The President’s view of what SCHIP will do,
differs from the bill’s supporters, in almost all respects.

There are many to explain the destiny of Brittney’s kids,
the ins and outs of rehab, and who’s entitled

but I suspect the real reasons go much deeper.
They take Washington politicians at their word,
and devote investigations to show biz personalities,
because celebrities are so much closer to reality.
