Disorder In The House: A Playlist For A Carolina Liar, Joe Wilson

As a general rule of procedure, I don't waste much time making playlists for fools on the federal payroll. In the case of Representative Joe Wilson, I'll make an exception -- if only to try and shut up this loudmouth for at least a little while.

"Disorder in the House" -- Warren Zevon
"Bigmouth Strikes Again" -- The Smiths
"Liar, Liar" -- Deborah Harry
"Too Rude" -- The Rolling Stones
"Little Liar" -- Joan Jett
"Fools" - Diane Birch
"Beautiful Liar" -- Beyonce and Shakira
"Little Lies" -- Fleetwood Mac
"Rude Boys Back In Town" - Michael Franti & Spearhead
"Liar" -- The Meters
"Love In The Lies" - Amos Lee
"Crazy People" - The Wreckers
"Lies" -- Nancy Sinatra
"Liar" -- Queen
"Smash Lies" -- Matisyahu
"Shut Up" -- Black Eyed Peas
"Lies" -- Stephen Stills
"Liar" -- Nazareth
"Lies" -- J. J. Cale
"Lies" -- Joe Firstman
"Dance Little Liar" -- Arctic Monkeys
"Shut Up And Drive" -- Rihanna
"Don't Speak Liar" -- We The Kings
"Coming To Terms" -- Carolina Liar

Please add your songs for Joe, and tell me what you think this rude Representative really represents.

How about anything from Southern Culture On The Skids - just saying tthat makes me chuckle, and it's built-in social commentary.

I'd go for just about anything by Southern Culture on the Skids - just saying that makes me chuckle and is a built-in social commentary. Fortunately, they're from North Carolina.

And "Shut the F-- Up" by Cake.

"Wonderful Remark" - Van Morrison
"RESPECT" - Aretha Franklin
"You Haven't Done Nothin'" - Stevie Wonder [Originally about Nixon, but it fits. Plus, it has the amazing added benefit of the Jackson 5 singing backup.]
"Pastime Paradise" - Stevie Wonder
Too many Dylan songs to name. "Idiot Wind," would be my first choice, but since it's been named, I'll go with, "Masters of War." Well, minus the death-wish.

Love the Van song -- I hope we're using it ironically here, but and Belfast Cowboy is good by me. And maybe it reminds us that Joe Wilson is an accidental "King of Comedy"

Ladies and gentlemen, Tom Caufield is a BRILLIANT singer-songwriter whose songs have made other playlists. And so it's no surprise that his playlist is so inspired. My favorite -- the Steely Dan. They have the proper wry tone to handle such idiocy.

Thank you Tom. Your latest album is great too.

I agree, "Only a Fool Would Say That" is great!! I had already faved "Idiots Rule" but I had to fav this one, too.

"Stupid MF" - Mindless Self Indulgence

"Sorry for the Stupd Things" - Baby Face
In particular the lines: "Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool, Sometimes a dog doesn't know he's a dog."

"Dare To Be Stupid" - Weird Al Yankovic

I could go on but I believe I've made my point about what I think Wilson really represents - and is.

[David Wild]

02:05 PM on 09/11/2009

"Dare To Be Stupid" has a certain ring of truth for Joe.
Thanks kathy001

'Idiot's Rule' - Jane's Addiction (Totally applies to the neocons) (Perry wrote it while Poppy began effing things up.

They got a lie
Fat f**kin lie about the law
Idiots obey they made it easy
The cheaters have their way.
you hi-di-ho's!
you're living on your knees
forget the rule!
oh-idiots rule!
forget the rule!
oh-idiots rule!

now there's a time...
but i say none like now
there's a line
where idiots are bound
if there's a pole
planted in your back
then you're a fixture
not a man
forget the rule
oh-idiots rule!
forget the rule!
oh-idiots rule!

idiots!
idiots rule!
idiots!
idiots rule!
idiots!
idiots rule!

you know that man
you hate?
you look more like him
every day everyday
hi-di-hos!
2 good shoes
won't save your soul
idiots rule!
idiots rule!

'1%' also by Jane's Addiction
'The biggest gang I know they call the government
And the gang is somethin' that you trade your mind in for...

Very interesting and eclectic choices Otto -- like the "Shout" sense -- opens up more songs. And "I'm Not There" is amazing even though I need to listen again to see how it applies.

[kathy001]

01:39 PM on 09/11/2009

LOL! "Act Naturally" is such a great choice. I never would have thought of that one but it's perfect.
