IF I WERE A MITCH MAN
Remember this song from “Fiddler On The Roof?” —
I bring this up because IF I WERE A RICH MAN made me think of U.S. Senate Majority Leader MITCH McConnell and wonder if there’s a satirical song substituting the word “Mitch” for “Rich” in the song title? So I did a Google, and though the search for IF I WERE A MITCH MAN led nowhere, I did find this:
Sorry about that. There must be a better song (or at least, a less depressing one) with a politician’s name in the title. In fact, I happen to know of a few such songs, and if I were a pitch man, here’s one I could plug to lead you out of Mitch depression:
Remember that, as FDR said, we have nothing to fear but fear itself (except, of course, the fear that The Donald could be re-elected). Hence I elect to sing the praises of my candidate to oppose Trump….
Yes, The Donald will soon find that he has met his match, man. The Wintergreen of his discontent fast approaches. Eat your hearts(?) out, Donald and Mitch man.

Lol I think that the Donald man is with us at the moment (unless he sneaked back to the U.S. without me noticing! He wants to take over our National Health Service by all accounts. Oh well…..it can’t be much worse than it is already!

Believe me, just when you think it can’t get worse, The Donald finds a way. He’s a bottomless pit of the pits.

I don’t know about a sliding majority, Kate, but I grant you that he’s as slippery as they come. There hasn’t been a single day of his Presidency when his approval rating has reached 50%, but he won the Presidency with less than 50% of the vote, so it’s possible he could pull it off again.

Mitch is sitting at 19% popularity in Kentucky, Sr. Muse. With any luck they’ll both be gone by 2021.

With any luck AND an honest election, they’ll both be gone….but Trump wouldn’t have won the White House in 2016 in the first place with an honest election. As for Mitch, who would’ve believed he’d become so unpopular in his own state since Trump became Pres? Kentucky’s Republican governor is unpopular too, so hopefully the Bluegrass state has turned from red to blue politically.

He’s “one sorry President” alright, but we need more Trump voters to be sorry they elected him.

Love this post. So far the only accolade that the Donald has not yet given himself is the “Most Humble.” Still waiting for that bit of self-aggrandizement.

How this clown could con so many millions into voting for him would be unbelievable if history didn’t prove time and again how easily gullible people can be led to follow any pied piper who can con-vince them he’s their savior.

Trump and anyone who likes or supports him are bottom dwellers. They are enemies of democracy.

To call them “bottom dwellers” and “enemies of democracy” may be either over the top, or giving them too much credit, depending on your point of view. I think many of them (other than Trump & his ‘partners in crime’) are just plain ignorant.

They’re ignorant for sure. Which makes them potentially dangerous too.

I especially loved the animation of Mitch as a running turtle. That is faster than he has ever moved in real life.

No doubt that’s the closest Mitch ever came to coming out of his sanctimonious shell.

You need to search out a song about hypocrisy because that man takes top honors in that department. What a horrible person.

Since Trump became Pres, Mitch & friends no longer even bother to try to deny their hypocrisy — they bask in it. Hopefully he and The Donald will go down in flames in the 2020 election, and then maybe he’ll realize….

I hope the stench from his visit to your country has worn off by now. Unfortunately, he wasn’t gone long enough from the US for the stench to wear off here.

I hear you, SS….and because of your comment, I will start to work on publishing a June 15 (the date of her death in 1996) remembrance of her passing (including a few more songs you probably haven’t heard before). Thanks for the ‘inspiration’ for my next post!
