This is the song that opened the Virginia rally today.

It's hot!

This can’t be the real Bocephus singing?

That's awesome - thanks for sharing!

Of course, now I have no choice but to share my own reworking of another country music classic....

with deep apologies to Merle Haggard….

We don’t drink Merlot here in Wasilla
We don’t take our trips to Waikiki
We burn oil, not U.S. flags on Main Street
‘Cause we like living right and being free.

We don’t make a big deal out of hunting
But we like shooting moose and caribou
And if we let our hair grow long and shaggy
It’s just because it’s minus 42…

And I’m proud to be a driller from Wasilla
A place where real women can be found
Where men don’t whine and pout like Brokeback cowboys
And “white powder” still means snow upon the ground.

Leather boots and snowshoes are our basic footwear
Birkenstocks and loafers won’t be seen
New York may have chic boutiques and discos,
But the kids here can fly planes at 17.

Oh, I’m proud to be a driller from Wasilla
A place where real women can be found
Where men don’t wear cologne that smells like a whorehouse
And “white powder” still means snow upon the ground.

In Wasilla: yes, Alaska, U.S.A.!

Yes it is. He opened the McCain Palin Rally this morning in Virginia Beach and the event closed with that song.

I went to the rally in Virginia Beach this morning. Crowd was HUGE! Had a great time. Hank’s song was a hit!

[freemama]

Well yeah, Hank Williams Jr was at the rally with all of them.

Thanks, but I don’t know how old Merle would feel about it, being a Democrat and all.

[nickcarraway]

Aparently: Sarah Palin Talks Moose Hunting with Hank Williams Jr.

[Hang'emAll]

Wonderful.

I still find it funny they picked this song, given it's original context. Hell Bent and Agenda Driven, anyone?

[DeLaine]

Listen to this ping

Makes me wish ole Leatherneck was still here.

[gidget7]

Maybe he is a conservative Democrat. Wouldn’t be a stretch considering his age and songs.

[griswold3]

I don’t think even Merle would recognize these folks as Democrats any longer.

“You’re walking on the fightin’ side of me!”

Thanks for the ping, Roger!
