On the front was a picture of Coleman & how good he would be for the city, yadda, yadda, yadda… On the back was a picture of a smiling Kelly with Bush. It was taken when Kelly announced he supported the war in Iraq & the way Bush was running the war.<br /> Kelly went down in flames.<br /> So, I repeat, all Dem mailings should contain the picture of the weepy, huggy, arms wrapped in his bff, McCain.</p> Sorry, forgot the punchline.

Kelly went down in flames.

Has anyone asked McMaverick if he has made any painful sacrifice, a la Great Leader giving up his golf game?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
cuz ones got a weasel and the others got a flag
Ones on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and its hangin from a pigeon wing
You cant write if you cant relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin on a termite
Who’s chokin on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
(get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
(drive-by body-pierce)
(yo bring it on down)
Soooooooyy….
(Im a driver, Im a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)
