Lois Lerner, You're So Smug!

Remember Lois Lerner?  Yeah, the lady who was at the head of the IRS and the one who allegedly started targeting Tea Party and Conservative groups from having tax-exempt status in hopes to halt their progress in raising up conservative candidates and taking issues to the streets.  

I was part of one of the Tea Party groups that was targeted, Katy Tea Party Patriots and was lucky enough to be there in person at the first day of the hearings to hear opening statements from Darrell Issa and others on the Government Oversight Committee.  I even wrote about it for Texas GOP Vote, only my second article I had written for the state wide blog and you can read it here.  

The hearings continue and she may be held in contempt.  I'm sure you have seen the infamous picture of her circulating on the internet, the one taken on day one of the hearings.  She just looks so...well...so...'smug'.  


So, in honor of this smug look on her face, I took it upon myself to change the lyrics from Carly Simon's "You're So Vain", to "You're So Smug".    Yeah, I did.


You walked into the hearing, like you were walking onto a yacht. 
You're brief strategically tucked under your arm, your breath was smelling of contempt. 
You had one eye on Darrell Issa as he watched you take your seat. 
And all the while you were screwing the tea party, screwing the tea party and...

You're so smug, you probably think this vote is about you
You're so smug, I'll bet you think this vote is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

The room was waiting with baited breath
to hear what you had to say
When you started to testify, then pleaded the fifth
I thought Trey Gowdy would heave

But you gave away your right to plead the fifth once you said you were exempt
I had some dreams that you would be held in contempt, held in contempt

And.. 
You're so smug, you probably think this vote is about you
You're so smug, I'll bet you think this vote is about you
Don't you? Don't you?  Don't you?

I had some dreams that you would be held in contempt, held in contempt
You're so smug, you probably think this vote is about you
You're so smug, I'll bet you think this vote is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Now, who of you knew that the Political Chicken was a singer/song-writer?  I know, shocker, right?  That concludes this version of Political Chicken karaoke, tune in next time to hear us sing one to the The Georgia Satellites, "Keep You're Hands To Yourself".
