Moral Value Meal is the
second chapter in the
Burning Bush trilogy. Picking
up where Burning Bush left
off, it examines the central
fallacy of the administration's
second-term spin: that the
2004 election was decided
by "moral values."

The first half takes place all over America. A gay wedding is busted by the
Department of Homeland Security. A pharmacist refuses to fill a prescription
for birth control. Wholesome songbirds hawk For the Love of God, a CD
compilation of evangelical love songs "guaranteed to keep you out of the
mood."
The show then moves to Washington, where true morality is even scarcer.
Donald Rumsfeld and Peter Pace approve body armor that's nothing more
than a strip: "You can move it up and down," the Secretary of Defense
confidently explains. Senator Rick Santorum takes his feelings about the
human fetus much, much too far. And George W. Bush, after conferring
with several portraits, interrupts a Crawford vacation to prevent a man from
removing a feeding tube from the severed leg of his deceased wife. It's
hilarious!

It happens in stages.
It's like the Dark Ages.
Commandments in the court,
Constitution on the shelf.
The government's lying,
illegally spying.
Democracy is dying
and I don't feel so good myself.
Whatever you thought a free republic was,
get used to the fear, the fraud, the fight, the fuzz.
Whatever you hear or read or say or do,
Big Brother's looking at you -- you're a terrorist!
Forget about welfare.
There's not even health care.
Of course if you're a millionaire,
they'll cut you a deal.
We're not getting younger,
so to help with our hunger,
sit down and order me
a moral value meal.
