Fishstick's Journal: Eric Idle's FCC song (w/ special message to Veep)

This is probably not new, but I stumbled across it for the first time yesterday while googling for news about the VP's little outburst on the Senate floor. Seems strangely appropriate.

Reminded me of the story during the last election when Dick and Bush forgot the mic was on and called a reporter a "major-league asshole", if memory serves.

Now, I'm of the opinion that it doesn't really matter if the pres and VP use profanity towards the press and political rivals, and that it seems silly to focus any time on that issue when there are so many other glaring deficiencies that can be the subject of cable news shows and editorials. I just find it all entertaining.

Anyway, here's the lyrics from Eric's delightful little ditty...

Here's a little number I wrote the other day while out duck hunting with a judge, QUACK

Fuck you very much the FCC
Fuck you very much for fining me
Five thousand bucks a fuck so I'm really out of luck
Thats more than Heidi Fliess was charging me.
So fuck you very much the FCC
For proving that free speech just isn't free
Clear Channel's a dear channel
so Howard Stern must go
Attorney General Ashcroft doesn't like strong words and so
He's charging twice as much as all the drugs for Rush Limbo
so Fuck you all so very much

So fuck you very much dear Mr. Bush
for heroically sitting on your tush
For Halliburton, Enron, all the companies who fail
Lets send them a clear signal and stick Martha straight in jail
She's an uppity rich bitch, but at least she isn't male
So fuck you all so very much

So fuck you dickhead Mr. Cheney too.
Fuck you and fuck everything you do.
Your pace maker must be fake
You haven't got a heart
As far as I'm concerned your just a pasty faced old fart
And as for Condolezza she an intellectual tart
So fuck you all so very much

So fuck you very much the EPA
For giving all Alaska's oil away
It really is a bummer
When I can't fill my Hummer
The ozone a no go zone now that Arnold's here to say
The nuclear winter games are going to take place in LA
So fuck you all so very much

So what the planet fails
Lets save the great white males
And fuck you all so very much

QUACK

That is just too funny

[tomhudson]

We had an incident up here when Pierre Trudeau was prime minister, and in the House of Commons told MP John Lundigran to "Fuck off".

Of course, this would normally get you tossed out of parliament, but Trudeau brazened it out. Claimed he had said "Fuddle-duddle". Soon kids were wearing T-shirts with "fuddle-duddle" to school, and there was nothing the teachers could do. See the cbc archives [archives.cbc.ca] or this link [fuddle-duddle.com] for more.

thanks for the chuckle...

I'm particulary ashamed of myself for finding this one funny:

"I need this parade like I need a fucking hole in my head."

more googling turned up editorial [morons.org] which pretty much summs up my take on this:

So it's not so much that the man said "go fuck yourself" to a Senator. It's that Cheney's party and the Bush/Cheney administration try to present themselves as the righteous keepers of piety when in reality, they're no better than anybody else.

I'd like to see them trying to hang CSPAN if there had been a mic anywhere nearby....
