Without Bush (Political Parody)
So, anyhoo, I'm a fan of writing parodies, and I was listening to the old classic "Without Me" by Eminem the other day, when I thought...hmmm, what about "Without Bush?" Wouldn't that be nice? That eventually snowballed into a full-on parody of the whole song. So I post below, for your approval/disapproval, my parody of Eminem's "Without Me."

"Without Bush"

Guess who'll run?
Run again?
Bush will run.
Incumbent.
Guess who'll run?
Guess who'll run?
It's the son
Of Bush One
He's not done
Having fun
Thinks he's won
Brain's undone
Da-na-na

It's time for some hijinks
Cuz everyone thinks that I'm evil and dumb
But I'm not, I'm a nice guy!
All I did was tell a minuscule white lie
I only let a few thousand good folks die
But now everybody's complainin' and sayin'
That I've got half a brain and I misled the nation.
Hey, don't blame me for deficit inflation
I can't tell a budget from a list of radio stations
I know I lied for my own aspirations
But I thought it was okay because I'm Caucasian.
Now the EPA went straight away
Got cut to pay more for red states
They tried to stop my drilling in the bay
But now I'm killing ten species every day!
So c'mon, push, but only for Bush
Fuck John! Kerry/Edwards can kiss my tush
So get ready, my attack ads are about to get heavy
And Paid Actors for Truth says "Fuck you, Kerry!"

Now I've failed the country miserably
And everybody's just sick of me
Most people will vote for John Kerry
Because we'd have more freedoms without me!
Yes, Osama bin Laden's free
And I'm only compassionate about me
I hope I'm not the victim of a parody
Because we'd have more allies without me!

Neoconmen.
Ashcroft censoring comments
But only if it's got anti-W content
Now you see why you have to explain what that call meant
When you said "Hey, Bob, is '1984' on yet?"
I'm visionary, but my vision is scary,
Make everyone a Christian and kill off gay marriage
A gavel! So let me revel and bask
In the fact that half the Justices are kissing my ass
And what disaster? I'll use catastrophes.
I'll make up ties with Iraq and attack with speed.
I'll cut tax, da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Fix election centers, save Enron from corporate scandals
Now enter spin! Here comes a saint from a sinner,
The center of attention, and FOX's big winner
I'm undermining, Terror-Level assigning,
Dividing, And the wealthy's pockets I'm lining
Whining from liberals? Please.
I'll attack with Repubs like Hannity
You really think I needed WMDs?
A reason for seizin' oil overseas.

I'm the worst president in history
And I'll probably start World War III
Most people will vote for John Kerry
Because we'd have more freedoms without me!
No, Americans don't need privacy
Women's rights pushed back a century
People think I'm leading terribly
Because we'd have more allies without me!

A "Mission Accomplished"
Is like "Electric Amish"
It's full of crap, and it sounds pretty pompous
No Osamas...don't be a doubting Thomas
We'll catch him in four years in the Bahamas.
And Saddam? I'm glad we finally got him.
We saw his oil and all the old weapons we bought him.
So we fought him, in no time we let fly
It's over (except for all the soldiers that still die)
That's right, down in Abu Ghriab there were tortures
And everyone's sayin' that I gave the orders
But I only ordered just a few of the man-piles
For a program I'm recordin' called "Prisoners Gone Wild"
But sometimes the shit just seems
Like everybody only wants to discuss me
And my records in the military
But they were lost accidentally (Yeah!)
While not the first king to rule a country,
I am our first since Britain's monarchy
I took tax money so selfishly
And used it to get myself wealthy
Hey! There's a concept that works!
A dozen other hypocritical jerks emerge
But no matter how many Repubs there may be
They would be powerless without me!

Now, I'm the puppet of Dick Cheney
He's the leader even though he's just VP
But still I'm quite necessary
Cuz there would be more tolerance without me!
Yeah, I've totally sunk the economy
But we've got Homeland Security
Special thanks to Rumsfeld and Condi
Though the world would be better without me!
