'Brave, brave Sir Stupak ran away. Bravely ran away, away. When danger reared it's ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.'

The Tea Party Express is celebrating the retirement of Bart Stupak.

Bravely bold Sir Stupak
Rode forth from Marquette
He was not afraid to fold
Oh Brave Sir Stupak
He was not at all afraid to be mocked in nasty ways
Brave, Brave, Brave Brave Sir Stupak.

He was not in the least bit scared to be bribed
Or to have his fealty questioned, and his elbow twisted
To have his integrity jeered and his honesty burned away
And his veracity derided and mangled, Brave Sir Stupak.

Brave Sir Stupak ran away. Bravely ran away, away.
When a tough vote reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes Brave Sir Stupak turned about, He gallantly chickened out.

Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat.
Oh bravest of the brave, Sir Stupak.

I hear what cinched Stupak's decision was President Obama's promise to campaign for him.
