Restoring Honor

A-Courtin' and A-Sparkin' they did ride:

Sen. Vitter went a courtin' he did ride uh-huh. Sen. Vitter went a courtin' he did ride uh-huh. Sen. Vitter went a courtin' he did ride, D.C. Madam by his side...

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), the family values conservative who became embroiled in a prostitution scandal in 2007, has just won his Republican primary tonight, easily fending off a late challenge from former state Supreme Court Justice Chet Traylor.

With 23% of precincts reporting, Vitter leads Traylor by a margin of 88%-8%, and has been projected as the winner by the Associated Press. - TPM/DC

Rep Souder went a courtin' he did ride uh-huh
Rep Souder went a courtin' he did ride uh-huh
Rep Souder went a courtin' he did ride
Sword of the lord and a bible by his side
Rep Souder went a courtin' he did ride uh-huh.

Well he texted Miss Tracy on his BlackBerry
Says meet me at the boat launch at half past three
We'll talk about Jesus and the fam-i-ly
Abstinence only and the GOP, uh-huh.

Miss Tracy went a courtin' she did ride oh-yeah
Miss Tracy went a courtin' she did ride oh-yeah
Miss Tracy went a courtin' she did ride
Forbidden apple and BlackBerry by her side
Miss Tracy went a courtin' she did ride oh-yeah.

Rep Souder went a courtin' with Miss Tracy
Bounced Miss Tracy on his bouncin' knee
Said you're my my flower I'm your bumblebee
If anything goes wrong justa blame it all on Warshington, DC... uh-huh.

Next to come in is the SC Gov.
With his sleepin' bag and his wander love
To my sweet naranja I'm-a-dreamin' of
I'll be the Phoenix to your Turtle Dove, uh-huh.

Gov. Sanford went a sparkin' he did ride uh-huh
Gov. Sanford went a sparkin' he did ride uh-huh
Gov. Sanford went a sparkin' he did slide
Aboard a jetplane bound for the cheatin' side
What of his whereabouts he just lied, uh-huh.

Sneakin' down an Argentine sparkin' trail
Tellin' a tall Appalachian hikin' tale
Spreading billets-doux by intertoob mail
Busted in Miami - adultero hookup fail - uh-oh!

Next to come in is Senator John Ensign
C-Street playboy valentine
Thumping the Foursquare Gospel anodyne
While puttin' the whoopee in the 'family values' whoopee shine, hey-ho.

Senator Ensign he did ride
Between the legs of his best friends bride
Try as he did he could not hide
A ninety-six thousand dollar payoff bribe, hoo-boy.

There's bread and honey on the shelf uh-huh
There's bread and honey on the shelf uh-huh
There's bread and honey on the shelf
If you want more verse just make it up yourself, uh-huh.
