MSM Mirage -- Tim Russert Eyes

Tim Russert Eyes
His hair's mousey brown
His lips dissemble facts
Our hands tremble with surprise
You can never tell
When he'll distort truth in a trice
You'll have to fact-check him twice
He's as pure as Jayson Blair lies
He's a Democratic shill
He's got Tim Russert eyes
And he'll tease you
With Presidential Daily Briefings to please you
You Blue-Staters
You Bush-Haters
And he knows just what it
Takes to make Jay Rockefeller blush
To ask him why he voted
For the war in Iraq
Jay's in deep doo because unlike who
Ted Kennedy
He isn't a lush
He's got Tim Russert Eyes
He'll expose you
When he snows you
With a blanket of pre-edited videos
He's ferocious
And he knows just what it
Takes to make Jay Rockefeller blush
Here's hoping
We're not coping
With Google in an Instalanche rush
All the boys think Plame's a spy
But since you don't go to
The Beltway
Party circuit
You don't really count as their kind of guys
You would though
If you could though
Just have a little of Tim Russert's eyes
My royalty cheque's in the post, Kim.
UPDATE: Tim Russert has passed away, and appropriately, I am reminded of this old post -- and you can imagine my embarrassment. My most recent blogpost hopefully is more gracious.

Loved your version Victoria! I think a podcast of you singing it would be a wonderful addition! ;}

oooooo, look it's the Tom and Katie of the Beltway!

Loved your version Victoria
I have a press release all typed up just in case Kim Carnes or Tim Russert sue.
"The author of the Sundries blog is expressing her First Amendment Right to make fun of (strike over) sample bad 80's songs."
I think a podcast of you singing it would be a wonderful addition! ;}
Don't you start, meester!
I am not singing on this blog. I have no ear for music.
Lapdancing, however, is another story.
Cheers,
Victoria

Oh God...I wipe tears of laughter still after reading this.
Tim Russert and wifey, making nice with the other power-couples. Look, isn't that Christiane Amanpour and Jamie Rubin schmoozing with Andrea Mitchell and her main squeeze, Greenspan?
Oh, and did you click on the link about the Beltway Party Circuit?
It's from a Flyfishing Forum (can you believe that) who were commenting on the Plame/Wilson hommage on Vanity Fair, complete with dazzlingly dolce vita photo of them in their convertible.
The responses gave me a belly ache. When asked who they looked like, the posters replied variously:
They look like wealthy Republicans"
John Hurt and Lisa Kudrow?
Stop! My stomach hurts.

I'd have to smoke Andree Putman sized Galoises to make me sound remotely like Kim Carnes basso-falsetto.
How about some Black Russians and a quick chorus of Karma-chameleon?

Victoria

Again, Jose inspires! I will find the blog of The Singing LapDancer, or, Henry Higgins-like I will teach her to both sing and blog!
hmmm...maybe not! You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think!

Did you know there's a site where you can pay to have Boy George send a video post card to whomever to tell them you're gay? Personally, I liked the one where Mr. T wishes you happy birthday...

...schmoozing with Andrea Mitchell and her main squeeze, Greenspan?
Honestly, is there anything left of Greenspan to squeeze? Isn't he as wrung out as a chamois at a carwash? Not that Andrea Mitchell will be my Singing LapBlogger, but cheez, she should be able to find someone who started their careers after the Hoover Administration!

Very nice adaptation.
As much as it hurt, I shrunk the iconic image. Just for you, darling. :)

Just because I lapdance doesn't mean I'm a whoor! I call myself a performance artiste.

It was a quickie too. Took me under 30 minutes to write up (minus the research about the photo and lyrics).
Glad you liked it. :)
