"16 Words" to the tune of "16 tons" by Merle Travis

Them bloggers say that Bush was born of blue blood
But an army is made out of guys named "Spud"
"Spud", Watada and Lindy England -
Why did we go invade the Iraqi land?

He used sixteen words and what did they get?
Four years of war, deep into debt -
Petraeus don't you call me 'cuz I can't go
I owe my soul to to Wal*Mart store.

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Detainees down in Gitmo, my data in the mine
The radio is pushing us to burn more coal
And the Energy CEO said "Well, a-bless my soul".

Scooter loaded sixteen words and what did he get
Another day day in court and wink from Tenet
Saint Kucinich don't you call me 'cuz I can't go
I owe my soul to Jeff Gannon's Ho.

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Bombin' depleted uranium on the Anbar plain
On them kiddies down there without no hair
I like my sunnis charbroiled not rare.

Bush loaded sixteen words into his speech
so that Raytheon could suck us like a leech
What Chris Matthews won't discuss is impeach, impeach
And Alan Colmes is a bum who looks like Screech.

If our media ain't gonna do its true, true job
but speak on the side for the ones that rob
Martha Raddatz don't you call me 'cuz I can't go
I have a power lunch planned with William Krystol.

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, and died when I lied
Of a tale of mobile labs from guy named Curveball
If the wiretaps don't a-get you
leave it to my Bones & my Skull.

He used sixteen words and what did they get?
Four years of war, deep into debt -
Condi don't you call me 'cuz I can't go
Can't understand why I'm so low in them polls.

You have to earn the office by actually saying what people want to hear. Hillary Clinton made a faustian bargain by voting for the Iraq war resolution back on October 11, 2002. They still lost the senate.

But now she must pay the piper.

Behind a thin veneer of democracy, our form of government is not about debate or ideas or the people, but money. Properly, it should be called a plutocracy.

The formula is this: raise money so that you can hire air time and convince enough people who are not really paying attention that you have it.

Take a position when calculations show that it is politically feasible, otherwise remain milquetoast.

but when there is a gaggle
of evil people

I turn my

opening sometimes

and my middle fing-
