The Ballad of Karl Rove

President George W. Bush stands with Mrs. Laur...

Image via Wikipedia

I’m Karl Rove – call me Herr

Why should I even care

If you’re poor or in need or you starve eh?

I think I’m quite fair

Why do they compare

What I am to white grubs or fly larvae?

 

Me? I never harmed anyone

I never had any fun

In high school they all called me fatso

They mooed like a cow

But I get even now

I’m the phattest of fat plutocrats oh –

 

 

I am the puppeteer

I pull the strings from the rear

I pull the strings

(Like I used to pull wings)

Off  butterflies

In my teen-age years

I was George W’s brain

Christ, what a huge fucking strain

A real mental hernia

But how can it concern ya

When this new bunch

Owns “Dumb” the domain 

 

Ohhh – This –

New bunch owns “Dumb” the domain

This new bunch owns “Dumb” the domain

“Smart’s” elitism

Code word: Socialism

Don’t trust anyone with a brain

 

 

 

I’m Karl Rove call me Herr

Who said life should be fair

If you’re poor I don’t mind if you’re poorer

A job? You don’t need it

A voice? G’wan beat it

I’m the one per cent’s money insurer

 

I am Karl Rove master schemer

I own a Rolls and a Beemer

Wanna get rich vote for us

That’s the Tea Party chorus

And if you believe that you too are a dreamer

  1. Tony, you bad boy. I wonder how many people visited Mr. Louis’ site from here. I have to love your sense of the obsurd.

  2. You speak it so well, Tony.

    I am not that up with politics, but I do know absolutely George Bush made me sick – everything he said, way he said it, his policies. And that thing about pulling wings off butterflies – oh sickly perfect imagery.

    I don’t know Karl Rove, but I like your rhyme.

  3. Between you, the Daily Show and Matt Taibbi, I think all of my politics commentary is covered…

  5. You’re right on the mark again, Tony. Another good one for the collection. Their ears should be burning good.

  6. I just watched Bush’s Brain on Current. Imagine the pain and suffering that may have been avoided if this guy could have gotten fucked in high school.
