BUSHIT. (If DU had a theme song, this would be it.)

[Gregorian]

I heard it on the radio in a small town in northern California, my jaw totally dropped.

Here's a clip of it on realaudio from http://bushandcheneysuck.com

Bush It

words and music by Darryl Cherney

(A)(G)(A) First they went and stole the election
(B) The Supreme Court went and made the selection
(D) The corporations gave the direction
They said (A) "Bush it" (G) (A)

(A) He went and hired his daddy's staff
(B) And few guys from Nixon's just for a laugh
(D) Now the world is his oyster to split in half
(A) Bush it (G) (A)

(A) Now though he'd never been to a foreign land
And a (B) map of the world he'd never understand
(D) Right up his back went the puppeteer's hand
(A) Bush it

(D) Bush it--the old President's son
(B) Bush it--that's the way it's done
(D) Bush it--for all of your friends
(E) Who knows where this whole thing's gonna (A) end (G)(A)

Then someone goes and topples the towers
Took years to build destroyed it in hours
The FBI and CIA said give us more powers
Bush it

Then the puppeteer says hey I got a plan
Though the guys were all Saudis lets bomb Afganistan
Then camp out with our friends in Pakistan
Bush it

But that wasn't the end to these tragic attacks
Some used the U.S. mail to send anthrax
Kinda funny how it went just to Democrats
Bush it

Bush it--The old President's boy
Bush it--He got a brand new toy
Bush it--Down old Texas way
Hey now look at Georgie Junior play

Vice President Cheney meets with Enron of course
On how to manage our oil resource
Give 'em rolling blackouts and a secret task force
We'll Bush it

The Enron goes bankrupt after stealing us blind
But they left a trail of campaign cash behind
But when asked for his records Cheney big time declined
He said Bush it.

Now before 9-1-1 Bush wasn't too bright
Did Osama Bin Laden show him the light?
They're both CIA boys and they know how to fight
They Bush it

Bush it--To the limit and then
Bush it--And Bush it again
Bush it--And make no mistake
There is just so much that we can take

He's got two drunken daughters and a drug addict niece
But that doesn't matter, he'll just call up the police
And say you can keep all the others, but I want their release
Bush it

Now he did booze and coke and he doesn't deny it
But he says that he quit and he's on a new diet
Now he passes out on pretzels--does anyone buy it?
Bush it

Now George is an artist and he's trying to sell it
He's a bit of a devil--doesn't think we can tell it
But it's piled up so high it's hard not to smell it
Bush-it

Bush it--The new President's song
Bush it--You know he can't be wrong
Bush it--Out of the President's way
What more can a real American say?

Bush It! Bush It! Bush It!

1. I've never heard it said that the FBI planted the bomb.

It's certainly clear that they were more than happy to paint them as extremists, however it does seem entirely likely that the bomb came from someone in the timber industry. Some of the timber industry folks in CA are certifiable.

[Gregorian]

4. I'll edit my post.

I know he won a lawsuit against the fbi. I seem to recall little these days. But it seemed the fbi was teaching someone how to plant bombs. And maybe it was those same timber goons. Of course it was all about slashing the forests down in the name of profit.

2. I always thought our theme song was

"All that Money Wants" by the Psychedelic Furs.

6. Psychedelic Furs. One my favs.

A great band. Yes. No comparison.

I shouldn't have said DU theme. I should have said anti-Bush. The guy pegged every aspect of this administration. Back then. The real kicker for me was hearing that over a car radio, of all things. Haha.

3. I nominated another song about a week or so ago

but no one seemed to like the idea.

[Gregorian]

7. I don't see why not. That was "special".

And quite confusing. Some sort of semi-baliwood. The guy's enthusiasm is the way I feel about the majority of Democrats in Congress.

[Onlooker]

9. Yes!

I knew there was something about his expression that was familiar.

5. How about this one?

(This is for all the folk... For all the simple folk... for all the good old down home folk.)

A'ight? Straight out of London town.

(It's for you folk.)

Here's an interesting bit of conspiracy theory for you...

George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously
Trained by Al Qaeda in the heart of Texas to fight for the faithful army
He's now in the process of uniting the rest of the world against the good old U S of A
The land of the free will come crashing down if he has his way

It's the only explanation, old Bushy boy is an Islamic Fundamentalist
He's three quarters the way through his plan already and no-one's even noticed
That must be a damn-fine Al Qaeda training camp they've got down there in Texas (Yee ha!)
Getting him to pretend he's as thick as pig-shit was a stroke of pure bloody genius

Yeah, George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously
Trained by Al Qaeda in the heart of Texas to fight for the faithful army
He's now in the process of uniting the rest of the world against the good old U S of A
The land of the free will come crashing down if he has his way, trust me

He's presided over and has been involved with one of the worst financial disasters of a generation
Every move he makes seems to be directly against the interests of his nation, haven't you noticed?
He's used the media to increase the social insulation of an already fairly bland population, since the McCarthy days
And now he's declared war on Islam just to increase the consternation

As far as I can see there's only one explanation
George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously

These days on the street you hear all kind of interesting conspiracy theories cos no-one knows what the fuck's going on, we're all looking for explanations
The most interesting one I heard the other day was that the West was controlled by genuine democracies that actually represent the will of their populations
Only the one about the aliens, the anti-Christ and the Freemasons is more laughable. Ha ha ha ha.

I think my theory is much more plasible, let me tell you about it, it goes like this,
George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously
It really is the only explanation I can see
For his truly anti-American foreign policy.

Now, at this point, I would ask you all to sing along with the chorus, normally. If it wasn't for the fact that there are cameras on the premises and the CIA might be requisitioning the tapes at any time. So I recommend that at under all circumstances, catchy though this numbers is, you do not sing along, you do not even smile. I recommend the most you do is tap your feet. But you do that at your own risk.

George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously
Trained by Al Qaeda in the heart of Texas to fight for the faithful army
George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously
George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, obviously

George Bush is an Islamic fundamentalist, fundamentalist, fundamentalist, fundamentalist, mentalist, mentalist, mentalist. George, George, George.

[Gregorian]

8. It's freakish how that explanation actually works.

It might be funny if it weren't so accurate. Damn.
