Someone Said Something About Banality?

IT'S SO DARN CUTE when he pretends to be a good ole shucksy kinda loony!

Bush surprised cabinet secretaries, diplomatic officials and journalists at the annual Gridiron dinner by taking the stage and giving the first public singing performance of his eight-year presidency, which ends in January 2009.

To the tune of country song "Green Green Grass of Home," Bush sang of longing for his ranch in Crawford, Texas and his dog Barney.

"And there to meet me is my mama and my papa, down the lane I look and here comes Barney, heart of gold and breath like honey; it's good to touch the brown brown grass of home."

Bush, singing only slightly off key, then turned to some of the long-term members of his team including Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"For there's Condi and Dick, my old compadre, talking to me about some oil rich Saudi, but soon I'll touch the brown brown grass of home."

"That old White house is behind me, I am once again carefree, don't have to worry 'bout a crisis in Pyongyang. Down the lane I look, Dick Cheney is strolling with documents he'd been withholding, it's good to touch the brown brown grass of home."

Bush told the audience, which erupted in applause and gave him a standing ovation, that they had witnessed "the first and final performance of George Bush and the Busharoos."

—Bush yearns for Texas in rare singing performance

This "performance" sounds like a "Where Are Those WMDs Hidden?" redux. Act I meet Act III. Just add a few years, a stronger Euro, another thousand or two dead American troops, another 20- 50- 100, 000 dead Iraqis, a few busloads of uranium-riddled infants, a recession, and a few more white hairs for George and you're poppin'.

I don't deny that this new tune of his will, no doubt, be just as popular as Lennon and McCartney's Yesterday. I just wonder...when an Iraq or Afghanistan version of the song is created, will they change the lyrics to "the blood-black streets of home"? Will the New Orleans version perhaps use "the Rank, Septic, Flooded Streets of (What Once Was Our) Home"? Maybe Bush could put on a special outfit and do a little dance on Mardi Gras. I'll shout "SHOW ME YOUR SOUL!" and force him to bow out because there's more jiggling around under his shirt than there is in his conscience box.

Anyway. Titling that piece "Bush Yearns for Texas in Rare Singing Performance" sounds a bit surreal and grand, when probably a better title would be "Bush Displays Inevitable Side Effects of A Presidency Maintained and Informed by Pure Inhalation of Dog Breath."
