"Banking Queen"

This will only make sense to those who listen regularly to Rush Limbaugh. He often plays parodies of popular songs written and performed by Paul Shanklin who does a great impression of the voices of the political figures he's poking fun at. And, of course, the lyrics are politically relevant. Today the parody was one of the greatest he's done. He took Abba's great "Dancing Queen" and parodied the extreme left-wing Representative of Massachusetts, Barney Frank. Frank is the House Chairman of the Banking Committee and one of the members who claimed there was nothing wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 3 or 4 years ago. Naturally, he was wrong as taxpayers are now bailing out Fannie and Freddie.

Anyway, the song, done as Barney Frank singing, is called "Banking Queen." Not very politically correct, but very funny. I'm sure Rush will take some heat for it, but he can handle it.
