Christmas SONG for Rahm Emanuel |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-25-09 10:55 PM by Segami
Audio version: < http://truthsite.org/emanuel/> O come, O come, Emanuel!
And pay homage to Blue Dog Democrats,
Who serve the corporations with glee
And fill the Party coffers with booty.
Rejoice, rejoice, Emanuel!
The Change promised our nation is unreal.
* * *
O come, ye protector, Emanuel!
Ye friend of health insurance companies,
Who profit by denying coverage to
sick and dying patients doubly screwed.
Rejoice, rejoice, Emanuel!
Healthcare reform is compromised away.
* * *
Oh come, ye gatekeeper, Emanuel!
Protect Obama from progressive ire.
"They're fucking stupid," you said of them,
Though they're the ones who brought your boss to power.
Rejoice, rejoice, Emanuel!
The Democratic base can go to hell.

4. Who mentioned Nelson or Lieberman? Rahm is a well know corporatist and proud of it. |
|
You are either feigning ignorance or you haven't been following party politics very well the past 20 years. If you knew who Rahm Emanual was you would get the joke, you would be laughing your ass off right now.
Don't worry, there was a time when I didn't know much about the different branches of the party and there differing views.
Rahm is DLC, they pretty much think that corporations are the answer and are proud of promoting them.

8. You're right that others share blame |
|
The song mentions "Blue Dog Democrats" in the first verse. That includes Nelson. That Lieberman is bad goes without saying! :)
Of course, the Republicans are even worse than Rahm, Lieberman, and the Blue Democrats. Alas, that's the dilemma progressives have been in for years: having to choose from among the lesser of two evils. Nor do I think that it's always right to vote for a third party progressive candidate. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is precisely what you need to choose -- for example, in 2000. Sigh.
