Back during the 2004 presidential campaigns, hip hop duo 4o Del Tren (pronounced “quarto dell train”) released a video and an MP3 for their single ‘SupaDubya’. The lyrics alone are a great crash course in the truth about the Bush administration’s corruption and arrogance. Listening to the song again tonight, I can’t help but think this is the best song about Bush that I’ve ever heard.

You can find the video at one of the links below. I recommend clicking on the pause button until it finishes loading. The servers get hit pretty hard.

WARNING: If you’re offended by hearing words that can’t be said on television, this badly censored MP3 might be more your speed. If you’re a Bush loyalist, don’t watch this video!

Ladies, has your guy made one fag joke too many? Wanna watch him become a bellowing, hyperventilating ball of irrational fury? Show him this study.

More here and here.

For the record, my guy doesn’t make those kinds of jokes and merely chuckled when he learned about the study, but I had a less pleasant experience with an acquaintance who shall remain unnamed.
