I think you've pretty much got it surrounded, but this bit in particular stands out. It's so easy to see through, so blindingly obvious that however many dozen scandals turning out to be literally nothing is nothing but endless partisan wolf-crying, that the idea that people could take the nonsense seriously just... never registered to me.

I still don't understand it.

The most wonderful thing about BBs
Is BBs are wonderful things
Their sides are made out of iron
Their guns are made out of pain
They're crashy smashy bashy flashy fun-fun-fun-fun-fun
But the most wonderful thing about BBs
Is there is more than one
The~re is more than one!
