My coworker forwarded this to me and I just had to share!

THE NIGHT THEY TOOK OLD CHENEY DOWN
Scooter Libby’s the name and I helped them to out Ms. Plame
‘Til Fitzgerald’s indictments came and with it a lot of the blame
By November of twenty ’05
Our polls sucked that ain’t no jive
By next spring it all goes to hell
It was a time I was on crutches ’cause I just fell
CHORUS
The night they took old Cheney down
And the GOP hands were wringing
The night they took old Cheney down
And the Democrats were singing, they went
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la
Mr. Cheney came before me and said I want the Iraqi land
And like Mr. Bush above me he had no post-war plan
We couldn’t find Osama in his cave
More than 2000 young men have gone to their grave
It now seems the insurgents can’t be beat
You can’t raise your polls up when you’re in defeat
Chorus
Back with my lawyer in DC when one day he called to me
Scooter, act quick, you’ve got to cop a plea
Now I don’t mind moppin floors
And don’t care if it’s behind iron-gated doors
We took a big chance and flunked the test
Soon they’re gonna get Karl Rove and the rest
Chorus
