Remember that song from The Music Man, Pick a little, talk a little…pick pick pick, talk alot pick a little more – cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap? Yet another great play from high school, committed to memory. Just ask Bob if he ever had trouble in River City, and you’ll be listening to an exact rendition of the Pool Song, for a very long time.

The Palmetto state has some troubles of its own, and has left me wondering about the qualifications of the two GOP candidates in today’s face-off. If a certain Newt liked to cheat on his wives, at least he had the common courtesy to marry his courtesan. And what a bulldog, turning his cheating ways into martyred indignation at the media talking to his ex-wife. Whereas the ever-loyal Mitt, spent his years at Bain Capital leveraging buy-outs and tending to his fiduciary responsibilities. Some call this consulting, others may call it conning. Which is why the alleged billionaire, and seemingly ethical Morman, is like Harold Hill. Pulling the wool over our eyes in his big band dance around disclosing his taxes. Can you say Cayman Islands?

Cheating the middle class, or cheating on your wife? You decide.

Of course there’s always Colbert, and a vote for Cain means a write-in for Colbert, South Carolina’s native son. Now here is a man who knows how to channel Mr. Hill. Colbert arrived at the College of Charleston in front of a full marching band playing LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem!” Complete with cheerleaders and met by a gospel choir, I just don’t see how it gets any better than that. Wait, enter stage left, Herman Cain to a full throttle rendition of Parliament’s “Tear the Roof Off the Sucker (Give Up the Funk).”

All while President Obama croons to his base, “Let’s Stay Together.” Shipoopi!!
