I originally posted this in the comments of Kim Priestap's excellent analysis of the McKinney race over on the main page HERE, but I thought maybe we all deserved a chuckle.
McKinney, although losing in a landslide, blames electronic voting machines for her loss.
Once I saw the video of McKinney trying to sing along with Pink's anti-Bush song, I decided to dust off the ol' five-string and sing her off into the sunset.
{with sincere and humble apologies to Roy Clark}
I've made a small fortune and you kept taxing it all
You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall
But I thought you were safe and I hoped you would change
So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain.
Now you come to me without a simple goodbye
You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why
Now we're here at the ballot box and you keep rambling on
And all I can think of is thank God and Diebold you're gone
Thank God and Diebold you're gone
I didn't know how much longer I could go on
Watching you take the respect out of me
Watching you make a total wreck out of me
That electric machine is a-playing my song
Thank God and Diebold you're gone.
Thank God and Diebold you're gone
That load on my mind got lighter when you moved on
That shiny machine is a beautiful sight
With no paper receipts to mess up the lights
It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long
Thank God and Diebold you're gone.
Thank God and Diebold you're gone...
:-D
