BIG NANNY IS WATCHING:

Meredith, N.H. - Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Monday accused Democrats of favoring a controlling "nanny government" as he continued his bashing of the rival party.

Sadly, but unsurprisingly, Rudy the Unready hasn't yet learned the lesson of Dick: embrace the maternal substitute, so that if we let the voters grow up they shall not depart from the righteous ways of the Decider. He should learn this theme song, from a movie about the Ultimate Nanny, to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins.

We diddle fiddle twiddle your rights away.
We diddle fiddle twiddle your rights away.
Unitary Executive trumps the Constitution.
Try and hold us to the Law,
And we'll get absolution.
Call us in, we'll go "Haw, haw",
For this is our solution:
Unitary Executive trumps the Constitution.

We diddle fiddle twiddle your rights away.
We diddle fiddle twiddle your rights away.
There was a time when we did quake
If Congress said a word,
For fear our funding they would take
If we shot them the bird,
But we have learned a magic term
That stands up like a wall.
We never more will have to squirm
Since we have learned to squall:

Unitary Executive trumps the Constitution.
Try and hold us to the Law,
And we'll get absolution.
Call us in, we'll go "Haw, haw",
For this is our solution:
Unitary Executive trumps the Constitution.

We diddle fiddle twiddle your rights away.
We diddle fiddle twiddle your rights away.
So if the Senate wants to know
The memos we email,
Just let their Chairmen puff and blow:
We do not need to quail.
Branch one and four of this our state
Are both beyond rebuke.
Subpeonas will not be our fate:
Reality's a fluke.

Unitary Executive trumps the Constitution.
Unitary Executive trumps the Constitution!
