A Musical Salute to Tlaib's non-Trip to Israel
My Fevered Brow | 16 August 2019 | me

To the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
(with apologies to Elmo and Patsy)

An abbreviated version of the classic song to treat this news story with the seriousness it deserves.
This one has an unusual meter plus I took some small liberties, so please hang in there.


TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; Israel; News/Current Events; Political Humor/Cartoons
KEYWORDS: jihad; tlaib; victimology
To the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
(with apologies to Elmo and Patsy)

Grandma got caught up in the Jihad
Sitting on her porch in “Palestine”
It’s clear to all her grandkid tried to use her
Then Bibi called the bluff and showed some spine

Tlaib tried to pull a fast one
Thought that she could make a show
And with Omar there to help her
Guaranteed they’d say it’s racist, don’t you know

Tlaib didn’t get her headline
And Grandma sits alone at home
The Jews they still have a country
Despite the hate it’s still about shalom

I would hold off gloating. As with many times dealing with the left, they usually get their way. Watch Tlaib end up in Israel after all, and soon.

I love it.

I’ll take poetic license to change a name on this one... “Hey Talib, ‘We Did it Our Waaaaay...’”

Too bad for you.
