With the Iowa Caucuses days away, and wishes for Christmas and the New Year filling our crania, my thoughts turn toward a certain gentleman from Tennessee.
And my wish is that this millennial nightmare had never happened.
Click here to hear "Wish You Were Gore" (to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"), performed by the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy.
Wish You Were Gore
Oh, why can't everyone tell
A statesman from a thug
Who's got our telephones bugged
A frat boy who took drugs
Who Lays down with thieves
The one who deceived
About the Dubya MDs
How did you get us to trade
Our heroes for shrubs
Democrats for Repubs
A stain we never could scrub
A living, breathing oil spill
How did we reject
Surplus safety net
For nine trillion in debt
How I wish
How I wish you were Gore
It's been two lost terms swimming in a cesspool
Of malfeasance and shame
Trashing all of the Bill of Rights
And starting losing fights
With pre-emptive war
Wish you were Gore
Be sure to show some love to Pink Floyd and their lawyers — by buying the original recording. By the way, which one's Pink?
