A CHANGE IN COURSE

                                  
We at the Faux News Network are now
able to tap into

                            
Karl Rove’s diary; we can’t
tell you how this is done – so don’t ask.

 

FROM THE TV SHOW “MISTER ED”

MISTER ED THEME

A horse is a horse, of course, of course

And no one can talk
to a horse of course

That is, of course,
unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed

 

Go right to the source and ask the horse

He’ll give you the
answer that you’ll endorse

He’s always on a
steady course

Talk to Mr. Ed

FROM THE DIARY OF KARL ROVE

THE SPRING OF 2005

            The 50’s
were a great time, TV especially, it was all in black and white but then the
colored came in.  We’re back, we’ve got
implanted journalists, paid media, sympathetic pundits, and we won the election
not because of what our beliefs were, but because of how we were so decisive
about them.  Nothing, not facts or
funerals give us pause, we’re never wrong or sorry, and they’ve all listened to
me; I gave it to them straight from the horse’s mouth, from me The Karl (his
last conscious thought as he drifts off watching the TV Land channel). (To the
tune of “Mister Ed”)

 

A course is a course of course of course

Our Titanic leaders
will stay the course

Even when a source, a
reliable source

Gives conflicting
facts instead

 

 

Our course is our course but we need recourse

Against any dissent
from a factual source

So to stay the course
with our views enforced

We’ll need right wing
talking heads

 

Remorse is no course of course of course

And if shortages of
armor endanger our force

We won’t speak of
that, that’s disloyal discourse

Say our famous
talking heads

 

Recourse is a course we can’t endorse

On WMD’s and the
terrorist force

No matter the
failures of our own source

Keep folks in a fright
that’s our best resource

And it kept those
swing states red

 

THE PRESENT

 

            The Karl
awakes startled – this darned commission, now we’ve got to change course – and
he drifts off again.

 

A course is a course unless of course

The latest spin means
we must change the course

But it’s not “cut and
run” when we’re the source

As Tony Snow has said

 

A sharp change in course won’t mean discourse

Cause we’ll make sure

We’re still the
source

And that’s how the
country’s led

 

And that’s our main course

Not protecting our force

To remember that fear
is our primary source

 

Cause . . . scared
folks . . . are easily . . . led
