While Powell and the FCC mandate this new deception, Please turn your TV's sound off until after the election. For Rove has found a way to make sure Bush gets reelected, And each communique won't leave his audience "perplected." Remember the success of silent stars like Buster Keaton, Whose lapses weren't collapses of the mind that need deletin'? Who wasn't forcing folks to hear their mother tongue get mangled In ways that made their brains think his might never be untangled? Rove's weapon will be captions to replace each garbled word, Which like as not aren't words at all, yet help him sound absurd. Jon Stewart and The Daily Show will need to hire lip readers To show how Bush translators have remained the same misleaders. They could still be nonsensical if Wolfie's the translator, Or merely be ambiguous if Cheney's the prevaricator. If they don't work, Rove's next move will be bonafide cartoons: "My name is uh-uh-uh George Bush and I approve of Looney Tunes." Bob Carlson |
