He hates this nation, there is little doubt
Just watch him pout
he's burned out
I see his face and then I think of trout
That's Norman Mailer
Yes, he is a guy who's had six wives
They must have all had such hellish lives
There remains a question about Adele
Why did he stab her, oh, do tell
Norman, why are you unpatriotic
Norman, you are truly idiotic
Norman, Norman, you suck
He's getting thirsty and he needs some booze
It's rum he'll choose
then he'll snooze
He has his fill and throws up on his shoes
That's Norman Mailer
Yes, he is a guy who's had six wives
They must have all had such hellish lives
There remains a question about Adele
Why did he stab her, oh, do tell
Norman, why are you unpatriotic
Norman, you are truly idiotic
Norman, Norman, you suck

Red Rumpus
In the Beginning such people were prominent liberals who were lured into sponsoring or joining organization that seemed American enough at the time. When the Moscow-directed line emerged, numerous liberals quit. But others like those below stuck it out. Some of them were receptive to shrewd Communistic persuasiveness. Some in high positions stubbornly ignored their critics in the honest belief that there would eventually be a meeting of the minds. Still others cynically pursued personal ambition, thinking that Communists could help them along with their careers. Not a few became so notorious that they were accused of being actual members of the party. Some of those pictured here publicly and sincerely repudiate Communism, but this does not alter the fact that they are of great use to Communist cause.
Indeed membership would damage their special usefulness. Innocently or not, they accomplish quite as much as for the Kremlin in their glamorous way as a card holder does in his drab toil. The Communist-front organizations have been exposed often enough, however, so that by now the perennial joiner whose friends try to excuse him be is "just a dupe," is clearly a superdupe
