Iridium Live |

GOP Party Monsters |
|
 |
Mission Accomplished!! During the George W Bush era, Pete and comedian/writer Wayne Lammers put together this collection in 2004, spoofing the worst of the GOP bigwigs. Although that bunch might seem tame compared to the current Trump era, it wasn't then. The album features musical sendups of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Eliot Spitzer, Bill Frist, and of course, Dubbya. (Right-wingers ... you might want to pass on this one.) |
