Song sung blue

In an ideal world, the perfect theme song for our lawmakers would be something patriotic and uplifting, like "God Bless America."

Or a bittersweet tune about the gap between the America's aspirations and imperfections, such as Springsteen's widely misunderstood and misappropriated "Born the USA."

Back in the real world, given recent headlines, it'd probably be "Lady Marmalade."

The whole problem could be solved if all these painted, fallen women who keep tempting our legislators and pillars of our communities could just get themselves down to the Lt. Hinson Home for Wayward Women. They'll get straigtened out there.
