A just-completed poll found that three out of four Americans are glad that George W. Bush is finally leaving office. If Woody Guthrie were writing a song to herald his departure, it might go like this…
So long,
By now we all know you.
So long,
The door we’ll now show you.
So long,
In Crawford we’ll stow you.
And not see your like soon again.
You started a war that nobody needed,
For us ’round the world, disrespect you have seeded,
The planet’s good health you were quick to ignore,
And left the economy flat on the floor.
So it’s so long,
By now we all know you.
So long,
The door we’ll now show you.
So long,
In Crawford we’ll stow you.
And not see your like soon again.
(We hope!)

You can't tell me Woody would forget Katrina:
You watched from above as you countrymen drowned,
Let the Gulf South molder as you only thought of the soldier
You tried to kill your countrymen with neglect and abuse
Now we celebrate your exit., we escaped your tried noose.
Here's another farewell Bush parody I found buried in the several hundred comments that were made in the NYTimes in response to a column on “Barack the Magic Negro'”
Those Republicans who found “Barack the Magic Negro” funny, will find this one hilarious. It was written by a

BUSH THE FECKLESS CONMAN BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE GOP
(to the melody of Barack the Magic Negro or Puff the Magic Dragon)

Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP
Frolicked with the hypocrites of the grand old party of dishonesty,
Little Dicky Cheney loved that rascal Bush,
And brought him water boards, illegal wire taps and other fancy stuff. oh
Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP
Frolicked with the hypocrites of the grand old party of dishonesty
Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP
Frolicked with the hypocrites of the grand old party of dishonesty
Together they would travel on a Presidential yacht filled with felons, child molesters, liars and corrupt political appointees.
Dickie kept a lookout while Dubya huffed and puffed and failed his own country,
Hastert, Delay, Foley, Craig, Vitter, Gonzalez, Libby, Stevens, Brownie, Rummy the list’s too long to explain,
Somali pirate ships should all lower their flags to honor the Republican hall of shame. oh!
Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP

Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP

A dragon lives forever but not so the two faced, lying and corrupt
West wings and campaign finance rings make way for boy toys behind bars.
One grey night it happened, Barack came knocking on the White House door
And Bush that cagey conman, ceased his feckless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, the neocons cried in pain,
Dickie could no longer play along the Camp David lane.
Outside the oval office, Dubya could not be brave,
So Bush that feckless conman sadly slipped into his Crawford cave. oh!
Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP
Frolicked with the hypocrites of the grand old party of dishonesty
Bush, the feckless conman brought to you by the GOP
Frolicked with the hypocrites of the grand old party of dishonesty

I don't find either song funny, but since the issue was raised, what about those who condemned Obama song but not this one ?

You keep saying troops will soon be withdrawin.
Just like you said something about finding WMD, but confess.
You've been messin' too long in IRAQ where you shouldn't be a messin'
and now everyone is gettin' shafted in the mother of a sorry mess.
These shoes are made for throwin, and that's just what I'll do
one of these days these Vibram Mocs are gonna get thrown right at you!
You keep lying, when you oughta be a truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
These shoes are made for throwin, and that's just what I'll do
one of these days these Vibram Mocs are gonna get thrown right at you!
You keep playin' Commander where you shouldn't be playin
and you keep thinkin' that your sorry legacy will never get burnt.
Ha! I just found me a brand new box of Timberlanders yeah
and what I know you ain't HAD time to learn.
These shoes are made for throwin, and that's just what I'll do
one of these days these Vibram Mocs are gonna get thrown right at you!
Are you ready shoes? Start flyin'!

Sing Along With the Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqsauoDmgDo
Beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-ree-pa-DUMB…….
[Chorus]
I'm nut, I'm a nut
My Presidential legacy don't amount to much, whoopa-whoopa-whoopa-whoopa
The head on my shoulders is sorta loose
And I ain't got the sense God gave a moose
Lord, I ain't crazy, but …I'm the First Nut
Is is wetter under in the Potomac, if you're in it when it rains?
Is it shorter to Camp David, than it is by a plane?
Between myself and I, I wonder who's the dumber
Is it hotter down in Crawford, than it is in the summer?
[Chorus]
I drove my Cadillac to Wall Street to satisfy my lust
Wheelin', dealin', left ol' Wall Street on a Greyhound bus
I should'nt have set the markets on fire while I was there
But remember only forest fires prevent Bears
[Chorus]
The poverty war was almost over, until I began to fight
If it took a dime to go 'round the world
I'd cut taxes out of sight
I don't mind to take the Bankers out
If they don't mind to go Dutch
Makes me feel like 700 Billion Bailout Dollars
And I bet the Treasury ain't worth half that much
[Chorus]
Oh, crazy man! I'm a nut!
Oh, Lordy, Lordy Lordy, Lordy
I'm crazy, I'm the First Nut!
