maybe she can get a restraining order

Seemingly exasperated by Karl Rove’s continued attention and comments about her in the press, Hillary Clinton finally spoke out to reporters noting that the White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Bush strategist appears to spend an awful lot of time “obsessing” over her.

And yet, this obsession was once a two-way street for Karl and the Senator, back in the day when they would spar continually, each trying to outdo the other. Sadly, that’s all over now, and so we present for you the following, sung by Karl Rove to the tune of “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers:”

You don’t respect my powers
You don’t send me health care bills
You hardly demonize me anymore
In your statements to the press
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn’t wait to smear me
Used to love to hate me

Now with our numbers so low
Which is good for you babe
So you’re feelin’ alright
Well you just decline further comment
And turn off the television camera light

And you don't respect my powers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But ‘used to be’s’ don’t count anymore
We can’t go for four more
So you sweep me away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to lie
And I learned how to duck
Wait, that was Cheney
Why not Brown, no such luck

Still you’d think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don’t respect my powers anymore

Well you’d think I could learn
How to tell you ‘goodbye’
You don’t say you need me
You don’t send me health care bills
You don’t respect my powers anymore
