The tone of enlightened discourse on conservative blogs continues, with Powerline's "Trunk" printing a humourous (sic) contribution from self-styled gadfly and professor of something or other, Russell Seitz. It's a parody of the Yale acapella group's eponymous song, the Whippenpoof Song, which is itself a parody of an old Kipling ditty. The new parody works with one current source of right-wing fulmination, the presence of a former Taliban spokesman at Yale. A few of the lines:
Our little black Sheikh has come to play
Boo Laa Laah!
He’s totally psyched to blow Yale away
In’ Shaa Laah!
We're Musselman bombers off on a spree
We’ll wage jihad til eternity
Or Yale Law admits Moussaoui
Lord have mercy on such as ye
Boo Laa Laa
When in Osama and Eli’s name
We atomize the Harvard Game
Dick Levin will say
Larry Summers’s to blame
In’ Shaa 'Laah!
Even if our pal Hashemi
Isn’t quite ready for Bones or Key
Our rewards will be heavenly
Six dozen veiled Smithies are waiting, you see
Ooo laa laaah!
We’ll all pile in to a Ryder Van
And vaporize Vassar en route to Iran
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Note in particular the "joke" linking the suicide bomber's 72 virgins to students at Smith College.
