West Wing Story – Act 3


In which a Bush Regime Dead Ender tries to weasel, beg, whine and threaten his out of the subpoenas that will soon be falling like April showers over the GOP Treachery Machine.


Senator Leahy


Bush Regime Dead Ender:

Dear kindly Senator Leahy,
You gotta understand,
It's just our fuckin’ up-ke
That gets us out of hand.
Our mothers all are pundits,
Our fathers all are Johns.
Golly Moses, of course we're Neocons!


Dead Ender Chorus:

Gee, Senator Leahy, we're very distraught;
We were promised in 2000 that we’d never get caught.
We ain't mere delinquents,
We're hardcore traitors.
Deep down inside us we are whores!


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
We are whores!


Dead Ender Chorus:
We are whores, we are whores,
We are top-shelf whores!
Even the least of us are utter whores!


The Ghost of Spiro Agnew:
That's a touchin' good story.


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
Lemme tell it to the world!


The Ghost of Spiro Agnew:
Just tell it to the judge.


Bush Regime Dead Ender:

Dear kindly Judge, your Honor,
Your “activism” sucks.
We’ll have to get you fired,
And replaced by loyal fucks.
I was supposed to be untouchable,
But somehow I was served.
Leapin' lizards! That's why I'm so unnerved!


Judge:
Right!

Senator Leahy, you're really a square;
This thug don't need a judge, he needs a spin-doctor’s care!
His raging psychosis can never be healed.
And so the news must be concealed!


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
Be concealed!


Dead Ender Chorus:
Be concealed, be concealed,
Behind the Fox News shield.
News of it must be concealed!


Judge:
In the opinion on this court, this man ain’t right on account he’s Conservative.


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
Hey, I'm ain’t right on account I'm hard Right.


Judge:
So take him to a Rightwing Evangelist.


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
My father is a Klansman,
My ma's a raging bitch
My grandpa's backed the Nazis,
My grandma married rich
My sister is a dykie
My brother dodged the War
That's why I’m GOP right to the core!


Rightwing Evangelist:
Yes!

Senator Leahy, you're really a prig.
This boy don't need a Dobson, he needs a sweet White House gig.
Conservatives bred him without any love
In other words a perfect little Rove!


Bush Regime Dead Ender:

I'm a Karl!


Dead Ender Chorus:
We are Karls, we are Karls,
We’re all fucking Karls.
All bile and back-stabbing and snarls!


Rightwing Evangelist:
In my opinion, this loaf of pickled malevolence don't need to have any more Jebus than he’s already got. Republican treachery is purely a Liberal invention!


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
Hey, I got a Liberal invention!


Rightwing Evangelist:
So take him to Hate Radio!


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
Dear kindly Wingnut DJ,
al-Qaeda’s underneath your bed!
Liberals won’t let me fight ‘em
They subpoena me instead.
They’re all a buncha Commies,
They’re also burning flags
Holy Trotsky! That's why I'm anti-fags!


Wingnut DJ:
Senator Leahy, you Liberal louse.
This boy don't need a mike, he needs a term in the House.
Sure deep down inside him there is no there there;
But damn it, he’s got Presidential Hair!


Bush Regime Dead Ender:
I look the part!


Dead Ender Chorus:
We look the part, look the part!
Yes we look the part,
And the Base is really none too smart!


Because…

Dubya, he's crazy.
Dubya, he drinks.
Dubya, he's lazy.
Dubya, he stinks.
Dubya, he's psycho.
Dubya, he's a fool.

Which doesn’t matter when the Base are inbred tools!

So, Senator Leahy,
We're down on all fours,
What’s it gonna takes to let us walk out those doors?
Or Senator Leahy,
How ‘bout a nice aide?
C’mon, Senator Leahy,
Let’s trade!

This one's the best yet! You wield parody words like a finely-honed hunting knife.

Sir Driftglass:

Just when we think that we have some clue concerning your singular capabilities for expression, you demonstrate an entirely new (and edifying, and most enjoyable, too) set of skills that seems to appear out of nowhere just as effortlessly as an experienced magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat.

So what's next, oh Drifted One?
Opera?
Gymnastics?
Synchronized Win32 Semaphores?

Awesome work, Drifty! Thanks for these amazing efforts on behalf of your readers!

Sometimes...words can't convey it.

I am stunned.

Laughing my ass off, praying you get a zillion hits off of this, but stunned.

Over at one of my local papers, The Stranger, they came up with a new term last year - ladydazzled.

I think we've been satiridazzled.

Alas, I am too unfamiliar with musicals, indeed with movies in general, to appreciate the parodies.

Meanwhile, this just in: Khalid Sheikh Muhammad just confessed to convincing Shatner that he could sing. :)

I was once hugged by Leonard Bernstein -- out of sheer exuberance, I think -- and now I'd like to pass that hug on to you, metaphorically speaking. Lenny would be the first to applaud your takedown of those bastards.

Dick's not going to like this! He keeps track of folks like you (and me), you know. No flame is too small for little Dickie to piss on. Careful or your plame may go out!

Let's just hope that the Neocons were as over-optimistic about their plans to seize America as they were about their artificial Armaggedon in the Middle East...or are we just in the middle? Maybe chaos is what they wanted. Cockroaches and other vermin thrive on chaos and destruction.

driftglass said...

Thanks for the kindnesses, citizens. After a long few days they are much appreciated. You are most welcome.

anonymous,
Chaos is the plan. It provides an excellent distraction while looting the planet, and you can bid out the bomb-then-rebuild contracts to the same pals over and over again.

Time for bednights now.

In the Netherlands, elementary school grades are on a scale of 0 (worst) to 10 (best)... This gets a 10... if not the obligatory Spinal Tap amplifier 11...

Top notch satire writing!
