What's Next 9/11 Orphans,
Almost As Creepy As The FEMA RAP
Oh, the irony! All the conservatives were bashing the gay parents for "politicizing" the egg roll, and then they pull a stunt like that. This sounds like a propaganda campaign from the old USSR, where they
used to use little children as both props and messengers of propaganda.
After the song was over, the kids grouped up and apologized for being in the way of the water.
"Our country's stood beside us
People have sent us aid.
Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade. Congress, Bush and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!"
Neither Congress, FEMA, nor President Bush should be proud of their
response in the Gulf Coast. FEMA's post-Katrina housing program has
produced "vast sums of waste and misspent funds," now likely to "top $1 billion and perhaps much more." Despite President Bush's pledge to build the levees "higher and better," federal officials now say "there may not be enough money to fully protect the entire region."
And as even Newt Gingrich acknowledged this weekend, "it’s going to be
really bad by September when we go back and have a one-year review and
we realize how much of New Orleans is not fixed as of this coming September."
It’s not yet clear who actually produced the song, but the mystery writer is definitely in the running for a Grammy.
"Oh, we're the Boys of the Chorus, We hope you like our show. We know you're routin' for us, But, now we've got to go!"
All praise to you, Dear Leader, and to the Supreme Conservative Council! oh.... my head suddenly HUUUURRRRRRRTS!
NO! Shit I'm lost. This stuff is scary. I better go to the grocery store and buy some garlic and string to make a necklace. Maybe stop off and pick up some holy water too.
Exploiting children for a photo op, how lovely. To be followed by a
double encore from the Iraqi Children's Choir, 'We Never had it this
Good' and 'Come Let us Adore Him'.
After singing, were they rewarded with keys to nice shiny trailers ... or are those still in Arkansas?
