The Songs of Donald Rumsfeld (apologies - not very presidential)
You just have to go listen to some of the work these people have done setting the words of U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to music.
A quote from their site: "Welcome to the detail page for the disarmingly funny set of songs, The Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld. The new songs have been featured on CNN, NPR, the BBC, and elsewhere in the media and are available on CD from Stuffed Penguin Music.
You can scroll down to read the lyrics—all of which are direct quotes from Rumsfeld's Pentagon briefings and other interviews—and listen to sound clips in mp3 format. Keep scrolling! There are seven songs in the set."
Sample lyrics:
The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.
