This is from the Minneapolis Star Tribune website????? I am stunned. Kerry may actually be in trouble here if a newspaper with the political orientation of the Star Tribune allows an article like this to appear on its website.
Kenny Rogers' does tribute "Christmas in Cambodia" at Rep. Convention. News at 11.. lol
John Kerry’s Cambodian Christmas
(To be sung to the tune of White Christmas
with the most sincere apologies to Irving Berlin)
Verse:
The war is raging
I'm on my boat
Ferrying CIA.
There's never been such a day
Here or at Cam Ranh Bay.
But it's December the 24th
We're fighting gooks from Vietnam north ...
Chorus:
I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
Although there'll be no snow or ice.
On a secret mission
With bullets whizzing
Ouch! My butt's shot full of rice.
I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
With every Charlie that I shoot.
Nixon's war is stealing my youth
Hope the girl I marry has some loot.
I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
Just like the one I never knew.
Wonder why my shipmates
Express such deep hate
For me, I really have no clue.
I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
I hope my gift's a Purple Heart.
War crimes in which I played a part
Will give my political career a start.
