In 2000 Joe Lieberman ran as VP in a bid to boost the likability of the ticket. Rob Bartlett wrote a parody song in an Eminem rap style and it aired on the Don Imus show in September of that year.

October 15, 2022
I get the whole deal of how Social Security made sense in the beginning. People didn't live long and some were growing old in poverty. We had 35 workers for everyone collecting a check. Unfortunately, the federal government always spends as much as it takes in and everything more that it can get away with, including every single penny of the so-called Trust Fund. We can still turn this around and accumulate vast wealth for American Workers.

Media (Mis)Coverage of the Columbine School Shooting
