4um: Orrin Hatch pens song for Teddy Kennedy

Conservative Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch struck up an unlikely and enduring friendship with Ted Kennedy over the years they shared in the Senate. It was a hugely unexpected relationship. Hatch had even told NEWSWEEK that he ran for the Senate to fight against Ted Kennedy. Yet the two men worked together on a range of bills, including the children's health-insurance program, and became personally very close. Hatch last spoke to Kennedy about a month ago, when they again discussed health care. The Salt Lake Tribune reports: "He said, 'I want to do it with you,'" Hatch said. "I said, 'Well, tell your staff to work with me and we'll get it done.'"

Hatch also likes to write songs, and he's written one with singer Phil Springer that he released on his YouTube channel today. I've posted the lyrics after the jump. Enjoy.

Through the darkness
We can find a pathway
That will take us half way
To the stars.

Through the rain and fog
We can find a clear day
Shoo the shadows and doubts away
And touch the legacy that is ours.

Yours and mine
And our children's
For all time.

Just honor him
Honor him
And every fear
Will be a thing of the past.

America, America
We're headed home
We're headed home
At last.

Just honor him
Honor him
And on the reefs of despair
We shall not crash.

America
America
We're sailing home
Sailing home
America
America
We're headed home
Headed home
At last.

ill.....I'm very, very ill......WWF wrestling.....Sots and Mormons pals?.....where's richard90210 to explain all this to us???

This is why I don't waste money on a broadband connection. Garbage. Sheesh, the text was enough to make a person puke.

Orrin Hatch has always been repulsive to me, but this now open love affair with TK is sickening. Ya' think the partisan political goofs will get a clue when they learn of this 'conservative', 'liberal' love fest?

Booby Hatch is the person that recommended Ginzburg to Clinton as SC Justice. Clinton had never heard of her.

One hundred and thirty million people still think we have a two party system, they voted to prove it.

If we could get Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Michelle Obama into a Hall of Mirrors, there would be an explosion of Biblical proportions.

If the Rs can give the goofs a product in '12, that appears just a tiny bit better that O'Czar, wouldn't we be better off?

Toss in Obama’s homeless aunt Zeituni Onyango and we can literally fracture the planet.

I cannot foresee 2012 going to fruition in the accepted manner,odds are against it.

You really have a bad hangover or a bad taste in your mouth this morning. hehjehehehe

Hell, you can get some goof to write a sappy melody on a twelve-string, and the rubes will eat it up.

Wait 'til Chrissy gets here. I'll bet ya a hundred Patriot Bux she gets up on the cynical side of the bed.

Sir Lod is like a weather barometer. When he is down, look out, gonna storm all over someone.

When he is up, he has key to the gin cabinet and the weather is coming up roses.

Hey, what are the chances that the touring Michael Jackson casket will crisscross Teddy's caravan?

Yes - my mood is pissy today, besides all the usual stuff that goes on, my GP of sixteen years is relocating to another practice and I have to select another one fairly shortly.

And you wouldn't believe all that's included in the "Authorization for Release and Disclosure of Protected Health Information" form - amazing.

He was the biggest douche-bag politician walking the Earth. He was a dunce-cap from the day of his birth. He could lie through his teeth just like a ring and a bell And ev'rybody screamed: Remember Chappaquiddick. He was a Senator, he was dynamite and no matter what the treason he did (it) alright. And he drank (and) he cursed and he fooled around But when the women would shout: OOOooooooo Chappaquiddick,

Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick, Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick, Oh oh oh Chappaquidick.

With a bottle of wine in one hand and steering wheel in the other 'Cause he was a ladies man He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring Mary Jo Kopeckne asked… Can Ya Drive me to Chappaquiddick?

Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick, Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick Chappaquiddick, Oh oh oh Chappaquidick.

His mind was on rock and roll and having fun Because of his past he was bought and sold, It’s just too bad he had to die so old. But he made his mark in history. Still ev'rybody says: Remember Chappaquiddick.

Uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggg........I'll honor him with a projectile vomit. Exuse me while I get some windex and paper towels to clean up my monitor.

What a faggot. This is the worst song I have ever heard in my life. I would even rather listen to that song "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton. Even THAT Song is better than this crap by Orrin Hatch.

reading the text of this song made me want to upchuck too. i don't dare listen to it.

If there was ever a doubt in anyone's mind about America being trapped in a system comprised of ONE PARTY ON A TWO SIDED COIN, this Hatch eulogy should put that nonsense to rest.

Now there's a picture of a woman living on borrowed time. Poor thing. Look at those prominent neck tendons and that yellowish complexion.
