Former presidential candidate and current news commentator Mike Huckabee broke out his poetry while criticizing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi has come under fire from Republicans after last week suggesting the CIA "misled" Congress on waterboarding, and most of the vitriol has been standard political posturing. Rep. John Boehner, for example, insisted Pelosi apologize. Huckabee, however, has called on her to resign, and penned the following poem, entitled "Fancy Nancy," via GOP 12:

Here’s a story about a lady named Nancy
A ruthless politician, but dressed very fancy
Very ambitious, she got herself elected Speaker
But as for keeping secrets, she proved quite a "leaker."

She flies on government planes coast to coast
And doesn’t mind that our economy is toast
She makes the Air Force squire her in their military jets
There’s room for her family, her staff, and even her pets.

Until now, she annoyed us, but her gaffes were mostly funny;
Even though it was painful to watch her waste our tax money.
But now her wacky comments are no laughing matter;
She’s either unwilling to tell the truth, or she’s mad as a hatter!

She sat in briefings and knew about enhanced interrogation;
But claims she wasn’t there, and can’t give an explanation.
She disparages the CIA and says they are a bunch of liars;
Even the press aren’t buying it and they’re stoking their fires.

I think Speaker Pelosi has done too much speaking;
And instead of her trashing our intelligence officials, it’s her nose that needs tweaking.

If forced to believe whether the CIA and her colleagues in Congress are lying;
Or it’s Speaker Pelosi whose credibility and career is dying.
I believe in the integrity of the men and women who sacrifice to keep us safe;
Not the woman who has been caught flat-footed, lying to our face.

I say it here and I say it rather clear —
It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to resign and get out of here.

Say what you will about Huckabee — and Pelosi — but this poem’s pretty clever; not that we’re surprised — whether he’s right or wrong, Huckabee’s always been a quick wit.
