A Bush-League Songwriting Attempt

GOP maintains presence in Port Vue

Port Vue may seem an unlikely home for the Mon Valley Republican Committee. The borough has an overwhelming Democratic majority and no Republicans serve on council. ... Mon Valley Republican Committee Chairman Brett Kovac is aiming to change that. "I like the odds at what they are," Kovac said. "The work remains here. I like the challenge."

Kovac said his reception in Port Vue hasn't always been warm. He said that one time a little boy passed his storefront and said, "I'm not going in there. That's that Bush place." (Stacy Lee, The Daily News, Aug. 15, 2006)


. . .

(to the tune of "A Teenager in Love")

When people knock George Bush,
It makes me feel so mad,
So I turn on Fox News,
That cheers me up a tad.

I'm a red stater stuck in a borough of blue.
Why must I be a Republican in Port Vue?

It's hard to vote Republican,
Where they love F.D.R.
Yet I promote Lynn Swann
Up at the Spotlight Bar.

I'm the only guy at Uni-Mart buying National Review:
Why must I be a Republican in Port Vue?

And then at night,
I lie in my bed,
A centerfold of Michelle Malkin,
Hanging over my head.

My neighbors are all Democrats,
I pray someday they see the light
Then we can spread Santorum
Banners on Election Night.

I'm a lonely elephant on Romine Avenue,
Why must I be a Republican in Port Vue?
Why must I be a Republican in Port Vue?
