“WE OPEN WITH A SCENE DURING THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. AL GORE HITS HIS HEAD ON A LOCKBOX, LOSES CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THEN EXPERIENCES AN EIGHT-YEAR NIGHTMARE OF UNJUSTIFIED WAR, LAWLESSNESS, AND ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEVASTATION. HEY, IT WORKED IN DALLAS, AND THAT’S PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE THIS WHOLE FIASCO STARTED ANYWAY. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, A SIMPLE SHOWER WON’T WASH AWAY THE STENCH OF THIS ONE.”

“AS PART OF NBC’S SPECIAL PROMOTION, YOUR LOCAL RETAIL OUTLETS WILL BE GIVING OUT VOMIT BAGS, COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE.”

[Move over, Frank, here's the real Chairman of the Fraud.]

And now, the end is near;
And so I face, history’s verdict.
My friends, I exploited fear,
With an assist, from Mr. Turd Dick.

I’ve lived, a life that’s bull.
I went from drunk, to a more dry way;
But still, I acted high,
I did it … Lie Way.

Regrets, I’ll admit a few
But then again, too much to mention.
I did, what I had to do
Crimes under the, Geneva Convention.

I plunged ahead, without a course;
Each reckless step, along Baghdad’s highway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it … Lie Way.

Yes, EVERYtime, I’m sure you knew
Even a pretzel, I couldn’t chew.
But through it all, there was no doubt,
That I was just, an arrogant lout.
I had the gall, and came up small;
And did it Lie Way.

I’ve spun the truth, and stayed aloof
Both New Orleans, economy losing.
And now, the mess I leave,
I find it all, so damn amusing.

To think, I did all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
Oh No, oh no not me,
I did it … Lie Way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not WMD, then he gets caught.
To act just like, the Veep’s trained seal
With the devil, I made a deal
The record shows, I got exposed
And did it … Lie Way!
