WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan told colleagues Wednesday he will not seek re-election, according to news reports from CNN and Axios citing unnamed sources.
(with apologies to Roy Orbison)
I was House Speaker for a while
Pumping iron I could smile
But then I realized my plight
And I had to take flight
From my political bed fellow
My job is pure hell
And I can't stand his smell
I'm so through lyin' over Trump
Lyin' over Trump
So I say, “So long”
To his porn stars and their thongs
I'm gone, I'm Ryan, Ryan,
Ryan, Ryan
It's not hard to understand
But his crazy demands
Can start me lyin'
I thought I could muddle through
It's not true, it's not true
I find that I deplore
This man I abhor
Quitin' is all I can do
For it's clear to me
That I must break free or end up dyin'
Dyin' over Trump
Yes, now I'm gone
And from this moment on
I'm through denyin', denyin'
Denyin', denyin'
Yeah, denyin', denyin'
Over Trump
