More Wasilliness

Another Book



Another Run



Ray Stevens can still do satire... If that's really what this is.

    The music video has fun with Sarah's public image and uses specific cable television personalities as the back-up choir but for those who don't like her it can easily be taken as satiric for the wrong reasons. It has sight gags as well...especially when Ray appears as the salesman at the end. But no, this isn't some anti-Palin music video or anything like that.

    For whatever reason a lot of Democrats seem to think this video was intended to make fun of Sarah when I see it as a video designed to have fun with an image mostly created and spread around by liberal news companies both on cable television and the internet. I think that is why the video uses cut-out's of specific liberal talkers to portray the harmony singers...it's meant as a commentary on how the media perceives Sarah and how they like to take things she says and belittle her opinions and make fun of her voice, her hairstyle at the moment, her personality, etc etc.

    She gets beat up by the liberal media all the time and 90% of the time it's over trivial matters...like the time someone made a big deal over her using notes while giving a speech. The notes being written on her hand. Ray spoofed that in this video. In my opinion he didn't spoof it because he wants to make fun of her...in my opinion he did that because of how much of a big deal was made of it.

    So, as you can see, if one doesn't really examine Ray's latest string of political music videos the videos can easily be misunderstood by either political party. The liberals think the video is an attack on Sarah while the conservatives feel the video satirizes the liberals by using their cable counterparts in such comical fashion. I've been a fan of Ray's for years and his comical approach in these music videos, one could say, softens the hard hitting message that they carry.

    There's a couple music videos from Ray about ObamaCare called "We The People" and another music video called "Throw the Bums Out!".
