With a defiant taunt, "Bring it on!"
Said candidate Senator John.
Now Carville and McAulliffe
Begala and all have
Joined forces beside Genghis Khan.

The Liberals truly abhor
This lied-about, blood-for-oil war.
Damn the flip-flops
Pull out all the stops
Call up Dukakis and Gore.

With just 7 weeks left for campaigning,
Who could be allegedly feigning
Memos from the Air Guard
In attempts to retard
And prevent Bush's numbers from gaining?

The DNC/CBS trove
Of memos has questionable prose.
But can they disavow
All involvement? And now
They've resorted to blaming Karl Rove.

With the MSM* losing its grip
Will their dominance falter and slip?
Both red-faced and red-handed
Will they be reprimanded
And the ANCHOR go down with the ship?

The question is if Dan can really
stick to his story and will he
Defend superscripts/font
That could come back to haunt
And make CBS feel RATHER silly.

*MSM = mainstream media

 

Dan Rather he wanted the scoop
but the memos were worthless as poop.
They came from a computer
and the findings will neuter

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
The documents were fake and he didn't give a damn;
He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job,
But up from the web come a howlin' mob.

Blogs, that is.
Web logs.
Checkin' facts.

Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast;
Made a false report an' it bit him in the ass;
He said ''dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!''
But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.

Busted, that is.
Red-faced.
Mud in the eye.

Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men;
And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' all them in;
You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News,
And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.

Y'all come back, now, y'heah?
