I ask a moment's endulgence from the non Yanks amongst us, I know our readership is far flung internationally, however this is a special time for folks from The States, as this is the first Presidential Caucases and Primaries that are campaigning through the Christmas Season and here are a few updated Christmas Carols for the occassion!
(To the tune of “Deck the Halls”)
Fill…the halls and make it raucous,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
I-o-wa’s about to caucus,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
They go first and we resent ‘em,
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la,
Why should they decide momentum?
-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
(To the tune of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”)
Rudolph the Giuliani,
Had a honey on the side,
And if you saw the records,
You would have to say he lied.
It takes a lot of planning,
When the mayor’s on a spree,
Nice to have Bernie Kerik
Vouch for his integrity!
(To the tune of “Sleigh Ride”)
See Major Leaguers hustling,
Mus-mus-muscling, too,
The scandal spreads like tumors
’Cause all those rumors are true.
They thickened up with lotions,
With pills and potions and goo,
While Selig watched them playing
And now is saying, “Who knew?”

(To the tune of “Frosty the Snowman”)
Georgie the “No” man,
With his veto pen unfurled,
Picking lots of spats with the Democrats
While he tries to run the world.
They send him budgets,
And he always sends them back,
Saying “Not my taste” -
But it’s fine to waste
Half a trillion in Iraq.

(To the tune of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”)
Mitt’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas,
Ev’rywhere he goes,
He says Jesus is No. 1 -
(Till Iowa is done) -
Is it real or only just a pose?
Mitt’s beginning to spook a lot of Christians,
Rivals closing in,
So no matter what Romney says,
'bout a Mormon as the prez,
He’s a might-have-been.

(To the tune of “Happy Holidays”)
Ahmedinejad…
Ahmedinejad…
Hear the president keep saying,
“Ahmedinejad, you’re through.”
With uranium…
On the cranium…
What a blow to all that braying,
If the NIE is true!
****
(To the tune of “Silent Night”)
Ed…wards fights…
For…your rights…
Just one goal…
In his sights.
Boyish charm and that megawatt smile,
Hard…to square with a bellicose style,
Swears he’s just what we ne-ed:
Millionaires hammering greed.

(To the tune of “Do You Hear What I Hear”)
Said the Veep to the people ev’rywhere,
“Do you fear what I fear?
“Be afraid, people ev’rywhere!
“Do you fear what I fear?
“It’s nukes, it’s nukes,
“Controlled by foreign kooks,
"Which is why I’m threat’ning Iran.
“When it comes to kooks,
“I’m your man.”

(To the tune of “Here We Go A-Caroling”)
O here we go Kucinich-ing,
A task we know so well,
Though Dennis hasn’t even
A snowball’s chance in hell.
Why’s he still on the stage?
Why won’t he just act his age?
’
Stead of sta-ting positions
With no ifs, no ands, no buts,
Still he’s not Alan Keyes:
He isn’t nuts.

(To the tune of “O Christmas Tree”)
O Huckabee,
Mike Huckabee,
You came from out of nowhere,
O Huckabee,
Mike Huckabee,
You’re giving them a good scare.
You smile and tell the smoothest jokes,
You come across like reg’lar folks,
O Huckabee,
Mike Huckabee,
But is there any “there” there?
* * *
I may be Canadian, but I too find them funny.
Merry Christmas!
