Flashback: Half a prophet...

My post from 9/07: Right scam, wrong scammer...
Now look at that Clinton, that's the way you do it
You play the class war on the ol' tv
That ain't campaignin', that's the way you do it
Health care for nothin' and your docs for free
Now that ain't campaignin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya that gal ain't dumb
Maybe look righteous waggin' a finger
Sure to get a vote from some bum.

We gotta worry 'bout Middle East countries
Immigration and trade treaties
We gotta balance the fed'ral budget
And that don't play on soundbite tv.

See the little Clinton with the earrings and the makeup
Yeah buddy that ain't her own dough
Givin' away other people's money
Always makes for a real good show.

We gotta worry 'bout Middle East countries
Immigration and trade treaties
We gotta balance the fed'ral budget
And that don't play on soundbite tv.

I shoulda learned to play th' Class War
I shoulda learned to court them bums
Look at that mama, she gonna promise free insurance
Votes? That's gonna get some.
And she's up there, whats that? Socialist noises?
Bangin' on the wealthy like Noam Chomsky
That ain't campaignin', that's the way you do it
Health care for nothin' and your docs for free.

We gotta worry 'bout Middle East countries
Immigration and trade treaties

And that don't play on soundbite tv.

Now that ain't campaignin', that's the way you do it
You play the class war on the ol' tv
That ain't campaignin', that's the way you do it
Health care for nothin' and your docs for free
Health care for nothin' and docs for free.
Who'd have thought Barry would beat Ms. Inevitable way back then?

Further, who'da thunk she would seem like Ms. Moderate just a short time later?

Dire straits, indeed...

Ah well, that's the way it goes when the party of "count every vote"...doesn't.

Arguably, Hillary got the popular vote, but it looks like Barry charmed the Democratic Royalty, and took home the nomination.

You'd think they would be embarrassed by all this, but, well, no, not really.

We really need to kill those damn political parties dead.

Actually, I figured back in '04 that he'd be running in '07/08.

I'd never heard of the man, and no one else had either. But he gave the keynote address back at the 2004 DNC Convention, and I could detect the MSM's adoration for him. I figured he would be running in the next Dem presidential primary, and that with backing of the MSM, he'd win it.

And I was right.

Given the huge rise in unemployment, I guess the lyrics have changed back to: "That ain't workin'"

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's not the hand you can see that steals your wallet.

When it comes to affirmative action, a black jack beats a red queen any day.

Nice. You should update the lyrics and record it. Paul Shanklin move over... -- Lyle
