The marching refrain with with Rummy, Bush and Cheney is side splitting..

I thought satire got exempted from all that.

Wouldn't the Pinko Guthrie want his music to be "for the good of all"?

I guess this means the end for my joke with the punchline:
"Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed you new shoes...?

Nope.

All this will do is give the parody more publicity. Political commentary is really immune from this kind of thing. I was involved with an e-bay parody used on a campaign in 2002, and their lawsuit and all their high-paid lawyers fell flat on their face (after lots and lots of free publicity). The same was true with Ralph Nader's Mastercard commercial parody.

Gr. Let's forgo that this song is a tribute to America and it's people, and should be in the public domain anyways...

This was used for "satirical purposes," which, last time I checked, was covered under fair use (but I'm no Copyright Atty.).

2. Parody

A parody is a work that ridicules another, usually well-known work, by imitating it in a comic way. Judges understand that by its nature, parody demands some taking from the original work being parodied. Unlike other forms of fair use, a fairly extensive use of the original work is permitted in a parody in order to "conjure up" the original.

This is great, it just means more publicity for them.

Oh good grief you people (The Richmond Organization), get a grip!

Send JibJab to all your leftist enemies. It will drive them crazy it is so funny. Your friends will laugh so hard they may pee in their pants. Highly recommended for lots of laughter.
