Bush WAS Right--Dammit!!

It seems that according to ThinkProgress, an ultraconservative group called Rightmarch.com has taken it upon itself to get the song "Bush Was Right", by The Right Brothers, a conservative musical group, onto the MTV airwaves.

Here's a sample of the lyrics:

Freedom in Afghanistan, say goodbye Taliban
Free elections in Iraq, Saddam Hussein locked up
Osama’s staying underground, Al Qaida now is finding out
America won’t turn and run once the fighting has begun

Don’t you know that all this means…
Bush was right! Bush was right!


I swear to Christ I'm not making this shit up!

Seriously. Here's the link to the audio clip.

Look out Arlo Guthrie! Here come The Right Brothers!

At any rate, Rightmarch wants the future video of this song to be played on MTV's Total Request Live. And, if it isn't, it's apparently a case of censorship on MTV's part. That's right--the video doesn't even EXIST yet, and already MTV failing to show it is censorship. It couldn't possibly be that the song sucks more than a cheerleader at a frat house kegger!

It's getting harder and harder to make fun of the wingnuts when they seem to be doing such a good job all by themselves.

Speaking of the video, it appears that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has supplied his own video for the audio snippet of the song that's been released. Crooks and Liars has the video here.

(Y'know, I'm starting to become more and more a fan of Keith Olbermann. But does anyone else besides me think he may be taking a few pointers from Jon Stewart?!)
