With all due respect to Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book, 1830's, who wrote: Mary Had a Little Lamb, I did a parody for Mary McCarthy.

Mary Had a Little Scam by Sandi

Mary had a little scam,
Little scam, little scam,
Mary had a little scam,
She fleeced secrets on the go

And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The scam was sure to go

It followed her to The Post one day
The Post one day, The Post one day
It followed her to The Post one day
Which was against the rules.

It made the terrorists laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the terrorists laugh and play
To see secrets in the Post

And so the CIA turned her out,
Turned her out, turned her out,
And so the CIA turned her out,
But still she didn't fear

And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Hoping liberals did appear

"Why does Mary love to scam so?"
Love to scam so? love to scam so?
"Why does Mary love to scam so?"
The eager terrorists cry

"Why, Mary hates GW Bush, you know."
Hates GW Bush, you know, hates GW Bush, you know
"Why, Mary hates GW Bush, you know."
The CIA did reply

H/T to a Riehl World View post "O McCarthyism - Or, Mary Had A Little Scam?" which gave me the idea.
