Watch maudlin narcissist Roland Burris read a “health care-themed” iteration of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” on the Senate floor. “We’ll clog up the Senate, they cried with a grin/And in the midterm elections, we’ll get voted in!” Chilling. Roland Burris will take two copies in his ark to the River Styx. [YouTube]

We should make the senate debate all bills in rhyming couplets, or dirty limericks.
that was really awful.
Christmas in Hollis this was not.
Why would he think Styx would be interested in it? Although the themes seem a bit reminiscent of “The Grand Illusion” and “Mr. Roboto”, the pattern and rhyme scheme doesn’t really seem appropriate for them (or any glam band really) and there doesn’t seem to be a good hook to turn into a chorus. Plus, they haven’t had a successful new studio album in over 25 years.
Oh, wait; I see what you meant now. Never mind.
Is he going to have this poem etched on his mausoleum, too?
White folk owned slaves in America, and Clement Moore was one of them (the white folk, not the slaves). I guess Roland Burris is a racist.

I HIRED YOU FELLAS TO GET SOME TRACKS LAID NOT TO DANCE AROUND LIKE A BUNCH OF KANSAS CITY FAGGOTS
Haiti or Niger?

If he wanders into the Starbucks closest to the Capitol, he will get brained. Because that’s what slapdicks who waste tax dollars by reciting nursery rhymes, raps, poems and songs deserve. So many embarrassments in that fucking building.
Now I’ll have Blondie’s “Rapture” bouncing around my head all day.

Your tax dollars at work. How much fun did his staff have writing that thing?
I safeworded out of the middle of the video.
If you stayed till the end, you heard Burris wish everyone a “Merry Christmas.” Clearly, he has taken sides in the War on Christmas — or maybe it was just a really subtle FU to Lieberman.
my Senate seat and me, close as can be
we make a mean team, my Senate seat and me
we caucus together, rhyme forever
won’t be mad when stuck in philibusta 4eva
My Senate seat…
My Senate seat…
See, Joe? THAT’S what you can get done in 10 minutes if you really try.
Please just bring back baby Maddie.

[re=483643]magic titty[/re]: You’re right, that was a Rep. Jefferson joint:
It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark
When I seen a man chilling with his dog in the park
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
But then I was illin because the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o’clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
But he left his driver’s wallet smack dead on the lawn
I picket the wallet up then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said “Santa Claus”
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G’s
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I’d never steal from Santa, cause that ain’t right
So I’m going home to mail it back to him that night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and all the dough was for me!
You think that’s bad, wait ’til he raps.
“Don’t you give me all that jive
about bills they wrote before I was alive
cuz this ain’t 1823
ain’t even 1970
Now I’m the only senate bro
and attention is one thing I know
so every year
just about this time
I illustrate shit
with a rhyme!”
I have hard the mermaids singing each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to him.
I wish he’d just shut up. I can’t believe he is from my home state, Illinois. He makes us look like we are rubes. He can’t be voted out of office fast enough for me! But who to replace him with is one huge problem thinking of who we’ve got running in this state!
I think a funeral monument update is in order.
You people are so mean. I thought that was cute.
“President Obama” rhymes with “yo mama.” I would have figured out a way to make it work.
michael steele will bite rollie burr’s style on his next mixtape.
No, No, I said do it inna Dancehall Stylee!!! Who the fuck is this guy’s producer?
