From Stumper:
Judging by the polls, Sarah Palin may not propel John McCain to the presidency. But at least she'll make the path to Election Day a little more melodious.
At Palin's rally yesterday in Richmond, Va., the loudest applause was reserved not for the Mooseburger Queen of Wasilla but for her special guest, Hank Williams, Jr., who performed a new, pro-McCain rendition of his late-1970s hit "Family Tradition." "The left-wing liberal media have always been a real close knit family," he sang, somewhat redundantly. "But most of the American people don't believe 'em anyway, you see." Later verses blamed Democrats for "bankrupt[ing] Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac"; accused Bill Clinton of forcing "bankers" who "didn't want to make all those bad loans" of doing just that; and praised Palin for "protecting your family's condition" like a "mama bear in Idaho" protecting her "cubs." History? Hardly. Poetry? Not quite (sadly, the lilting, lonesome line "I have loved some ladies/and I have loved Jim Beam" was inexplicably AWOL). But certainly entertaining--even if Stumper greatly prefers Hanks I and III to Bocephus.
