Another G & S parody: out of "Patience"
I don't mean to get political--it just happens. This is mainly directed at a certain type of Republican who I am sure annoys even other Republicans. If the shoe fits. . .
If you want a receipt for that modern anomaly
Known to the world as a GOP goon,
Take all right-wing pundits who rant on so balmily,
Rattle them off to a Sullivan tune.
The guile of Bob Novak unmasking poor Valerie–
Chutzpah of Limbaugh on six Percodan–
The rashness of Bennett high-rolling his salary–
Grace of Ann Coulter de-balling a man–
The ethics of Gallagher’s small honoraria–
Logic of Kristol’s “New Century” plan–
The horse-sense of Krauthammer’s pro-war hysteria–
“Culture of Life” that would level Iran–
The deep intellect of broadcaster Sean Hannity–
Generous nature of Norquist’s humanity–
William F. Buckley and Doc Laura Schlesinger–
Reverend James Dobson (who’s God’s only messenger)--
Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz–Thomas DeLay–
Gannon or Guckert (whoever’s less gay)!
Take of these elements what’s least defensible,
Mash them and blend them ‘til fully insensible,
Boil off the liquid and leave just the scum,
And a GOP goon is the residuum!
CHORUS:
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
A GOP goon is the residuum!
- - -
If you want a receipt for this parroting hooligan,
Add the Grand Dragon addressing the Klan–
The middle-class lemmings Bush managed to fool again–
Ashcroft deciding what next he should ban–
A six-week-old infant all squalling and colicky–
Charm of Bob Dole when deprived of his bran–
The Powell UN speech (which now proves so bollocky)--
Randian dabbling of Alan Greenspan–
The bold machinations of Rove or Lee Atwater–
Money of Coors (whose light beer tastes like flat water)--
Mem’ry of Reagan–Podhoretz, a touch of him–
Joseph McCarthy (a little too much of him)--
Lynne Cheney’s “Sisters”–the art of Kincaide–
All True Believers who drink the Kool-Aid!
Meld all these items with utmost agility,
Taking account of their great volatility,
Boil down the mixture and leave just the scum,
And a GOP goon is the residuum!
CHORUS:
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
A GOP goon is the residuum!
