but this does. I think. Because it's nothing but a craven, shameless self-promotion of my song (accompanied by a brilliant flash animation from fellow Kossack DistressedAmerican) now in the Huffington Posts' Contagious Festival.

Go check it out and laugh it up. It's only up until the end of the month. Besides my lyrical skewering of Dumbya, Ronny Dumbsfeld and more, there's the hysterical voice of the Impostinator, Ken Pearlstein, doing the damdest Bushspeak you've heard yet, and performances by talented musicians like Josh Margolies (who also produced the track), Brad Siroky on piccolo trumpet and Clarence Ferrari on the fiddle. And any dKosser worth his or her bleeding lib'rul heart will get some yuks out of the animation. You can read the lyrics below the fold...or just click on the link and hear me sing them...
IT'S HARD WORK being the President
Especially when you are the President's son
IT'S HARD WORK sounding that unintelligent
Getting elected by a margin of one
IT'S HARD WORK, IT'S HARD WORK
It was hard work handing out tax cuts
To all his millionaire oil-patch country-club chums
They mailed their donations to his coronation
He figgered he'd better give `em back some
IT'S HARD WORK bein' Robin-Hood-in-reverse IT'S HARD WORK
IT'S HARD WORK cuttin' the budget
For the levies on Lake Pontratrain
Even harder bein' in New Orleans
And drowning in a hurricane
He is the emperor who's got no clothes
Except that doofy grin lurkin' underneath his nose
His face is so simian it seems sorta sub-human
Hail to the chief: Alfred E. Neuman!
IT'S HARD WORK, IT'S HARD WORK
IT'S HARD WORK defending Ron Dumbsfeld
Now all the generals have called him a hack
Our troops are on their third rotation, watch him take a long vacation!
He's the decider! He decided they can't come back!
IT'S HARD WORK being such a hard-ass
Hey America, how do you like the price of gas?
IT'S HARD WORK spying on citizens
Handing out medals to both CIA directors that failed
Soon the White House leakers and congressional speakers
Are all gonna wind up in jail
Doin' hard time! Five and ten in Leavenworth,
Who dropped the dime on all their Hard Work? The New York Times?
Just like Nero fiddled while Rome burned
He ain't made no mistakes, nope there's nothing he's learned
He thinks the Iraqi people call him their "Liberator", well
Good Morning Teheran! Here comes your "Terminator"...
IT'S HARD WORK
IT'S HARD WORK
IT'S HARD WORK
IT'S HARD WORK
