Proud Gabby - With Apologies To John Fogarty


I'm reading yet another email asking for money from Americans for Responsible Solutions. They are criticizing the NRA for being respectfully quiet following the Las Vegas mass casualty event. As I continued to read, a jingle started playing in my head to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Proud Mary. All I could hear was "rollin' in the blood".

This led me to rewrite a bit of the first few stanzas of Proud Mary.

Left a good job in the Congress
Workin' for the Left ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things should have been

Big money keep on commin'
Proud Gabby keep on beggin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' in the blood

Cleared a lot of checks in the District
Pumped a lot of hands down in Tucson
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride as the anti-gun queen

Big money keep on commin'
Proud Gabby keep on beggin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' in the blood

 This is probably not the most respectful thing to say about a former member of Congress and I am truly sorry that she got shot by a mentally disturbed young man who had passed all background checks. Nonetheless, I get sick and tired of how the gun prohibitionists roll in the blood of the victims before the blood is even dry.
