Alaskan governor Sarah Palin is a staunch Republican, but this minor detail isn’t stopping the Harvard Democrats from declaring their undying love for her through a ballad they’ve written, produced and performed (i.e., lip-synced) in her honor.

Why the adoration for one of their sworn adversaries? Well, to be honest, she’s probably going to cost John McCain the election. Therefore, as far the Democrats are concerned, there’s plenty to love.

The song, entitled “Men for Palin: A Summer Surprise,” not only pokes fun at Palin, but also questions her qualifications and overnight rise to political superstardom.

Here are the official lyrics:

Lover...
We met on a Friday
In August with overcast skies
The old man stepped out
And we let out of shout
Up his sleeve was a summer surprise

Forgotten...
Was the talk of last night
When we gazed to the right at your face
With your guns and your good book
And your cute perky look
Who needs change when you've secured the base?

CHORUS:
So we are wailing,
We love Sarah Palin
Our Moose-huntin' hope-blunting GOP nominee!
So our Hearts are sailin'
For you Gov'na Palin'
Our Alaskan Sport-castin'
GOP nominee... for VP!

Sarah...
Our girl from Wasilla
A mayor with five kids and a heart
By your second term
You had hired a firm
To lobby for earmarks, how smart

Gov'na...
You're our bridge from nowhere
You puts jets and commissioners on eBay
You lowered the tax rate,
You kept your bearings straight
While Russia was just three miles away!

CHORUS

Sarah...
You think with your gut
Unlike those fact-finding rational punks
With your Tina Fey glasses
Kick those Ivy League asses
Take their "plans" and replace them with spunk

Sarah...
The earth is like Hockey
Iraq's like the drop of a Puck
You play all sixty minutes
You stay in 'til you win it
As for the economy, our country is ...
Just out of luck

CHORUS

Sarah, it's great that you're a mother of five... but what do we do about the
subprime Mortgage crisis and its subsequent effects on the global economy?

I mean, I'm glad you can whip up some Moose stew, but how do we deal with a
Medvedev-run, Putin-influenced Russia?

I adore your small town values, but how do we solve the global climate crisis?

And finally, a few words of loving thanks...

I thought the culture war was over, but you brought it back.

I thought we'd finally talk about the issues, but I'd rather talk about
lipstick and your affect on the horserace.

And I'm glad women now have someone to vote for, because clearly women can only vote for other women. Thanks Sarah.

And as for Barack Obama, Joe Biden, ideas, plans, change, inspiration,
"experts" and hope... thanks, but no thanks.

CHORUS
