A tasteless tribute to Buddy Ebsen, who died on Sunday:

Now let me tell a story ‘bout a man named Jeb
A rich family guv’ner couldn’t keep his girl off meds
But then one day while disenfranchising blacks
He got an urgent call from Republican hacks

Karl that is…bad man…Dubya’s brain

Well the first thing you know old Jeb is on the phone
Calling Katherine Harris (whom we think he used to bone)
He says “Hey Kathy, can you do this thing for me?
See brother must have Florida to get the pres’dency!"

Hanging chads…no recounts

So Katherine did her best to muddle up the way
Told all the recounters that "the deadline's yesterday"
So Bush the usurper triumphed from insanity
And posed a mortal threat to all humanity.

Thanks Jeb...Thanks a lot.

[Sorry, Buddy. Hope you've got a nice seat by the great ceeement pond in the sky.]
