Ron sent me another Coasters parody.
I sat down in my swivel chair and clicked to Headline News.
The talkin' heads were goin' nuts 'cause Hillary might lose.
The Midwest Caucus kicked her butt and left her in 3rd place.
She said, "If I don't win this goddam thing I'll blow up in your face."
And then she grimaced (and then?)
She held her breath (and then?)
She started turnin' blue (and then, and then?)
And then along came Mitt
Well-dressed Mitt
Flip-floppin' Mitt
Poll droppin' Mitt
Along came stormin' Mormon Mitt
Obama came on, so I switched to the news on Fox and Friends
He's just a rookie senator with Kennedistic trends
But there his mug was grinnin' back behind sweet Gretchen's face
He said, "If you don't vote for me I'll claim it's all about my race".
And then he pointed (and then?)
He made a joke (and then?)
He called up Oprah to the stage (and then, and then?)
And then along came John
RINO John
Old-timer John
Lib mimer John
Along came tired, old, white-haired John
I got fed up and switched to check what local channels had
But there was the same old rehashed mess that's makin' me so mad
The Breck Boy said he got a bump from Iowan nitwits
He said, "When I win that New Hampshire thing they'll both be havin' fits"
And then he postured (and then?)
He talked in circles (and then?)
He said he's for the middle class (and then, and then)?)
The moon started fallin' out of the sky (and then? and then?? and THEN???)
And then along came Fred
Tall thin Fred
Slow-walkin' Fred
Slow-talkin' Fred
Along came Law and Order Fred.
We still have no true clear front runner. Frankly we have no serious candidate in the whole pack. So far their only true qualifications are pulse and respiration.

Posted by: Libby on January 6, 2008 11:42 AMMildly funny parody there. But I have to ask about the notation about Obama that said, "But there his mug was grinnin' back behind sweet Gretchen's face
He said, "If you don't vote for me I'll claim it's all about my race"."
Has he been touting race as a reason for people not getting behind him?

I haven't heard Obama touting that premise, but it wouldn't surprise me if Blackman and Robbin' (Sharpton/Jackson) haven't already claimed it...
Dkelsmith - As usual, you raise a very good point. Obama is not touting race for the reason for people not getting behind him. That is more the LSM doing that or using that as a reason to vote for him. I posted a while back about female students at Spelman College in Atlanta (a black college) trying to decide whether to vote for Obama because he is black or Hillary because she is a woman. He won Iowa which is about as white a state as you can find.
Posted by: Denny on January 6, 2008 11:44 PMI wish that Condi would've run against Hillary! The thing that gets me about this parody is the words, 'sweet gretchen's face'. GAG! I went to high school with that fake phony WRETCHED bitch. AKA the Ugly Miss America. She sucked as a top of the hour newsreader and why FOX hired her to ruin my favorite morning news show is beyond me. One day she said that MN was the land of 20,000 lakes...what an idiot. They finally took down the billboard of her in my home town because people kept defiling it. It was an eyesore.
