A Farewell Song for George Bush: "Virgil Caine is My Name"
Monday, December 15, 2008 at 10:49
As President Bush trots round the world on his extended farewell, Enduring America is honoured to launch a competition to find the appropriate song to say Good-bye to the 43rd President.
Our first entrant comes from long ago, in the days when George was still raisin' hell rather than creating it.

Balls!!
A classic, classic song that is about the end of the Civil War, sung by a genuine southern voice about a President who was from New Haven, Connecticut?! Hmmmm...
What about...
'Breaking Up" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGnJYMRC9NE#) & "The Execution of All Things" - Rilo Kiley
"Cast no Shadow" - Oasis
"Carpetbaggers" Jenny Lewis and Elvis Costello
"The Great Nations of Europe" - Randy Newman (obligatory, I know)
Hmmm....Not tremendous support for first entrant.
I would have thought the story of the exhaustion and sadness after years of war and strife might have travelled beyond my Southern homeland....
