Election 2012: "10 Little Republicans"
Possible 2012 Republican presidential candidates seem to be dropping faster then flies in the East Room of the White House.
With due continence and approbation to TPM Poet Laureate, and Resident G-D Fearing Scholar, Sir Dickish Daze, I offer for your effusive consumption, "10 Little Republicans." Who will, or Will it be?
"10 Little Republicans 2012" (a children's rhyme)
(ahem)
Ten little Republicans standin' in a line,
Jindal answered the President address and then there were nine;
Nine little Republicans swingin' on a gate,
Who knows what sex Lindsey Graham is and then there were eight.
One little, two little, three little, four little, five little Republican boys,
Six little, seven little, eight little, nine little, little Republican boys, and one little Republican girl.
Eight little Republicans gayest under heav'n.
Charlie Crist ain't conservative e'nuff and then there were seven;
Seven little Republicans cuttin' up their tricks,
Newt is yesterday's salamander and then there were six.
Six little Republicans all alive,
Rush found out Cantor is Jewish and then there were five;
Five little Republicans on a cellar door,
Nobody likes Romney and then there were four.
Four little Republicans up on a spree,
Huckabee caught his G' string and then there were three;
Three little Republicans out on a canoe,
Sanford took a hike and then there were two.
Two little Republicans foolin' with a gun,
Sarah got shot down and then there was one;
One little Republican havin' some fun,
Dick's battery dies and then there were none.
With homage to "10 Little Injuns" - Septimus Winner, 1868

How can it be?!? Hilarious and profound?!? The result is sublime.
Let's give Murry's dad a special treat (ok dd - send him the picture of you in your best jammies and include a yum yum for Murry - this is so deserving).
Terrific.
Rec'd..

Hilarious.
This early, if a front runner actually emerges, they're doomed anyway (see: Clinton, Hillary).
As of now, Mitch Daniels says he's not running. I think it's a good bet that he won't. But if he does run, the conservatives will eat him up. He's like George Bush with a mean streak.

On his bass guitar...G' string - You got a mind like Borat (new definition of torture - having to sit through one of his movies JMHO)

Yeah, but you could have said his, E, A, or D string. Now, who was it with the Borat like mind?

You are right. I apologize. How about dinner and a movie? Bruno?

Great job, Steve! (Glad you explained the G-string!)

Hilarious! but they keep popping back up like those carnival ducks only to be swatted down again. I doubt we'll ever be free from all of them and why would we want to be for heaven's sakes. They're better entertainment than summer TV.

I do hereby award you the Dayly Poet of the Day Award, however, for this here TPMCafe Site, given to all of you from all of me.
