Yankee Fans And McPalin Surrogates
Frightening similarities

Overbearing, illinformed,
    and just can't face the facts
That the gods they worship
    are deserving of the axe.

Heroes who should never lose?
    Who couldn't drop a fly.
Hackneyed politicians who
    would never, ever lie?

We think we hate the Yankees
    but it's Yankee fans we hate.
We think we hate McPalin
    when we hate their surrogate.

We love to watch the Yankees lose
    and hear fans moan and groan
That A-Rod lost his mojo
    when Madonna didn't phone.

Why blame Derek Jeter's knees
    when it is Fenway's grass
That causes him to drop pop flies
    and end up on his ass.

Mac's stupid pick of Palin?
    Cause enough to celebrate,
But we also have a choice
    of which surrogate to hate.

For watching Michele Bachmann
    as she seconds Joe, The Plumber,
Demonstrates for all to see:
    Obama is the up-and-comer.

Who'd you prefer as surrogate?
    Colin Powell or Michele?
Who's more patriotic?
    Who should go to Hell?
