Theme
A short, satirical track consisting primarily of an audio sample: the famous line delivered by Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Indiana Senator Dan Quayle during the 1988 Vice-Presidential debate, criticizing Quayle's comparison of himself to John F. Kennedy. It's used here as a general political indictment.
Lyrics
(Dialogue from an unknown source:)
"I served with Jack Kennedy.
I knew Jack Kennedy.
Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine.
Senator, you're no **Jack Kennedy**."
