In *ahem* honor of Bush's speech last night...

...I'm reposting the song parody I wrote about him a couple of months ago. It's sung to the tune of "The Candy Man."

VERSE 1:

Who can call his daddy,
to keep out of Nam?
Join the Texas Air Guard
And spend one year on the lam?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

VERSE 2:

Who can run for pres’dent,
lose by half a mil?
Take the guy who won to court,
and get the White House still?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

BRIDGE:

The Bushy Man lied, U.S. soldiers died.
Still, nobody will impeach him.
Democrats — how do you reach them?
Didn’t that election teach them?

VERSE 3:

Who can sniff white powder,
up into his nose?
Get mixed up with Enron,
and still smell just like a rose?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

(REPEAT BRIDGE)

VERSE 4:

Who can cow reporters?
Open tax loopholes?
Never get Bin Laden,
but still rate high in the polls?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

1. excellent prose NightTrain
Good parody. I especially like the use of "Candy Man" since it has the dual meaning here, I mean with the white powder bit. He is a real good bullshit mixer. He may be all hat and no cattle, but he sure does know how to make his bullshit smell good to the sheeple.

2. That's good. And I was just thinking he looked like a deer in headlights
eighth grader giving an insincere speech in front of the whole school.
