Some quick thoughts on last night's debate.

A Totally Political Filk To Which You Are Invited To Contribute

Apparently Cindy McCain had the nerve to complain that Obama was running "the dirtiest campaign in American History."

At Making Light, there is an open request for educational filks about dirtier campaigns, to help Cindy with her history.  "No Child Left Behind" and all that.

This was my contribution:

Educate Cindy McCain
lyrics by Cat Faber
tto "Rosin The Beau"

Her husband was losing the voters,
So Cindy arose to complain
Obama was playing too dirty
Let's educate Cindy McCain!
  
   (chorus)
   Let's educate Cindy McCain---
   Let's educate Cinty McCain
   She thinks that Obama plays dirty
   Let's educate Cindy McCain!

Obama supported a program
Keep kids from sex-predator pain;
"Graphic sex-ed" McCain charges.
Let's educate Cindy McCain!

T'was only four years ago lately
The Swiftboating lies had free reign
To drown a real hero--John Kerry.
Let's educate Cindy McCain!

(insert new verses here)

"Rubber and glue" are the charges
That she has the nerve to maintain.
If we have to go back to the schoolyard--
Let's educate Cindy McCain!

Now, I don't number this among my best efforts, but I invite you to help me out here.  Examples of dirty campaign tricks that put the Obama campaign in the shade, and that scan to "Rosin The Beau" and so on are solicited in comments.  In a couple of days I'll go back and add the verses to this post, credited to their composers.

Thank you for your time.
