It wasn't just the preliminary cast of The Jersey Shore singing about America's Grampiest President since Coolidge! The original rapper had a song for St. Ronnie's 1984 re-election campaign. And this was written before rap even existed!**(Actually, the word "rap" was part of the English language then, but it did not mean hippety-hop music the way punk kids say it today.)
I approve this message. David Corn has a great piece on this song, here.
Somemuddy else reminded me of this video starring Teh Gimper from back in the day when MTV usedta play music videos.
We'll try dumping haloscan and see how it works.
Happy birthday, Bob Marley:
