Political humor about George Dubya and the founder of the Internet, Al Gore... or should we say eGore!

Title: eGore went down to Florida

Sung to the tune: The Devil went down to Georgia
tatrades.tripod.com (play in background)

eGore went down to Florida
He was lookin' for an election to steal
And he was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to cut a deal
When he came across a Gov'ner
Knawin' on a victory and chewin' hard
And eGore jumped up on a hickory stump and said,
"Gov, let me tell you what:

I bet you didn't know it but I'm a Florida Contender too,
And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you run a pretty good campaign Gov'
but give eGore his due
I'll bet a nation of gold and the white house it holds
that I got more votes than you!"

The Gov'ner said, "My names Dubya
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret
'Cause this Texan always wins!"

(Chorus)

Dubya rally up your troops
And fight for that vote hard
'Cause eGore's loose in Florida
And Bill Daley holds the cards.
And if you win you get that shiny nation made of gold
But if you lose, then eGore gets con-trol.


eGore opened up his mouth and said, "I'll start this show"
And fire burned in his lawyers eyes
As they knew they'd make some dough
And he pulled his hand across his lips
And he made an evil grin.
Then in walked Palm Beach voters
Dubya's chances were lookin' thin

(Guitar/bass solo)

When eGore finished, Dubya said,
"Well, your pretty good ol' son!
But plant your butt in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done!"

(Chorus II)

Democrats in them Orange Groves, run George, run!
eGore's by the Whitehouse sayin' he's won
Your dad's on your side and your brother, well he's in tow,
Al Sharpton's hittin' the streets, God, Please NO!


(Fast Fiddle/Guitar solo)

eGore bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he conceded that Golden Nation
On the ground at Dubya's feet
Dubya said, "eGore, just come on back
if ya ever wanna try again.
I done told you once,
you tree huggin' dunce,
us Texans, we always win!"

(Chorus II)

Democrats in them Orange Groves, run George, run!
eGore's by the Whitehouse sayin' he's won
Your dad's on your side and your brother, well he's in tow,
Al Sharpton's hittin' the streets, God, Please NO!

PS - I did not write this...just changed parts of it and added the tune that I captured from a website.

Cheers!

Republican Senators in close races this election cycle have shown real class, while Gore has shown nothing but contempt for America's system of justice.

Oh please. Don't be absurd. At this point it looks to me like Gore is the only one trying to see the will of the American voters fully counted. (Of course he does want to win too.) But I see Bush as only interested in winning, through delay and obstruction if necessary - damn the damage to the Republic.
