| Parody Song Title: | "Harriet" |
| Parody Written by: | John A. Barry |
Hey, Harriet,
Lame Harriet.
You're just like the fool whose brain's so simple.
He plays at president; you're a pretend jurist.
Both of you of you have got unalloyed defects--
Many infractions and many screwups
Hey, Harriet, you're so lame; now why don't you go away.
Lame Harriet, have you no shame? Why don't you go away.
Your buddy is "special" and has such needs,
Always dependent on several satans.
You have got neither charm nor paper trail,
And like your buddy's, your head is vacant.
Hey, Harriet, you're so lame; now why don't you go away.
Lame Harriet, have you no shame. Why don't you go away.
You're so, so like a nonentity
(So like a nonentity)
No, no credentials one can see
(Credentials one can see)
High court's no place for on-the-job learning;
Your feeble mind would need quite a teacher.
When the session's over in committee,
One hopes the members will have been saying:
Hey, Harriet, you were so lame, so now please go away
Lame Harriet, we can't confirm such a lamebrain, no way!
Harriet, you're just a marionette, so get!

good good job, John Barry, and now that you've gotten your confidence up with this parody, let's see if you can manage to submit TWO for tomorrow, or would that be moving a little too fast for you? ;-) - 555
Thanks, Stuart, Two I think I can do, but a respite is soon due.
Bravo JB, been wondering how long it would be before someone did a parody about Bush's nomination for the Supreme Court? She needs to bow out of this farce quickly. We don't need another "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job" crony.
Brilliant. 5's
I was just thinking (always a risky proposition) about an old episode of "All In the Family," where the Bunkers and Stivics are watching TV, and Nixon comes on, and Mike (Rob Reiner) says, "He's probably announcing that he's appointing his pal Bebe Rebozo to the Supreme Court!" That was in 1973, as Watergate was beginning to swirl around. Now it's 2005, and Bush has appointed his pal Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. I think Rebozo may have been more qualified.
Good day, Mr. Barry. In case you have enough courage to do so, you can proceed to your John Drake/Patrick McGoohan parody page, where I have completed my analysis and advice for you. God be with you. If you can't find it, let me know. (L)
Thanks, Lionel, Michael--whatever happened to good old Bebe? Lurker, you're as Delphic as you are anonymous.
The "so like a non-entity" section is priceless! 555
bullseye...5s
Survived Watergate without being charged, and died in '98 at age 85.
Case closed, you are sentenced to post even more excellent parodies on AmiRight!
sorry Luker/Linda... you're pal Harriet dumped out. Good distraction by the Bushies, she does it on the same day the indictments are expected. Amazing how they plan that huh?
