The latest Jib-Jab animation: "SECOND TERM"

JibJab.com injected into the 2004 presidential campaign some of the better bipartisan humor out there. "It's Good To Be In D.C." and "This Land" were each remarkably funny, both taking jibs and jabs at nearly anyone in the political arena. While I would love to have seen less jibs directed at President Bush and more jabs directed at Senator Kerry, JibJab.com's balanced humor made their animations mandatory viewing in the months before the election.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show, and Jon Stewart (more on them in the days to come), for example, could take some notes from the creators of JibJab, mostly on how to be a little more 50/50 than 70/30 or 80/20 against Bush.

"SECOND TERM"

The lyrics:
(To the tune of “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain When She Comes”)

Yes, I’m comin’ back to serve a second term.
This time I won the national elec-she-un!
Oh, thanks to you O-hi-a,
And dear brother Jebedia,
We get four more years to rule in Washington!

Good God he’s comin’ back to serve a second term.
We were hoping in ’04 we’d get a turn.
But we lost the vicious battle,
Now they’re stuck without a paddle!
Who will save us from con-ser-va-tiz-eum?

I will stabalize Iraq in my second term.
And I will amend the con-sti-tu-sheun.
Then I’ll eliminate all the taxes,
That are breakin; all our back-siz.
And push for more pri-vat-i-za-she-un!

We cannot believe he won a second term.
He destroyed the trans-atlantic alli-unce!
Heck, I’ll extend a friendly offer,
Barbeque and beers in Crawford!
Mending fences broken by pre-emp-she-un!

We want peace on earth thoughout his second term.
We want Iraqis to have free elec-she-uns.
There’s a beef here, let’s dispatch it,
And bury that ol’ hatchet.

Yes, we’ve been through stormy weather,
Now it’s time to work together!
Gather round the ol’ chuck wagon,
It’s a grand time we’ll be havin’,
In the four years he has left in Wash-ing-ton!
