IBP will be presenting various viewpoints from guest bloggers in the coming weeks as the election progresses. We were pleasantly surprised to be contacted by Shep Martin, famed political satirist of the '60's and '70's. Shep's jokes and satirical songs were famed for taking the pulse of the American body politic, until the tide of public opinion turned against his "type" of humor. Shep performed at the piano every Thursday night for eighteen years in the lobby of the old Adams-Monroe Hotel in Washington, D.C., until it was condemned upon the discovery of rats in the Hotel's kitchen. When notified of the condition, Shep memorably quipped, "Rats? What happened, is the Capital Building sinking?"
Today, he gifts this site with the lyrics of his latest satirical song, which is sung to the tune of "Ebony and Ivory". Please click the link below for audio:
Happily,
Senator John Kerry
Chose Obama instead of Hillary.
He's a jinx,
Might just cost votes,
Swift boats,
What an ass!
(Repeat refrain)
