Last night a bit of
Photoshop fun by

put me in mind of the classic Johnny Cash song "Five Feet High And Risin'." If you're unfamiliar with this great song, based on Cash's experience growing up in Arkansas, you can hear a nice sample here, and read the original lyrics here.
With my apologies to Johnny Cash (who, I suspect, understands and perhaps even approves,) my envisioning of Bush's version below the fold:
How high's the water, Karl?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Five feet high and risin'
You just pay no never mind
Go on and fly to Arizona
John McCain's got birthday cake
And of his soul you are the owner
It's a Marie Antoinette moment
But your heart is made of stone-a
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Ten feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Ten feet high and risin'
Ya wanna gut Social Security
Ya gotta sell your plan
Here's a real purty gee-tar
So you can play in Nero's band
It's the colored's own damned fault
They chose to live on sunken land
Ten feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Fifteen feet and risin'
How high's the water Karl?
Fifteen feet and risin'
Well the levee's weren't maintained and
Folks have got the drownin' blues
And Chertoff''s just too dumb
To watch the TV for the news
But Condi's in New York
And she just bought some fuck-me shoes!
Fifteen feet and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Twenty feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Twenty feet high and risin'
Well we better get your sorry ass
On back to D of C
Even Fox won't give you a pass
And Uncle Dick is on line three
It's now officially a crisis
Since your polls have dropped, you see
Twenty feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Karl?
Thirty feet and risin'
How high's the water Karl?
Thirty feet and risin'
Well even your own party's
Comin' after you with torches
But we're gonna spread some lies
From Karl's confidential sources
And folks will all rejoice
To hear Trent Lott's gettin' new porches!
Thirty feet and risin'
Well it's thirty feet high and risin'
