Right Brothers


Did you know there was more good news in Iraq than bad news? I didn’t either although I’ve been hearing that line from the mental midgets on the Right since the war started. Usually the “evidence” will be some article in the New York Post or Washington Times by someone who wrote it in a hotel lobby as dictated by some Government official, but I stumbled into a website called RightMarch.com that has that same astonishing message – it’s a renaissance in Baghdad, everyone is happy, the sun is shining and the schools are full of laughing children rejoicing in their freedom. One wonders if somewhere Max Bialystock waits in the wings for this production to flop.

But wait – there’s more. It’s a musical. The web site tells us: “The youth in America are being LIED to by liberal politicians and the mainstream media... but we've come up with a GREAT way to get the TRUTH to them: MUSIC. The Right Brothers, a conservative music duo out of Nashville, has released a new song that does what needed to be done: it tells the TRUTH. Titled Bush Was Right, the song hits the listener with fact after fact after fact - but the tune is so catchy, and the music is so driving, you can't help but sing along (especially on the chorus)!”

Of course the catchy chorus is the chant “Bush was right” over and over again in some mindless ostinato like savage drums in some prehistoric night, but you can read the lyrics yourself. You won’t believe it if I quote it here.

We're launching a NATIONWIDE ad campaign, to spread the TRUTH about Iraq. We're going to run FULL-PAGE ads in national newspapers and magazines, and radio ads across America, to get the word out: there's more GOOD news in Iraq than bad news, and the cause our soldiers are fighting for is NOBLE and JUST. Will you help us get the word out?

So that’s what I’m doing – here’s the word – read it and laugh. It’s full of the most salacious, moronic sleaze and slime you’ve ever seen and if it doesn’t make you ashamed to belong to our species, you must be a Republican.

Hmmm, these young men should join the Army and help out in Iraq. Then when they come home, they can tell us how many schools they actually built. Or at the very least, tour Iraq to build troop morale.

It says too much about your character that you can consume such toxic fare! You must have a cast-iron stomach!

Is this some form of self flagilation?

You read the right so I don't have to?

Much obliged!

I'm sure the Right Brothers would have trouble passing the Army's modest intelligence requirements.

But yes, I read this stuff so you don't have to. It's purely a public service.

Catchy tune. It's already in my iPod. Sounds like a rip off of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." It actually sounds like something from the Daily Show. What farce.

But the Farce has a dark side. May the Farce be with you.
