Will we hear Bushleaguer live again?

This is a great song, especially live, and I wonder if the band will play this song again.. When that moron of Bush will be only a sad memory, I don't think Ed will consider this song appropriate again, and we'll even miss his funny shows with the mask.. I've seen this song in Bologna in 2006, and it's been one of the highlights of the show.. So, if the band will ever read this, I suggest to not put away this song, because the music is great, maybe they can re-arrange it and make it an instrumental song (if I'm not wrong, Stone declared that the early version of this song was a bit different than the riot act version with Eddie's spoken words)..
Or maybe they can just rename it Obamaleaguer, but this title sounds not as good as Bushleaguer

Even Hillary could be a good subject for the song..
Like you say, i dont think its necessary anymore. But maybe they will make a new song to hail the new pres? I doubt it lol, just glad to see Bush going is enough for then. What about that barack around the clock?
Exactly...I'm all for protest songs...but "Bu$hleaguer" is just not very good. At all. The riffs sound uninspired...and while I agree with Eddie's political views for the most part...some of the lyrics in the song are ridiculous.
Just not shitty ones. Like basically all of Pearl Jam ones.
Ed always cracks me up when he comes out in the beginning of this song

Same here. I like No More, but Bushleaguer is much better. The lyrics are so ridiculous. They played it night 3 of san fransisco 06, and it was a great version. Ed was totally into it compared to the cd.

no "maybe if" but WHEN Obama starts pulling the same shit Bush did and picks up where the Republicans left off and Ed and the boys realize they where lied to (again) then we will have an Obama song!
i hope we never ever hear this song again. its a shit song.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
No George Bush is in a league all his own..
Agreed. I feel the exact same way. It is a waste of track space on Riot Act when far better songs missed the cut. And soon it will be dated and no reason to ever play it again.
