Take the Tour 0
Mangy composes a theme song for the Republican Party. From the web page:
The Republican cries of “how dare the Democrats accuse us of aiding in the preparation for an insurrection” seem pretty pathetic once you’ve viewed the security video of Representative Barry Loudermilk leading MAGATs on his fascinating photo excursion of the bowels of The Capitol. Sure, everybody that goes to DC for the first time says, “The one thing I hope to get to see is not the rotunda, not the statues of past statesmen, but more than anything, the basement corridors, stairways and security checkpoints. They are reportedly among the most beautiful in the world!” I’m sure the one creep that took the tour, then posted things like “Nancy Pelosi, we’re comin’ for you!” probably only meant that he was anxious to meet her and have her sign his autograph book. Nice try Barry. Having grown up on a diary farm, Mangy Fetlocks knows BS when he sees it, so he just HAD to write a little song so Loudermilk’s particular line of BS could at least be set to music.
