Senator Orrin Hatch Salutes Ted Kennedy in Song
Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch did not let the fact that the last video on his YouTube channel was "Perils Of Government-Run Health Care" deter him from recording a hastily written homage to his good friend Ted Kennedy. Let's just do this verbatim, shall we?
- Through the darkness
We can find a pathway
That will take us half way
To the stars.
Through the rain and fog
We can find a clear day
Shoo the shadows and doubts away
And touch the legacy that is ours.
Yours and mine
And our children's
For all time.
Just honor him
HONOR HIM
And every fear
Will be a thing of the past.
America, AMERICA
We're headed home
We're headed home
At last.
[SOULFUL GUITAR SOLO]
Just honor him
HONOR HIM
And on the reefs of despair
We shall not crash.
America
America
We're sailing home
Sailing home
America
AMERICA
We're headed home
Headed home
At last.
Hatch is actually a veteran at this sort of thing--Wikipedia touts the $65,000 Hatch has earned over the course of his career as a songwriter, and some might remember "Heal Our Land," the grating anthem that accompanied the teeth-gnasing spectacle of George W. Bush's second inauguration. Hatch also the one who broke the drug-smuggling rap producer Dallas Austin from Dubai prison, citing "good relations with the ambassador and other good people in Dubai" as his means of leverage. And thus Austin, too, was saved from the reefs of despair, and the rain and fog.
