President Bush's consultant Carl Rove announced he was leaving his position as Bush's top political adviser. What happens if he decides to return a few months later?
 
We take you now to the oval office where Bush has discovered that Rove has returned and wants his job back as consultant: Bush reaches into his oval office desk for his karaoke microphone, clears his throat and waits for the piano opening...
 
I Will Survive (apologies to Gloria Gaynor)
 
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never do my job
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that goofy look upon your face
I should have used my loaded Glock
I should have made you leave your pass
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to kiss my...
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to bike
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my term to serve
I've got all my words to curve
and I'll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had
not to fall asleep
I would like to send all this paperwork
to the garbage heap
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still depending on you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to pay your fee
now I'm saving all my advice time
for someone else advising me
