Hammer's Poem Jabs at Bayh, Engling, and Sanders Ahead of Midterms
The WIBC hosts read a satirical verse listing local and national figures as voters prepare for Tuesday's election.
By Evelyn Henderson ·
One verse reads that most candidates are not worth a damn. The WIBC hosts Hammer and Nigel read this rhyming critique on the day before Election Day. The piece serves as a traditional annual segment for the morning show. It lists specific politicians and public figures in a rapid-fire format.
The poem singles out Indiana Democrat Beau Bayh. It describes him lifting weights in a D.C. palace. The text also mentions Max Engling using a bullhorn to declare he is not Diego Morales. It notes that Libertarian candidate Laurie Shillings campaigned with class. The verse states that Greg Ballard started his own party so Republicans could kiss his old ass.
The reading touches on national politics. It claims the balance of the Senate depends on key states. It notes that Bernie Sanders is upset there is no voting for death row inmates. Sanders is quoted as saying that even if people are in jail for sexual assault or murder, that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in democracy.
The text describes Donald Trump doing rallies back to back. It says a confused Joe Biden showed up and told minorities that they are not black. It mentions that El-Sayed buddy Piker thinks 9-11 was neat. It states that Talarico was in Texas and was scared to eat meat. The poem concludes with a call to fire Ryan Mears. It includes a quote from Judge Kavanaugh admitting he drank beer and sometimes had too many beers.
The hosts encourage listeners to vote. They warn against getting on Hammer's bad list. The segment airs on the night before the midterms. It frames the election as the end of political attack ads for the year.
