Not surprisingly, George Bush is hot to find and punish the whistleblower<\/a> who revealed to the NYT<\/em> his illegal<\/a>, domestic surveillance operation. Bush is following family tradition<\/a> (does Barbara really kiss her sons with that mouth?) – that of acting above-the-law then sliming with the intent to professionally ruin anyone who gets in their way – which reminded me of this song Rickie Lee Jones wrote about them<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Ugly Man<\/strong> (Download MP3<\/a>)<\/p>\n

He’s an ugly man
\nHe always was an ugly man
\nHe grew up to be like his father
\nAn ugly man<\/p>\n

And he’ll tell you lies
\nHe’ll look at you and tell you lies
\nHe grew up to be like his father
\nUgly inside<\/p>\n

Hey – ugly man
\nWhat’s the plan?
\nIf people knew
\nWhat would they do
\nTo the ugly man?
\nHaving fun?
\nBut will we be here
\nWhen you’re done
\nWith me….?<\/p>\n

Revolution
\nNow it’s finally going to come
\nEverywhere that you’re not looking
\nRevolution<\/p>\n

And we’ll take it back
\nNow we take the country back
\nEverywhere that you’re not looking
\nUgly man
\nUgly man
\nUgly man<\/p>\n
