Was it a remake of Old Mother Reagan?

The guest was Carmaig de Forest, a fine songwriter and ukulele player who now lives in DC.  The original version of George Bush Lies was done for Bob Mould's Singles Only label during the first Iraq war.  He's been friends with the Femmes since way back, first album was produced by Alex Chilton, blah blah blah.  Check him out at the link above.

I won't hold this against the Femmes.
