Maryland congresswoman Donna Edwards apparently really likes the White Stripes. They are okay, we agree! But she also has the Magic Power of being able to understand whatever Jack White is wailing about:
Or, she just went to alllyrics.com or something. Also, you may be thinking, “Well she knows about the White Stripes because she’s like 25 years old,” but no, she is a liberal lawyer and former space scientist and she’s 52! Anyway, hooray for Donna Edwards! Salon says this prevented a government shutdown. Whut? And here is the actual song, which is basically an out-of-tune version of “Honky Tonk Women,” because why not:

Thanks for the link to alllyrics! I just now discovered that I was wrong and the lyrics in "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was not "the girl with colitis goes by" Wow, makes sense now.
Wow, really. All these years I've been singing along to:
I don't want to get married, in a pet sematary.
I don't want to live my life with him.
Karma Karma Karma Karma Come-a to me Leon!
oops. I don't want to BE married.
Could be why I'm not. Any more. lol
I always thought it was "As Lucy and Linus goes by…"
52 is 25 to dyslexics.
That's lysdexics.
Don't forget: God is dog spelled backwards!
In response to this liberal outrage, house republicans have voted on a measure that would ban satanic Rock and or Roll music from the house floor. For liberty!
Screw you downfister!
Yeah, this has everything the unemployable shit-sucking diaper troll hates: black women, blacks in Congress, women in Congress, women playing drums, and any music not performed by Lee Greenwood.
Yeah, he probably thinks that they just gave her the job because she was black. Damn those ACORN people!
re: women playing drums
Meg White Rocks!!1!

Wait. Level 7 as in the book Level 7? How old are you?
At least there wasn't miming. Or interpretive dance.
I doubt if the Republicans/TeaPartiers were paying any attention. Too busy either sexting or reading the bible to listen to some black! woman! libtard! quote Commie Socialist lyrics.
Jack sings about as well as Meg drums. Apart from that, they're solid.
I liked the lyrics and the presentation, but I just couldn't get into the beat. I give it a 75.
If it aint Pat Boone the Republicans aint listening.
But just the one song. And also one by Lily Allen, even more appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WUD-nhsmkw
Somebody has to do it:
♪♫ Let the Eeeeeeaaagle Soar! ♫☼
That was one of my all-time , best ever, peeing while laughing moments of all time, I remember when I first heard him singing that, I was literally shrieking with laughter. Second best, which is only funny in retrospect, I was about 16 and wearing an ankle-length summer dress that had elasticised smocking around the bust , I was not wearing a bra, and was getting on a bus, as I climbed the step I trod on the hem , it pulled down the whole front of the dress and my adolescent breasts flew out of the top right in the face of the bus driver.
Truly an oldie but a goodie. Classic Republican overreach.
Lovely story as well! I too had an odd penchant for flashing what were little pancake titties. In my case it was nearly always at the beach, and my father would be roaring laughing at me.
Now I could lift my shirt and not even get beads at Mardi Gras!
If photos exist of the bus incident, please destroy them before your Wonkette colleagues become subject to sex offender registration requirements.
I gotta say I enjoyed the story, though.
They were so damn big and bouncy at that age and I was such a wee thing, I was maybe 5'2" tall and about 100 lbs, of which about 25 lbs.was bosom. I was a pornographer's dream.
Please go on.
When I was twenty or so, I worked as a photographer's assistant at a portrait studio. In the midst of changing one of those stupid ugly background screens, the bottom dowel rod was protruding slightly and caught my skirt as it quickly rolled up, giving everyone a wonderful view of my ass. I was so mortified I thought I was going to puke.
Oh I feel your pain, I thought I was going to die when I had the bus experience, it was so unbelievably embarassing, I laugh now but at the time I just wanted to cry.
You know you're assuming that Honky Tonk Woman wasn't a rip off to begin with.
YOU CAN'T TAKE THE EFFECT AND MAKE IT THE CAUSE
Lyrics go in, tune goes out, never a harmonization!
So, did any of the Teabagger congresstrolls fire back with some Rush lyrics?
And that will be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie
That's exactly what I thought it was, for years.
Also, Truck Easy Love (for Chuck E's in Love). That one's embarrassing.
Next up, Jesus Shootin' Heroin by the Flaming Lips….
As the debate languished into the night, Ms. Edwards threw up her hands and said she was going to Wichita, far from this opera for evermore.
Thank god that song doesn't have the word "uterus" in it.
Maybe I'm the faggot America/Not part of the redneck agenda – that would do it.
meg white kinda weirds me out.
but in a good way.
Steve Allen she ain't.
Next up, Dennis Kucinich rocks out to the Dead Kennedys!!!!!

I'm kind of impressed.
Donna is my congresswoman- I worked for her to be elected- when we got rid of that pigfat DINO Al Wynn(how she lost to him the first time she ran made me rethink Maryland- but only fooled once- on her second try , she only lost one precinct and that by 7 votes). A black progressive(wildly progressive) single mother- Donna kicks ass. I think the only thing the GOP hates more than her is The President.
If Donna Edwards put out a hip-hop album of White Stripes covers, I would buy it. Seriously.
Beat me to it…but I'm in for a couple of CD's as well. The perfect gift for 2012…
Yeah, I know, she's probably pandering to her constituency, but black girls who listen to rock and roll is a, uh, near and dear demographic to me, so even tho I haven't lived in 20785 since 1979, she's got my vote.
