Our Man

Post by Joe Law »

After reading this quote from Matt Drudge's column today , this look's like he (George W.) might be our man. How about it?
"The Bush family is in to the REAL thing, Country Western, so who cares what these punks at MTV
do," noted one observer.

President-elect Bush likes country music, fer sure. The Cornell Hurd Band played for a party at the Gov's Mansion last year, and the Dubya came up and dug the band, obviously having a good time.

Bobby Snell and I played twin steels that night, so I have a witness! Image

This little ditty is making the E-mail rounds. I've received it from 3 different people already. (warning- some of you will become very angry wheh you read it.)



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.



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.



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.



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.



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.



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?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Mike Perlowin on 13 January 2001 at 01:20 AM.]</p></FONT>

Jerry, I didn't write the song. It's circulating all over the E-mail system.

Like it or not, Bush comes into office with a very big albatross hanging from his neck. He lost the popular vote by 579,000 votes at last count, and the recount in Florida was stopped before the true winner in that state could be determined.

He is entering the presidency with more opposition nationwide than any president in history. There are going to be lots of things like this song. Get used to hearing and reading them.

Marty, for the first time ever, I agree with you. Bring on your Banjo, I'll play the mandolin.

Anybody here wanna play dobro with is?

Hey Mike,
I'll play Dobro but I'd like to set up with me on the right and you on the left. Does anyone want the middle of the stage?

This isn't a political forum, folks. Please take your political rants to Off Topic.

Jerry, politics aside, I'd love to do a mandolin/dobro duet with you some day. (Since we both play both instruments, we can trade half way through the song.)

How are we going to arrange for this to happen?

Mike,
I'd like it too along with our steels, maybe we can jam together sometime at Scotty's as it's about half way between us. Hope everything's going good for you and you haven't been hit by any of those power shortages we've been hearing of. I guess it's good we both play another instrument which doesn't need an amp.
