If you have the stomach for
If you have the stomach for it, here's the song.
P.S. "Chip, the magic cracker" - that's hilarious! We should work on some verses. I'll start (I'm not good at this, so anybody feel free to change it):
Chip the Magic Cracker
Down in Tennessee
Sends racist gifts to the GOP
And dreams of the RNC.
Chip the Magic Cracker With
Chip the Magic Cracker
With his smiley pinky ring
Thought it bought good luck to Mike
That's the expertise he brings
New Song, Same Tune
Rush the Tragic Dope Fiend

Saltsman's head looks like some manner of vegetable.
Not quite sure which one.
Gourd? Eggplant?

Lameness, thy name is Saltsman.
