The scandal featuring Niger, Iraq, Bob Novak, Bush administration leaks, outed CIA agent Valerie Plame, Joseph Wilson, Karl Rove, and biased investigator John Ashcroft (variously referred to as the Valerie Plame Affair, Treasongate, Nigergate, and Traitorgate) surely deserves its own song parody. Feel free to sing "The Traitorgate Song" to "I Write The Songs" by Barry Manilow (chorus only), using this midi link.
The Traitorgate Song (Sing to "I Write The Songs")
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The scandal started with a Niger lie
About nuke matter Saddam never did buy.
But Dubya would not let that falsehood die.
It's Traitorgate, it's Traitorgate.
(Fridge Break)
Then Joseph Wilson loudly whistle blew.
He told the public that the story's untrue,
That based on lies Bush had a war pushed through.
It's Traitorgate, it's Traitorgate.
(Bathroom Break)
George Bush's people ordered punishment.
They outed Wilson's spy-wife, seeking revenge.
They broke the law, risked lives, and quashed dissent.
It's Traitorgate, it's Traitorgate.
(Cocktail Break)
A special prosecutor must be named.
A biased Ashcroft can't investigate.
We need to know precisely who's to blame.
It's Traitorgate, it's Traitorgate.
(Sex Break)
If Bush approved this act of treason he
Must be impeached, go down in infamy.
Plame's outing threatens our security.
It's Traitorgate, it's Traitorgate.
