Grandma Got Run Over by Obamacare

» comments

This is what I get for watching The O’Reilly Factor.

I’ve found that there are two kinds of people in the world: Those who hate “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” (like me), and those who don’t. I’ve also found that members of the latter group are really, really amused by it. It is for them that I post Ray Stevens’ latest ode to mythological Grandmomicide, “We the People.”

Seriously, I know people who laugh at “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” every single time!

If I didn’t know any better, I might think that Stevens is making fun of wingnut opponents of healthcare reform. While the whole thing smacks of self-parody, what I really love is how Stevens warns against the infringin’ of our right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” I guess the operative word here is “our.”

Watch and enjoy, if only for the knowledge that opponents of healthcare are being led by a guy who wants to let Joe the Plumber “crunch the numbers.”
