Calvin Trillin

July 16, 2008

As senator, Phil was among the designers Of laws that helped Enron, which showed no decliners, Manipulate prices of oil from refiners. (Its stock can be used in your cat box, for liners.) His laws helped the mortgage thieves rook naïve signers, Who then lost their houses and can’t afford diners. So now he decides we’re a nation of whiners. Figures.
