All it needed was stuttering and awkward pauses.

That was good, but “Barack the Magic Negro” is still the gold standard.

For something else hilarious check out this podcast from the Hugh Hewitt show, with Dean Barnett guest hosting. The “White Rabbit” segment starting about 3:30 minutes in is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard on radio.

I believe that even the punctuation is correct:

One Night in Baghdad

[THE MESSIAH]
Baghdad: military setting.
And the troops don't know the messiah they're getting.
I am the crème de la crème of the media's world
On a tour with everyone but Dan Rather.

Time flies — doesn't seem a minute
Since the Illinois senate had Barry in it.
Our troops cleaned up Sadr City
I'd say “thanks” but they only get my pity.

Whether it's Jordan or—Afganistan—or Kuwait—or...or
Where are we!

[COMPANY]
One night in Baghdad and Barack’s our savior
The surge is working, Barry just don't care.
You'll find a gaffe for every golden sound bite
And if you're lucky in your eyes he'll glance.
I can feel a tingle running up my pants.

[THE MESSIAH]
My plan would've been better
Sit down with Al Qaida or maybe write a letter.

CENTCOM got no horn to toot.
The surge brought peace, well, that ain't true.

Thank God I'm only pimping Bush's ride—tagging along.

Two hundred reporters just waiting...
To write down what I'm contemplating.

I'll let you watch me. I will invite you
My golden...uh...uh...my voice, it will excite you.
So go back to your producers, your editors, and tell them:

[COMPANY]
One night in Baghdad and Barack’s our savior
The surge is working, Barry just don't care.
You'll find a gaffe for every golden sound bite
And if you're lucky in your eyes he'll glance.
I can feel a tingle running up my pants.

One night in Baghdad can't say say “Obama humble”.
The surge is working, Barry just don't care.
One night in Baghdad and if Barry stumbles
We'll pick him up and carry him anywhere.
McCain, he could be right but, hey, who cares?

Bravo, Mr. Shanklin!

Now...let’s see what you can do with Murray’s other big hit, “Superstar” from “Jesus Christ Superstar”.
