Oberweis, Oberweis The voters are in a panic big and white, And not so Hispanic, With a primary opponent You drew a lucky straw the voters thought he was Even Lauzier than thou Then a Dem arrived With bucks big as yours To make it a race To fill Fat Hastert’s shoes. Now mailers will fly Before Friday evening Accusing your opponent Of things like wife beating Oberweis, Oberweis and Foster, with love Make voters in the 14th Wish for “None of the Above” Oberweis, Oberweis Make your ice cream forever And woe be to the voter That has to pull the lever. - Anon - Thursday, Mar 6, 08 @ 4:51 pm: Oberweis, Oberweis, what are you going to do? The ones you abhor were cleaning your store, You said you never knew. Money Bill’d throw to solve all our woes, But you invest it in China, Oberweis, Oberweis, will you run next for dogcatcher? - Outsider looking in - Thursday, Mar 6, 08 @ 5:42 pm: Is this the new Cook GOP chairman? http://www.leeroupas.com - Frank Sobotka - Thursday, Mar 6, 08 @ 11:17 pm: How about, instead, just the the tongue in cheek words ‘Gover-nor…Ober-weiss’ sung to the tune of The Dead Kennedys’ ‘California Uber Alles’?
