If He Only Had A Spine
"If I Only Had A Spine"
by commenter Matt Osborne
Sung to the tune of "If I Only Had a Brain"
He could bring a bill to cloture
And heed the will of voters
Ending gridlock-grind;
For sixty votes we'd muster
There'd be no filibuster
If Harry had a spine!
Agendas would be simple
And leftward of the middle
Passing in good time;
Oh, the bills we would be passing
With an expedited fashion
If Harry had a spine!
Oh, who can tell me why
The GOP's in charge?
'Minority' means not so large
So why is taking charge so hard?
He could be not quite so easy
An upright leader, you see,
Instead of flat-supine;
He would be friends with Jerry
Obama would be merry
If Harry had a spine!

Bob, one of these days we'll have to get a Tom Lehrer of our own. Will you animate it?

OK - yes, I would put money in the bucket for a Matt Osbourne Bob Cesca team up.

My mom and I were having this exact discussion tonight at dinner though not nearly as witty nor did we sing to that tune! Well done...this was hilarious (though sadly true)

Matt,
Please find a way to make a song about growing balls within the Democratic leadership.

Most creative lines (my favorites):
"An upright leader, you see,
Instead of flat-supine;"

Harry Reid needs to go--I love it how the only time the Dems show a spine in the last 8 years--it just happens to be meaningless un-win-able opposition to their OWN FUCKING PARTY and PREZnit.
FU Di-Fi as well--I will never vote for her again in CA.
