But yes on Cruz Bustamante!

you put alot of work into this, it appears to me...the old "one ton tomato" song
Bob is on Cruz control!
Nice Work Bob.
Bob - Loved it. Great work!
I really liked this...good job!!
Great job Bob (And I b-a-r-e-l-y know the song) but still...oh, and "bad parodies" too, while I'm thinkin' about it ("sick puns in my head"--heh)
Good job! Unlike Cruz, this parody is a winner! :-D
Thanks, folks. This was guilty fun for me; nobody can satirize the left better than the left, I say. And if Cruz does win, how about Merry and Pip ending the suspense? Or at least getting a virtual spanking? d;:^)
