Amazing the inspiration derived from duck hunting

Oh lordy! I know Monty Python has never been one (collectively or individually) to shy away from controversy, but good old Eric Idle has put both feet forward with the hilariously venomous The FCC Song. Here's a sampling of his verse devoted to Vice President Dick Cheney:
Your pacemaker must be fake
you haven't got a heart
as far as I'm concerned
you're just a pasty-faced old fart

I believe it would be glorious (and inject a faint glimmer of life and energy) in the Kerry Campaign were the song adopted as the offical anthem. Of course, the fact that Idle lays out about 167 F-bombs in the chorus alone might give the good senator from Massachussetts pause, but I'm certain he'll appreciate the spirit behind it...

    Granted, it does come off something of a riff on Idle's Python chestnut "I'll Bet You They Won't Play This Song On The Radio" from a few decades back, but the sentiment and barbs have been sharpened significantly in the intervening years.
