SPEAKING OF POLITICS I received the following from my friend in Oklahoma, U.S.A.  .......the only thing missing is the theme music from "The Beverly Hillbillies".
Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy named Bush
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush
He drank like a fish while he drove all about
But that didn't matter  'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is
Criminal record
Cover-up.

Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke
Blow, that is
White gold
Nose candy.

The next thing  you know there's a war in Vietnam
Kin folks say, "George, stay at  home with Mom"
Let the common peole get maimed and scarred
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard
Cushy, that is
Country clubs
Nose candy.

Twenty years later George gets a little bored
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord
He said, "Now the White House is the place I wanna be"
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP
Gun owners, that is
Falwell
Jesse Helms.

Come November 7, the election ran late
Kin folks said, "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
"Don't let those colored folks get into the polls"
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes
Chads, that is
Duval County
Miami-Dade.

Before the votes were counted five Supremes stepped in
Told all the voters "Hey, we want George to win."
"Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation
And that's how George finally got his coronation
Rigged, that is
Illegitimate
No moral authority.

Then comes 9/11, corporate scandals and the Taliban
Can't find Osama, so Saddam becomes his man
Daddy and Rummy say bomb Iraq because of those W.M.D.
but really Cheney's working for Haliburton -- just you wait and see
Oil contracts, that is
Lying is OK
Simple folks won't know.

Meanwhile the economy is headed south
Two million souls laid off and living hand to mouth
George says tax cuts for all my good ole Texas boys
And let's chop down some forests and mine a few more toys
ANWAR, that is
National Parks
Rape and pillage of our children's legacies.

I'm running for re-election in 2004
Y'all come vote now
Ya hear.
