washed up country star rescues poor bankers

My good buddy in England alerts me to the fact that Hank Williams Jr. has recorded a song for the McCain/Palin ticket. It's to the tune of "Family Tradition" and contains this little nugget:

The democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Like 1-2-3
The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans
Bill Clinton said "you got to!"
Now they wanna bail out

I just heard his daddy turn over in his grave.

"The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans." I don't care what your politics are, that's the single dumbest thing I've heard since this mess began, and that's saying something. I would hope the stupidity of that line would turn off even the most fervent wingnuts. Maybe someone should remind Jr. that populists don't like the fatcats.

You can read the whole thing here if you must.
