From the “Call Me, Harold ” ad in Tennessee, to the attack on Jim Webb’s fiction about sex with Vietnamese, to the phony sex-call ad in upstate New York¬†(“Check that number, please”), the GOP is getting more panicky than a guy who runs out of Viagra at the Bunny Ranch.

As the desperate GOP changes its tactics from ads that “race-bait,” to those that help you masturbate, we think the Classic Pink Floyd song, Young Lust (better known as the I Need A Dirty Woman song), perhaps best captures the spirit of the 2006 Republican campaign:

I just need a new ploy
Since my polls are down
Claim the Democrat committed sex crimes
Then he really will “go down”

Ooooo I need a dirty ad spot
Ooooo I need a dirty commercial

Will Rove and Mehlman with the limp hand
Make me feel like a real man?
The only way that I can prevail
Say the Dem called 1-900-SHE-MALE

Ooooo I need a dirty ad spot
Ooooo I need a dirty commercial

Ooooo I need a dirty ad spot
Ooooo I need a dirty commercial

(Phone Ringing)
[Voter:] “Hello?”
[Operator:] “Yes, a collect call fom the RNC.
Will you accept the charges from Ken Mehlman?”
(Phone is Hung Up)
[Operator] “He hung up.”
[Mehlman] “I wonder why he hung up;
“he must be sleeping with a Democrat.”
(Phone Ringing)
[Voter:] “Hello?”
[Operator:] “This is the RNC calling again.”
[Mehlman] “Are we reaching around?”
[Voter:] “F Off! (Phone is Hung Up)
[Operator] “It’s a man answering, but he keeps hanging up.”
[Mehlman] “Try again, I like his dirty talk.”
