The whole thing seems right out of a Monty Python sketch to me. Republicans forcing through a gerrymandering, Democrats walking out. I found myself humming "The Lumberjack Song" while pricing books at work, and suddenly words starting popping into my head...
with apologies to Monty Python
TEXAS DEMOCRAT:
Oh, I'm a Democrat and I'm Ok!
I make up laws for my state all day!
CHORUS:
He's a Democrat and he's OK,
He makes up laws for his state all day!
TEXAS DEMOCRAT:
I use big words, I make phone calls,
I kiss some dumb babies!
I take the lob'yists' money
And go on spending sprees
CHORUS:
He uses big words, he makes phone calls,
He kisses dumb babies
He takes the lob'yists' money
And goes on spending sprees
He's a Democrat and he's OK,
He makes up laws for his state all day!
TEXAS DEMOCRAT:
I hate to lose, so now I've run
the Rangers on my tail
If I go back to Texas
They'll haul my butt to jail!
CHORUS:
He hates to lose, and so he's run
the Rangers on his tail
If he comes back to Texas
We'll throw his butt in jail!
He's a Democrat and he's okaaaaaayyyy,
Even though he's run away!
Thank yew, thank yew... no, I won't quit my day job.
