Lots of Kerry flip-flop song parodies in The John Kerry Songbook

[YaYa123]

Macho Macho Man, "Bring It On". But when George Bush did just that, Kerry whined like a baby. Gone now to lick his wounds at Mama Theresa's mountain retreat.

Without Mama's money, would Kerry even have made this run? I wonder

Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

If your goal is to change minds and influence people, it's probably not a good idea to begin by asserting that virtually all elected Democrats are liars. But what the hell. « Is Kerry a lion killer, or a sniveling pussy? | Main | "Mayor Mike Moran" - has a nice ring to it »

I'm making a guess here, but we know that Kerry's reign as chairman of Yale's Liberal Party (63-64) ended in disaster, with Kerry's fellows despising him so much that they began a "No Kerry Club."  It's possible that in a snit Kerry responded by taking his marbles to the Republican Club the following year.  Of course Republicans, who have a basic character requirement, bounced his ass the next year.  Just a guess, mind you.  BTW, Kerry spoke at his graduation and used the occasion to condemn the Vietnam war. Then he enlisted in the Navy.

I faithfully reproduced the yearbook text. The original may be viewed here. Hat tip to "secret source".
