Go to a Tea Bagger rally in your block-long stretch limo. Step out wearing your black tux and monocle. Women wear furs, diamonds, opera gloves, and a $1,000 Dior gown. Outclass Rush Limbaugh by smoking a Gurkha Black Dragon cigar. Have legions of camera-flashing paparazzi follow you. Tea Baggers will adore you and worship the ground where your dog squats. Finally, don’t forget your own Palm Court ensemble performing this theme song:
“This Healthcare Plan Must Die”
(To the tune of “Battle Hymn Of The Republic”)
Rejoice and let us glory in the profits that we gain
By rationing the remedies for suffering and pain.
We will not let you regulate our budgetary drain.
This healthcare plan must die! (Chorus)
We bought a bunch of senators and congresspeople too.
They serve our corporate interests and we tell them what to do.
This gravy train will stop the day a healthcare bill gets through.
This healthcare plan must die! (Chorus)
Our PR team is crackerjack. We’re framing the debate!
We’re spreading lots of lies and we’re unleashing lots of hate.
We’ll drive a stake into the bill the day it leaves the gate.
This healthcare plan must die! (Chorus)
And finally, don’t forget to bring your placards (as gauche as it may seem, every tea bagger is a sucker for one of these):
Nothing like a little satire to soothe the savage beasts.
Do you think they'd get the joke?
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing funnier than watching the dumbfounded who doesn't get the joke (sounds cruel, but lets make this exception for a peculiar kind of village idiot).
ReplyDeleteLOL! Teabaggers in that video are clueless as to what BFW is about, but here they are already on to their shtick.
ReplyDeleteWell, one of them is, at least.
I linked to some of those placards on my blog's sidebar. The ones you are displaying must be new though, because they weren't there when I last visited their site.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same group that used to be "billionaires for bush". I purchased both of their CDs directly from their site -- and enjoyed them both. Even though bush is out of office I think they are still a worthwhile purchase.
(It appears they have a new one titled "stay the course" that I was not aware of. I'll have to buy it.)
I also recommend the Harry Shearer release "songs of the bushmen". Not as much as the billionaire CDs, but I got it for a good price (0.01 + 3.00 shipping) on eBay, and certainly enjoyed it at least that much.
Also Recommended: Paul Hipp, Jim Terr and David Ippolito (I love that Bill O'Reilly song, "Legend of the Big Giant Head").
A satire too clever for its own good? Sailing over the heads of the already clueless.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Imagine that! Another policy that becomes a profit center for investors?
ReplyDeleteYes, corporate socialism is alive and well in this country and that is the whole joke about the current state of political debate in the United States right now!
The United States is truely the land of opportunity!
