Not much to discuss but I thought it was pretty much of a hoot, not to mention accurate.
Bush Inaugural Theme Song
to the tune "What a Wonderful World"
Music: Sam Cooke Words: Joel Landy
Don't know much about history.
Don't know much foreign policy.
I don’t know the names of men I kill, Or implications of the seats I fill.
But I do know who has paid my way.
For corporate interests and the NRA
What a wonderful world this will be.
Don’t know much about ecology.
Cutting trees has always worked for me.
And I don’t know about the women’s vote,
And I can’t think of any bill I wrote.
But there's one thing that I know for sure,
If the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor
What a wonderful world this will be.
I never claimed to be an " A" student, but I don’t have to be.
If you have deep pockets and sell nuclear rockets
You’re a friend of my family.
Don't know much about air pollution.
Don't know much about the Constitution.
Don’t care much for solar energy.
There’s nothing in it for my friends and me.
And if we can’t find any on our soil
We can go to war and get more oil, and
What a wonderful world this will be.
Don’t know much about the driving rules.
Don’t know much about the public schools.
Don’t know why the inner cities fail
Why can’t folks get dad to pay for Yale?
And if the issues that will make you lose
Are never covered in the evening news,
What a wonderful world this will be.
I never claimed to be an A student, but I don’t have to be.
If you have a brother who’s the Florida Governor,
The result’s no mystery.
Don't know much about history.
Don't know much foreign policy.
Don’t know much about the national debt.
I never had to pay one off yet.
But I do know who has paid my way.
For special interests in the USA
What a wonderful world this will be.
The Kennebunkport Hillbilly
(sung to the tune of The Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song)
Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy name Bush.
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
He drank like a fish while he drove all about.
But that didn't matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is. Criminal record. Cover-up.
Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
Blow, that is. White gold. Nose candy.
The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
Kin folks say, "George, stay at home with Mom."
You won't have to show up, and we won't work you hard,
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard.
Cushy, that is. Country clubs. Nose candy.
Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
He said, "Now the White House is the place I wanna be."
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP.
Gun owners, that is. Falwell. Jesse Helms.
Come November 7, the election ran late.
Kin folks said "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
"Don't let those colored folks get into the polls."
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes.
Chads, that is. Duval County. Miami-Dade.
Before the votes were counted five Supremes stepped in.
Told all the voters "Hey, we want George to win."
"Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation.
And that's how George finally got his coronation.
Rigged, that is. Illegitimate. No moral authority.

And a poem for the special occasion:
The election is over, the results are known,
The will of the people has clearly been shown,
Let's forget the quarrels and show by our deeds,
we will give our leader all the help that he needs/
So let's all get together, and let bitterness pass,

I'm not into spanking, but from what I've heard rumored Clarence Thomas might consider it an agreeable tribute.

When they played "The Star Spangled Banner" the Secret Service freaked out because they thought Cheney was having another heart attack.
You folks have a lot of talent, there
