose comes to mind:

Bye-Bye Stanley
(From “Baa, Baa Black Sheep”)

Bye-bye, Stanley,
Did you lose your brain?
What you did
Was just so lame.

V P Biden disagreed with you,
Clownish Jones did so, too.
So you spoke to Rolling Stone,
Let your staff piss and moan.

Bye-bye, Stanley,
Now you’re on your way.
You’ve been sacked
Because you had your say.

Stanley McChrystal
(From “Little Jack Horner”)

Stanley McChrystal
Sat on his pistol,
Talking to Rolling Stone.

He put in some words,
About all those nerds,
And forgot
He was simply on loan.

Stanley, Stanley Biden Biter
(From “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater”)

Stanley, Stanley, Biden biter,
Had a plan but couldn’t keep her,
Thought he’d save Afghanistan,
But landed in the frying pan.

Stanley Put the Pressure On
(From “Polly, Put the Kettle On”)

Stanley put the pressure on,
Stanley put the pressure on,
Stanley put the pressure on,
Barack blew his top.

Stanley took it off again,
Stanley took it off again,
Stanley took it off again,
Barack let him drop.
