One of the most clever videos I’ve seen this cycle is this new one from CCPOA titled “Bobblehead Meg.” It’s got a very catchy tune that tells the viewer all they need to know about Meg Whitman, her shady stock deals, her move to California, the job losses at eBay, even her use of eminent domain in Telluride. Watch it:
Lyrics are below the fold.
Let me introduce you to Bobblehead Meg,
A poor billionaire who’s really a powder keg,
A former CEO who didn’t vote till oh-two,
Listen California she wants to be in charge of you!
Well good ole Meg was born into old money,
Got tired of Boston so she moved somewhere sunny,
Now says California’s always been her home state,
But she’s only lived here since nineteen ninety-eight.
Meg for Meg!
I’m not voting for Meg, Meg, Meg.
It’s not all about Meg, Meg,
Shakey, flakey, flippy-flopper, bobbling her bobble head.
Since she moved in she’s been the head of eBay,
And in that short time a lot of job’s she’s sent away,
Two out of five eBay jobs are overseas,
Wonder if she’ll outsource all the state employees?
So we all know Meg is a very rich lady,
But how she got her dough sometimes seems a bit shady,
Ten years ago when the rules were pretty lax,
She did a sketchy deal with the boys at Goldman Sachs!
Meg for Meg!
I’m not voting for Meg, Meg, Meg.
It’s not all about Meg, Meg,
Shady lady, job deporter, bobbling her bobble head.
Well Meg’s got a house in pretty Telluride,
And she wants to keep her view form each and every side,
She couldn’t buy out her neighbors so she figured out a plan.
Use eminent domain to gobble up the land!
Now Meg’s ego needs a boost so she’ll do anything to win,
So she came up with a scheme to simply buy her way in,
Spent a hundred million dollars just to be on your TV,
But I’m sorry dear old Meg you just don’t work for me!
Meg for Meg!
I’m not voting for Meg, Meg, Meg.
It’s not all about Meg, Meg,
Ego-driven, over spender, bobbling her bobble head.
Yes, she’s bobbling her bobble head…
This is entertaining enough to catch and hold
the attention of a media-saturated public.
Going to Facecook with it in 3, 2, 1…
