John Roberts is great for the next wave of Rovegate. Lotsa reporters talking to lotsa politicians and lawyers about something else = lotsa opportunities for an off the record comment, a nudge toward some further evidence. As regards the public, right now it's so obvious the Rovettes are covering ass with chopsticks; not a bad time for a break in the action to allow that impression to harden, and how wonderful to have the other team call for it out of weakness that all can see. For America to win, the Rove Philosophy must lose. And now a song:
"Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma"
(As recorded by Melanie)
MELANIE SAFKA
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song.
Look what they've done to my brain, ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to my song.
I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Will if I cold find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look
Look what they've done to my song.
It'll be all right ma, maybe it'll be okay
Well if the people are buying tears I'll be rich someday, ma
Look what they've done to my song.
Ils ont change ma chanson ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peuz faire
Et ce n'est pas bon ma
Ils ont change ma chanson.
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag and they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song, ma.
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
It's the only thing I could do all right and they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song, ma.
