The Battle Hymn of Sarah Palin

For several days now, my friends on Facebook have been posting, and re-posting, the YouTube video of this lovely couple singing the praises of Sarah Palin.


It's been very entertaining, as we've talked about Gary Mcvay's vocal stylings and the moves of his adorable back-up singer. We've all enjoyed a good giggle at the lyrics: 


She's a cold blast from Alaska ingrained with common sense. 
She's not a Harvard lawyer, but she knew what the founders meant.
A cold blast from the north that freezes Congress in their tracks,
With God and the Tea Party, she's gonna take it back.


Sarah Palin! She won't listen to their bunk.
Sarah Palin's comin' south to hunt some skunk.
Sarah Pailn! She'll throw 'em all in jail,
and when she gets to Washington it'll be cold as Hell!


Sarah has the wisdom to walk through an open door.
She is stomping out the wretches where the evil minds is stored.  (?)
She will scrub the floors and sweep the riff-raff into cracks.
With God and the Tea Party, she's gonna take it back.

Sarah Palin! She won't listen to their bunk.

Sarah Palin's comin' south to hunt some skunk.

Sarah Pailn! She'll throw 'em all in jail,

and when she gets to Washington it'll be cold as Hell!

(spoken)

Congress pats themselves on the back from some new bill they just passed. I watch as my freedoms run slowly through an hour glass. They think they spend out money better than we do. But they can talk until they're blue and old. 'Cause if they ever gave us anything, they always wanted something in return. Sarah knows!

Sarah's marchin' on!

(spoken)

I'd like to dedicate this to the Tea Party and all the preachers.

But amid all of the humor, I'm looking at the "set" and wondering: The open book (Bible?) on the table in front of Gary. The table itself, with the words carved on it - I don't know what the specific name for it is, but isn't that the kind of table you'll find in front of the alter in churches all across America? And there, on the wall behind Gary, could that be the base of a cross?

Looks to me as though this video was shot in a church, and churches, we know, are allowed to advocate for political causes. But when they endorse a specific candidate, don't they put their tax-exempt status in jeopardy? Does anyone out there know where this video was shot?

Just sayin...

For those of you who haven't seen the video yet:
