1. Swift Boat Pigs....

this *could* be interesting...

sing along!

THE BALLAD OF THE SWIFT BOAT VETS (with apologies–i guess–to Barry Sadler)

LYING TRAITORS FILL THE AIR
FOR THE TRUTH, THEY DO NOT CARE
WATCH THEM SMEAR, WITHOUT REGRETS
THOSE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

Chorus:
FILLED WITH LIES, THEY BEAT THEIR CHESTS
MAD WITH RAGE OVER BRAVE PROTESTS
THEY WORK FOR BUSH WITH THEIR VAGUE THREATS
THESE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

TRAINED BY ROVE TO MINE HIS THEMES
TRAINED IN VICIOUS, MINDLESS MEMES
MEN WHO SPEW THEIR FALSE VIGNETTES
PROUD TO BE SLIMMING SWIFT BOAT VETS

Chorus:
FILLED WITH LIES, THEY BEAT THEIR CHESTS
MAD WITH RAGE OVER BRAVE PROTESTS
THEY WORK FOR BUSH WITH THEIR VAGUE THREATS
THESE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

HERE AT HOME, THE YOUNG WIVES WAIT
WILL THEIR BRAVE MEN, FACE THE SAME FATE?
BUSH WILL USE THEIR SACRIFICE
NEVER KNOWING HOW DEAR THE PRICE

YOUR SILVER WINGS ARE A SICK FRAUD
YOUR LYING ADS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED
YOU'LL BE EXPOSED, I'LL WIN MY BETS
NOTHING LOWER, THAN THE SWIFT BOAT VETS.

Chorus:
FILLED WITH LIES, THEY BEAT THEIR CHESTS
MAD WITH RAGE OVER BRAVE PROTESTS
THEY WORK FOR BUSH WITH THEIR VAGUE THREATS
THESE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

2. Hey, I could sing it! Of course, now I'll have that tune

stuck in my head. :scared:

It would be great to hear it sung on SNL. (Where are the Smothers Brothers Show or Hootenanny when we need them again?)

3. O'Neill is getting skewered!

Go Koppel!!
