re: DU and DailyKos

They don’t need Edwards now, he’s not the lib President who must be protected at all costs, and Obambi is their new guy, so it’s more convenient to throw Edwards under the bus (or overboard from the good ship CSS* Dystopia) — get rid of him quickly the libs think, we don’t need him around anymore.

*CSS = Commie States Ship

That bus has got to be getting pretty smelly. Oh, sure, you can hose of the sides and the tires, but that exhaust system is pretty hot, and parts get stuck and fused to it, and every time you start up the bus the putrid stink warms up and permeates to the point that all the pine tree air fresheners in Beijing cabs can’t cover the stench.

The more pretenders to the throne crash and burn “by their own deeds”, the more the heir apparent is The One. The Obamessiah. The golden child.

MY HOPES
Tune: "High Hopes"

Next time you choose
To get your name in the news
There's a bridge to be burned
Guess what--you lose

Just what made my Reverend Wright
Think his racist rants were alright
Everyone knows in a tight fight
I need votes that are white

But he hurt my hopes
He hurt my hopes
He hurt my White-House-try don't-deny hopes

So if we've been friends very long
But you do me wrong
There's no longer an "us"
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus

When scandals break
And you've made a mistake
There's a bridge to be burned
My name's at stake

My pal Rezko got me a house
Room for me, my kids, and my spouse
But losin' a trial has aroused doubts
Now I think he's a louse

'Cause he hurt my hopes
He hurt my hopes
He hurt my White-House-try don't-deny hopes

So if you've been a friend of mine
Better get in line
Your turn's comin' like thus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus

('Cause he hurt my hopes
He hurt my hopes
He hurt my White-House-try don't-deny hopes)

So if you make my numbers slip
You'll soon take a trip
Where you're covered with dust
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
The bus!
