Come on everybody, we’re gonna play a game. The name of the game is “The Hate and Blame Game.” It’s based on the old song “The Name Game.”

Ready? Let’s go!

OPEC … Opec, opec po popec, banana fana fo fopec, me mi mo mopec … OPEC

Liberals … Liberals, liberals, po piberals, banana fana fo fiberals, me mi mo miberals … liberals

Congress … Congress, congress, po pongress, banana fana fo fongress, me mi mo mongress … congress

Bush … Bush, Bush, po push, banana fana fo fush, me mi mo mush … Bush

Oh, we could go on and on, couldn’t we? The important thing is that we play the game, and make sure nothing gets done while we’re doing it.

Just for the record, I agree that we should give oil companies the right to drill offshore, because they will lower the price of oil – just because it’s the right thing to do. Just like they lowered the price of oil when they made their $19 billion dollar profits. They do so care about us! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Let’s sing!

Exxon … Exxon, Exxon, po pexxon, banana fana fo fexxon, me mi mo mexxon … Exxon

This is so much fun!

So sing “The Hate and Blame Game!” It’s the American thing to do! It’s how we solve our problems.
