Ben Bernanke - Just back from Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Imam Abdul Rauf - Back from a whirlwind tour of Muslim nations.
Here's a little ditty 'bout Ben and Abdul, two distant cousins acting a fool.
This is a present day version of the Patty Duke song:
Meet Abdul, who's lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
But Ben's only seen the sight.
A guy can see from Brooklyn Heights --
What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.
Where Abdul adores a minuet,
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
Our Ben loves to rock and roll,
A hot dog makes him lose control --
What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike --
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.
...
*Hot Dog: Hebrew National.
