Why Do Collins and Flake Even Pretend?

Collins waffled and hemmed and she hawed

Though the nominee is blatantly flawed

He dissembled, denied

Bullied and lied

And SCOTUS is now Kavanaughed.

Her independence is merely a myth

She’s part of her party’s monolith

She’s sorely deluded

If she thinks she’s included 

In a league with Margaret Chase Smith.
