All kidding aside


just give us back our damn White House and nobody gets hurt.

3…2…1…

I was born in the bosom of wealthy Park Ridge
A Goldwater-girl whose mama played bridge
Papa would do whatever he could
Selling people drapes
And slingin' high end dry goods


"Rich, bland and GOP"
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us "Rich, bland and GOP"
Until the day Papa put some money down
And got me Wellesley-bound


Picked up a boy in the stacks at Yale
Gave him a ride (he was the class Alpha Male)
I was twenty-two, he was anti-Nixon
Rode with him to Little Rock
And papa would of shot him if he knew what he'd done


"Hippy Tramps with Degrees"
We'd hear it from the squares in Georgetown
They'd call us "Hippy Tramps with Degrees"
But with 20 million of us around
We brought the system down


Had a lot of schoolin' and he was slick as Hell
With his smooth southern style
Three years later, I was a Lib-Er-Al.
He made it to the White House eventually
But too damn compromised and a'cheatin' on me

Now I'm the one with a travelin' show
Dancin' for DLCers and the money they'll throw
And Big Dog'll do what he's damn well told
Preach a little gospel
Mint his pretty words into contributor gold.


“Liebermannish DLCs”
We hear it from those fuckers on the Kos
They call us “Liebermannish DLCs”
And every day their money flows
And Obama’s coffer grows.

OMFG! A parody of Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves, with Bill and Hill as Sonny and Cher.

You, sir, are a SOOPER-genius! And a twisted little monkey (which is why we love you).

So which showbiz power couple from the Decade That Ate Its Young (aka the 70s) is next on the list: Liz and Dick?

Driftglass, you are too twisted for color TV.

I love it.

what he'd done/anti-Nixon

is not right Drifty..

I will work on a better couplet for you as soon as I am done with the rewrite of Superfly, the campaign.

This is hysterical. I spit coffee on my monitor, damn you! And now I will have that insidious melody running through my head all day. You're brilliant. Hard to believe you can do all this in 11 minutes a day. You must be channeling while you sleep, is all I can say.

holy fucking shit!

Wicked shit, Drift. :o)

No "unity"; for the democratic candidate who voted to authorize the lunatics crusade, and whom it took 20 debates into the primaries, to gnosh on that vote.

No slack; for the vetter of McCain, and herself, as good Commanders-in-Chief.
(Obama didn't make her cut; not enough blood dripping off his fingertips.)

No mercy; for the happy-birthday-wisher to FauxNews and Rupert Murdoch.

No compromise; for the let's-make-burning-the-flag-a-federal-crime co-sponsorer.

Nothing but scorn; for her buying that remaindered copy of Karl Rove's seminal work:

"American Democracy; and how to buttfuck it cross-eyed"

and then using it on Obama.

We democrats are doing fine.

The amount of bullshit required to spin what george bush has done to america, and to Iraq, are now FAR, FAR, beyond the capacity of John Deere, Massey-Ferguson, and International Harvester, to store and spread.

John McCain, and the polls showing him at or near parity with Obama and Clinton, in the voters eyes, are both irrelevant. The next 7 months are going to be unlike anything seen since 1860. With an import that won't be much, if any, removed from THAT election.

We are GOING to have some resolution for years of bloody-handed, lying, mendacity. Which mendacity was aided and abetted by Hillary Rodham Clinton, at practically every turn.

We DO have "two fine candidates.

It's just that one of them is a "fine" republican lite, and happens to be the only politician in america who can save the republican party.

My first concert, too (the old Mercury theater at North and Harlem, farther back than I or Cher would care to admit. Sonny doesn't bother any more -- he's busy basking in the flames of Galt's Gulch.) My sister loved 'em.

Another dinged quarterpanel on Waveland. You're single-handedly bringing up the neighborhood insurance rates.

Catchy. So who gets to be Duane Allman when Sonny goes all GOP??

jp said...

Mercury Theater, North and Harlem..

Johnny's on North in Elmwood Park -- an' don't forget that Eye-talian ice.

But we didn't go that way that day -- Harlem was the end of the line, and the CTA bus only went back to Chicago.

You must have written for The Producers, and Zero Mostel, Drifty. *G*

No one could do that stuff in 11 minutes. Not even in 12. *G*

You know, we all used to laugh at the right for their insistence on "purity of thought" and their desire to burn all heretics.

Can't see how the left is all that different.
