Attack of the Burma Shavers
( Subscribe | Discussion summary )

Liam Wescott- 11:19 am PST - Oct 21, 2000
Gore won the popular vote; Bush won the unpopular vote
Just to lighten things up a bit:

A few years back, myself and a friend were helping out on a political campaign. One day we got bored and started coming up with Burma-Shave type verses about our candidate and her opponent. For those either too young to remember or who have forgotten, the Burma Shave company used to put up little signs along the highway that extolled their product. There are lots of websites out there to give you an idea of what they were all about.

So I've come up with a few of my own about this campaign:

Gore won the popular vote; Bush won the unpopular vote

Why vote for the Shrub
Since we fired his Daddy?
If Shrub's dad couldn't cut it
Then don't hire the Laddy!

Integrity and honesty ought to be
In the character of those we elect
But to quote that comedian Rodney
Shrub gives us no respect!

George Jr. uses the "A" word,
Mark Fuhrman prefers the "N"
On a scale of moral leadership?
They both rate Minus Ten!

Repost these as you like, bring them to your local Dem HQ, just be sure to give me credit as well as my friend Neal Matson for his contributions. I can come up with more, I'm sure, and I am quite certain that the very creative people on this discussion forum can add their $0.02 as well.

When Bush must plop
Back to Austin
To rot in slop.

Let Mama shout and rave
About Son Dubya's real cute ways.
Perhaps she cannot see
His mind's perennial daze.

A mother ever loves a lout,
She cradled him in days of yore.
But now she cannot understand
Why compare he can't with Albert Gore.

"Incredibly, Mr. Nader has said that, if forced to choose, he would vote for Mr. Bush -- presumably as more likely to cause a backlash in the environment's favor." RFK Jr., environmental activist, 08/10/00 NYT

Every so often the Odells would get a little frisky with their sloganeering, which led to unexpected results.

Gore went to 'Nam
to see the sights
and his babysitters kept him
out of all firefights
 
 

The son of the Senator
from Tennesee
Was a REMF 'journalist'
don't you see...
 
 

But to gain
a poll point or two
he came up with another whopper
just for guys like you.
 
 

He said once in 'Nam
he came under fire -
then later had to retract
proving he's a liar.
 
 

So when someone tells you
that Gore is a vet -
Just remember that it's one of
his biggest lies yet.
 
 

Bubba Shave.
 
 

If the pic doesn't work, see it at http://www.geocities.com/stankulp/AlGore.gif. Any vet who sees this pic will immediately understand Gore for the moron he is.

Al Gore in Vietnam AL GORE IN VIET NAM Having posted a little tickler in last week's Digest about Al Gore's 141 days in Vietnam," The Federalist Editorial Board was inundated with inquiries from Vietnam vets. Most went something like this: "Gore claimed in his convention speech: 'I enlisted in the Army because I knew if I didn't go, someone else in the small town of Carthage, Tennessee would have to go in my place.' Since he wasn't KIA or wounded, how was it that his Army tour was far shorter than all the rest of us?" Our astute veteran readers took the bait! Gore's campaign launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign this week to tell his "life story." The ads will include references to his service" in Vietnam-however brief. Gore spent less than five months of a typical twelve-month tour in Vietnam. He spent every minute of his "tour" as a "rear-echelon...." (call any combat veteran and they can complete that phrase for you). He was classified as a military journalist after telling recruiters he was a newspaper trainee" (read "copy boy") for the New York Times while a student at Harvard. He was assigned as a noncombatant "information specialist" to the Army's 20th Engineers Brigade headquarters at Bien Hoa military base near Saigon. Gore's immediate supervisor in Vietnam has confirmed that his posting there came with explicit instructions to baby-sit him and make sure he was never in any danger. That fact notwithstanding, Gore has claimed to the Washington Post that he was "shot at" and "spent most of my time in the field." He later told the Baltimore Sun that "[I] pulled my turn on the perimeter at night and walked through the elephant grass and I was fired upon." He has since backed off these exaggerated claims. On May 22, 1971, not five months into his "tour of duty," Gore was given special dispensation and a one-way ticket home to attend divinity school in Nashville. He dropped out of Vanderbilt shortly thereafter. As for the seven months cut from Gore's tour of duty in Vietnam, we suppose "someone else in the small town of Carthage, Tennessee" had to finish his tour "in his place."

