On a Lighter Note…

…justice has prevailed as far as the senior troglodyte* at Abu Ghraib. Yes, you guessed it.

Army Demotes General in Abu Ghraib Scandal
The Army has offered its last word on holding its generals accountable in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, but Congress is going to have the final say.
The Army announced that it demoted Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, whose Army Reserve unit was in charge of the prison compound during the period of abuse. Dropping her in rank to colonel required approval from President Bush, and officials said that he granted it on Thursday.

You go, George!

    Uh oh, that’s a cue if I ever heard one, B…
    Louie Lou-ai, oh whoa, say she gotta go
    Louie Lou-ai, oh baby, say she gotta go

    Far away in Abu Ghraib
    The Army chained prisoners like slaves
    Took naughty pictures, gave them a scare
    Hoods on their heads, and their bums were bare

    I say, Louie Lou-ai, oh whoa, say she gotta go
    Yah yah yah yah yah yah
    Louie Lou-ai, oh baby, say she gotta go

    OK let’s give it to them, right now!
    Soon…
    Soon the Army, they got wise
    Closed down the jail and busted some guys
    Unlucky Lynndie done gone to trial
    And the general lady goes out in style

    I say, Louie Lou-ai, oh whoa, say she gotta go
    Yah yah yah yah yah yah
    Louie Lou-ai, oh baby, say she gotta go
    I say, she gotta go now
    Let’s go!
