Palin replies: "Gravitas? Don't have it, don't want it. Sounds like some Mexican word anyway. Huh? It's Latin? Well this isn't Latin America, folks, it's AMERICA America!"

Good old DKs. I saw them a few years after that here in Portland. They modified this song to be about Reagan, after his election as President, and titled it "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now." (End of history lesson for the kiddies.)

It's unfortunate that the kiddies don't care and prefer neutered, uninspired music. I don't think there's a Dead Kennedys song I don't like.

@Todd: The Reagan version equally rules!
