Saw this today on a Baptist forum I frequent, Baptist Life; thought it clever, if not outright godly.

"KENNEBUNKPORT HILLBILLY" Alternative title: "Hail to the Thief"
(to be sung to the tune of The Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song)

1. Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy name Bush.
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
He drank like a fish while he drove all about.
But that didn't matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is. Criminal record. Cover-up.

2. Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
Blow, that is. White gold. Nose candy.

3. The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
Kin folks say "George, stay at home with Mom
Let the common people get maimed and scarred.
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard."
Cushy, that is. Country clubs. Nose candy.

4. Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
He said "Now the White House is the place I wanna be."
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP.
Gun owners, that is. Falwell. Jesse Helms.

5. Come November 7, the election ran late.
Kin folks said "Jeb, give the boy your state!
Don't let those colored folks get into the polls."
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes.
Chads, that is. Duval County. Miami-Dade.

6. Before the votes were counted five Supremes stepped in.
Told all the voters "Hey, we want George to win.
Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation.
And that's how George finally got his coronation.
Rigged, that is. Illegitimate. No moral authority.

Y'all come vote now. Ya hear?

(As if we needed any more election stuff...)

Lovely. But don't blame Kennebunkport! Last I heard they were trying to blow up the point's access to the mainland -- and maybe Walker's Point would just drift away. (You've heard of the Cape Porpoise Triangel? That mysterious body of water bounded by the Goat Island Light, the Boon Island Light and George Bush (not the Shrub) on his moped.

Tom and I read your Kennebunkport Hillbilly today. We've had the flu and this is the best medicine since penecillin. We laughed so hard and sang it several times and went over to Tom's mother's house and sang it to her. She loved it too. It's absolutely brilliant. We live among the thieves in Volusia County, FL where the first recount was done. They had to get it done in a hurry so no one would look too closely at the rotten election practices in this county.The Beckstrom case was here also where they changed the ballots in the Sheriff's race four years ago. It went to the Supreme Court where it was decided there was no wrong-doing. Yeah, right. Tom is constantly fighting the politicians in this county. You reminded us that sometimes humor is the best weapon. Keep up the good work! Tom Licardi and Carol Brooks DeLand, FL
