As ugly as things have gotten, they just don't make 'em like this anymore!

Did you hear reference to this on the Slate Political Gabfest by any chance? I'd never heard of it before, but John Dickerson mentioned it on last week's episode.

So weird to see the post here and then hear the reference on the podcast a couple days later having never heard of this before!

I'd never heard the song before; I found it after Googling the campaign taunt (which dear old Mrs. Davis taught us in History 101 my sophomore year in college):

"Ma, Ma, where's my pa?"
"He's gone to the White House, ha ha ha!"
