John Lee Hooker for President

 


Comrades,

Never mind the mind-boggling tax evasion (tax? schlax), with all the bruhaha surrounding DJ Trump's latest nomination for the SCOTUS in the now five weeks left on the hustings until that one day in November, I'm reminded of Ry Cooder channelling that great showman, John Lee Hooker, in his number John Lee Hooker for President.

"Now, I want nine fine looking women sittin' on the Supreme Court.
Their big legs, their tight skirts, drive me outta my mind.
When I need a judgement, they're gonna give it to me, right on time.
They call me on the phone and say 'Johnnie, we disagree on which one of us you like the best?'
I say 'Honey, you're all equally fine, under the law'.
Yessir."
