Toby Keith Skewers The War On Christmas (Colbert Report)
Video at link....
Toby Keith appeared on Stephen Colbert's 2008 Christmas special and performed this song for the occasion. Such a dead-on parody that some conservatives thought he was serious.
It's a close call but I have to fall on the side of parody. For one thing, I don't think any mainstream country music artist would call for killing and bombing people and for another, it was performed on the Colbert Report.
The special was re-aired this week and I thought I'd post this song. And to all those Fox Newsies who undoubtedly wish he were serious... Happy Holidays!
