Whether he's calling his wife the C-word, mixing up Sunni with Shia, or making false claims about Iran, John McCain is repeatedly proving to everyone that doesn't happen to work for CNN or MSNBC that he's completely batshit insane. Enjoy our song Teflon John for McCain and the MSM that refuses to scrutinize him.

Teflon John

It's so funny everyone forgot to laugh
At your temper even shorter than the shelf life of a gaffe
From your lips to no one's ears, somehow disappears into the past
If it came from my side no one would ignore
That stupid joke about Barbara Ann, or when you called that wife of yours--
a country needs a whole lot better
than the mixed up words and letters, evermore

Bot the nonsense only echoes for about three seconds long
They've got their fingers in their ears, they can't point out where you're wrong

Teflon John, is this thing on?
All the microphones are broken
And the lines that you've misspoken
Are met with nothing but a token nod-along
They just move on, so move along

I never ever would've guessed
That when you ride for half the price on the old Straight Talk Express
You get the Denny's senior special
And it comes with a free pass from the press

So let's not put no huffy hotheads where they really don't belong
I'd so much rather see you feeding ducks down at the pond

Teflon John, is this thing on?
All the microphones are broken
And the lines that you've misspoken
Are met with nothing but a token nod-along
They just move on
Oh Teflon John, where have they gone?
Let that sucking up begin
All your friends will let you in and that microscope will never focus on
How you've got it wrong
So move along, Teflon John

Teflon John just happens to be the name of a segment of Verdict With Dan Abrams on MSNBC with this same point, so someone at MSNBC is paying attention. Oh and this is creative

Problem: people love it when McCain gets mean. Admit it, you love that he calls Lindsay Graham "little jerk" and tried to strangle a former football player. The more we accentuate this the more people are going to give him their "person I'd like to have a beer with" vote.

stick to the issues! we have him cold on the fucking issues!

[batgirlevi]

Brilliant. Keep up the good work!

great song, max -- my favourite since i started listening.
im going to have to figure out how to download it from your myspace site.

and i must agree with the other posters, the 'country' thing was too clever.

I guess it just goes to prove how easily the press is bought off today. Only cost McCain one cookout.

Don't ya be dissin' coots, now.

Coots are awesome. Especially when they pump their heads back and forth while they swim.

Too excellent, Max. Great song. And I agree with the others -- the enjambment of "country" is genius.

Hope the tour went well -- will definitely try to make the April 25 show at the Knitting Factory.

Wow! An infantile ad hominem! Now there's an original idea.

[SeriousBlack]

Stellar! I liked the "... a country ..." cleverness.
