McCain campaign song (apologies to Jackson Browne)

I wanted my first diary to be an in-depth look at the delegate math, but it appears pocketnines beat me to it.  I may still do that diary, even if it overlaps a bit.

But in the meantime, a song came to mind a few days ago, a riff off the Jackson Browne song "Cocaine" (not to be confused with the Eric Clapton song).  I figured I'd share this on the site, maybe a few people will find it amusing or be humming it during the day.  This may not be "substantive", but heck, we're 5 weeks from Pennsylvania, we've bludgeoned pastorgate to death while dodging sniper fire, and HRC is not dropping out anytime soon.  So without further ado...

We all need a break from the seriousness of the political season.  What better than a song to help lighten the mood a bit.  OK, so it takes digs at candidates, but hey.

(Note- you can google up the real lyrics to Jackson Browne's "Cocaine", and probably find a performance on YouTube, if you're unfamiliar with the song.  I'd include links to the lyrics, but every one I found had a zillion pop-ups and I don't want to inflict that on anyone.)

Fight the Shi'a, or the Sunn*?
He don't know the difference between the two.
McCain, runnin’ down his campaign.

Heading down south, then up thru Maine
Looking for voters to stop McCain
McCain, runnin’ down his campaign.

Obama, come here quick,
That old McCain's about to make me sick
McCain, runnin’ down his campaign.

Late last night, on the cable news show
Hillary was knockin’ down the pastor of BHO
Worse than McCain.
I said "you’re helping out his campaign".

I was talking to a General, down at the Pentagon,
I said "Sir, you say the surge is working,
But that’s impossible"
McCain, looks like he could waste four thousand lives

Now he’s losing touch with reality and he’s almost out of dough
It’s not the Right’s time, it’s great to see them go.
McCain, runnin’ down his campaign

*- I know, but "sunni" doesn't rhyme.
