I posted this originally in my stint as the guest Blog Roundup guy over at C&L, but what the heck:
I is for Iraq, the dead and dying
M is for the "Mass" in "WMD"
P is for the Presidential lying
E... Ex-ec-u-tive, u-ni-ta-ry--
A is for Attorneys who were let go
C is for the Constitution -- maimed
H is for Hell we've made at Gitmo
M is for the Mandate that Bush claimed--
E is for the Eight-inch, cut "reporter"
N is for uNserious blogs' snark
T is for those winger Troll supporters
...
And now, the final exclamation mark!
Put them all together, they spell I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T-!
A word that means the world to me...
Notes on the original: Based on the über-schmaltzy M-O-T-H-E-R (A Word That Means the World to Me), lyrics by Howard Johnson. This, alas, is the best I can do for you on the tune: Skip the intro and listen to 1:06 through 2:07. Those of you who remember the fabulous Sixties may have encountered another parody version of the same song in Richard Farina's Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.
I'm picturing great throngs of people singing the song outside the White House, after they've surrounded it to prevent Miers, et al, from escaping without being arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms or such citizens has he has deputized. Sort of campfire feel...
I know I've been remiss in getting our Audio modules up again (memory problems) but if anyone wants to sing this, or make a YouTube with musical accompaniment, I'd be more than happy to publish it...
NOTE Or possibly an All the little angels feel, for you Terry Pratchett fans out there...
