Apologies To J.J. Cale

Cokie

If you wanna hang out, you’ve got to pay her and hers to spout; Cokie.
If you wanna get down, down in Washington town; Cokie.
She’s so sly, she’s so sly, she’s so sly; Cokie.

If you got bad news, you wanna spin toward “truth”; Cokie.
If you’re outside the beltway loop, you might as well be poop; Cokie.
She’s so sly, she’s so sly, she’s so sly; Cokie.

If your man is Bush, and he needs a push; Cokie.
To hell with the facts, she’s got Bush’s back; Cokie.
She’s so sly, she’s so sly, she’s so sly; Cokie.

She’s so sly, she’s so sly, she’s so sly; Cokie.

I’ve got Cokie running around my brain.

 
 

All the Sailors say Cokie, you’re a fine girl, what a good liar, you could be.

Cokie’s for horses, now she ain’t for men.

Doctor said she’d kill me but he didn’t say when.

 
 

Yeah, I’m hangin’ out with these Arab shieks and they’ve got, like, barrels of Cokie.

 
 

Early One morning, while watchin’ the Clowns
I listened to that Cokie, she shot a good man down
She smiles and lies, never loses the knack
she’ll stick the Repub talkin point right in your back

Get up every mornin, there on the tube
another shot of Cokie, dolin oout the lube
greasin up her buddies, don’t you be slow
She spreads that swill from maine, down to mexico

Come on you press boys, just listen to me
Look up the facts and let that Cokie be.

(Sorry Johnny)

Nice one, Retardo. Now do O’Reilly!

 
 

Yes, but she’s perky. Perky, perky, perky, dammit!

 
 

You put your left hand in,
You put your left hand out;
You put your left hand in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Cokie,
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!

it’s also no accident that Bill Clinton is the only Democrat who has been elected president for two terms since Franklin Roosevelt, because he was a Democrat in the middle from the South with a very strong acquaintanceship with scripture —

Between FDR and Clinton only Carter ran for president twice…

 
 

Just to finish Tigrismus’s point: Carter was also a Democrat in the middle from the South with a very strong acquantanceship with scripture. So, I guess that isn’t the magic formula.

 
 

She is definately the perkiest old biddy I’ve ever seen.

 
 

C is for Cokie, that’s good enough for me
C is for Cokie, that’s good enough for me
C is for Cokie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, Cokie, Cokie, Cokie starts with C

Big C, little c,
what begins with C?

Condi,
Cokie …

(and a naughty word favored by the British)

mdhatter–

Like you care, but a friend of mine had the former singer of Looking Glass as her environmental design professor (they can’t call it “landscaping” and expect you to pay to learn about it). Apparently a “Brandy” parody was penned on the fly and circulated throughout the class every time the poor guy used a noun with two syllables.

My other anecdotes are even more tedious! Stay tuned!

 
 

Dr. Cokie: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr George Stephanopoulos: What she means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Cokie: Exactly.
Dr George Stephanopoulos: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Sam Donaldson: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Dr. George Stephanopoulos: The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Cokie: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria.

 
 

Between FDR and Clinton only Carter ran for president twice…

Sadly, No!

 
 

Stevenson doesn’t fit the point Cokie’s trying to make when she says “Bill Clinton is the only Democrat who has been elected president for two terms since Franklin Roosevelt.” She’s saying the Democratic presidents couldn’t get reelected because they’re not Christian enough and not Southern enough, when in fact they mostly didn’t run, whether by choice or fate, and the one who did and lost, the *only* one who tried to be elected to a true second term, was a Southern Christian.

 
 

Cokie never addresses Stephanopoulos’s point that presidential elections have nothing to do with CT senatoral elections and both of which are no indicator that liberal democrats in the Senate that only play to their base at home will cause chaos in the legislative process should the Democrats take back a majority.

It’s not like Republicans from the extreme of their party, like say, Santorum, who play to their base at home cause chaos in the Republican effort to put forward a unified legislative agenda. Wait, what was point was I tyring to make?

 
 

Now me want cookie!

 
 

[…] As Driscoll approvingly notes, this is the same thing Marty and Cokie Roberts are “fretting” over. Now for the punchline to their joke: Democrats, if Lamont wins, will have made the nation a one-party state by becoming irrelevant (despite the fact that the majority of Americans support Lamonts withdrawl position on Iraq), but if Joe “Republican clone” Lieberman wins, the nation’s two-party system will be preserved because Democrats will then be forced to make themselves more resemble Republicans. This, then, is the ‘we had to destroy the village in order to save it’ philosophy as applied to politics. For Roberts, Marty, and Shriver, the Democratic Party cannot and should not exist if it is not a clone of the GOP. […]

Never mind Cokie Roberts, who is only a temporary face in the Washington news crowd. What’s REALLY scary is that the babblings posted by these political savants actually make sense to THEM. And that makes for a rather bizarre interpretation of Reality.