Gore's 141 REMF days
doesn't even compare
to the 5 years Bush
served in the Air.
 
 

Bush trained on and flew
F102 Fighter Jets
and, about his service,
Bush has no regrets.
 
 

Gore, on the other hand
because of weakness, mental
could only qualify
to pilot a pencil.
 
 

The document is on Air Force letterhead, dated 7 October 1968. ''The Secretary of the Air Force has directed me to inform you that, by direction of the President, you are tendered an indefinite term appointment as a Reserve officer of the Air Force.''

He trained until June 1970, then assumed reserve status in the Texas Air National Guard, flying F-102 fighters out of Ellington Air Force Base. George W. Bush was 23, a first lieutenant.
 
 

George W. Bush requested a discharge from the Texas Air National Guard on 5 Sept. 73 after serving for 3 years. After being granted an Honorable Discharge, he went to Harvard and completed a Masters in Business Administration.
 
 

Gore, on the other hand, served only 141 days and was able, as a Senator's Son, to get released from duty to attend and flunk Divinity school.

The Shrub is a guy who thinks he’s smart
But I know he’s a total dumb-dumb
Always talkin’ like he don’t think at all
And I know that he’s just a dumbass!

So (no)

I don’t want your nonsense (no)
I ain’t gonna vote for you (no)
I don’t need you in DC (no)
I want you outta my sight (no)

I don’t want no Shrub
The Shrub is a guy that I won’t support
Hanging out with his Poppy’s friends
Who tell him what to say
Trying to play his games on me
I don’t want no Shrub
The Shrub is a guy that I won’t support
Hanging out with his Poppy’s friends
Who always tell him what to say
Trying to play his games on me

But the Shrub is going down
And his mind is really weak
And I know that he cannot have me
Cuz I’m better than that and he’s looking like toast
Can’t vote for no idiot like that

So (no)

I don’t want your nonsense (no)
I ain’t gonna vote for you (no)
I don’t need you in DC (no)
I want you outta my sight (no)

You’re so dumb that you can’t talk
Oh yes Shrub, I’m talking to you
Without your Poppy by your side
Oh yes Shrub I’m talking to you
You totally suck up to your Poppy
Oh yes Shrub, I’m talking to you
And you’re such a Momma’s boy

No Shrub!

The Presidential Hillbillies

Come listen to the story of a guv named Jeb

A poor politician - helped his brother get ahead.

Every day George sez: I'm just another dude,

But up from the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, Black gold, Texas Tea.

Well of course you know old Jeb's a millionaire

His kinfolk said: Jeb get the vote out here.

They said Florida's the place you oughta be,

So they left Kennebunkport and moved to Tallahassee.

Butterfly ballots that is, missing boxes, police cars.

Young George moved in the W House and drank

He signed all new laws in the lobbies of the bank,

Lotsa folks objected, but the pres'dent found no fault,

'Cause Bush's campaign billions was a-layin' in the vault

Cash, that is! Capital gains, privatized SS money!

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jeb and all his kin

Al would like to thank you folks fer droppin' yer votes in.

You're all invited back to vote for this plutocracy,

T'have a heapin' helpin' of their hypocrisy.

Integrity, that is! Fry an inmate, Take your shoes off!

Y'all come back, here!

For a duck may be somebody's mother.

Where the weather is very very Dahmp.

Now you may think that this is the end;

Well it is."

Passed his test

Harvards test
The Bar in Boston
