They parodied politicians and presidential candidates in a popular Web video last summer. Now JibJab Media Inc., is back with an animated tribute to President Bush's inauguration.

In "Second Term," which will appear on JibJab's Web Site Wednesday, four characters in bathing suits -- Vice President Dick Cheney, French President Jacques Chirac, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and British Prime Minister Tony Blair -- throw their arms around each other and President Bush while singing to the tune of "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain."

A selection of lyrics, sung in the short by the Bush cartoon character:

"I will stabilize Iraq in my second term!

I will amend the Con-sti-tu-she-un!

Then I'll eliminate the taxes,

That are breakin' all our back-siz!

And push for more priv-vat-i-za-she-un!"

The video, like the spoof to Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," is the work of JibJab Media Inc., co-founder Gregg Spiridellis and his
brother, Evan.

I saw the video yesterday while I was riding the stationary bike at our local health club. I had headphones on and forgot and started laughing out loud. Needless to say, the others around me, who weren't wearing headphones and were watching either soaps or CNN looked at me like I was some kind of alien. (this is a very Blue county and my tv is always the only one tuned in to FOX NEWS) I loved it!
I do believe the brothers who create the videos are conservative geniuses. Every one of their videos features Hillary slapping Bill. And this latest one has dancing photos of US soldiers in Iraq supporting Bush.
