With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein...

Sing to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music (you know, the whole “raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens” thing!) and pronounce the "double-u!"

George W Things

Floating dead bodies and tax cuts for Wal-Mart
Big no-bid contracts and cutbacks for Head Start
Unqualified judges all from the right wing
These are some very George W things!

Crony appointments and huge budget shortfalls
Insider stock sales when we all make windfalls
Hoping that Tom DeLay’s buddies don’t sing
These are some very George W things!

Illegal invasions and gay male hookers
Cowing the press into timid onlookers
Stealing elections with Diebold machines
These are some very George W things!

Prayer back in classrooms and laws based on Jesus
Don't give a damn how those foreigners see us
Let's drill for oil right behind the West Wing
These are some very George W things!

(Refrain)
When the war tanks
When the polls sink
When I'm feeling sad
I get liquored up and cut aid for the poor
And then I don't feel so bad!

Repeat!

Peter! You really outdid yourself! You should send that in to the Daily Show!
