| Tub Ring – Alexander In Charge Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I'm surprised no one has filled in the meaning to the one easy to interpret Tub Ring song. This song is about Alexander Haig, Reagan Secretary of State. After the assassination attempt on the former US president in 1981, Haig said "I'm in charge" to the reporters, as if asserting control over the office. However, that is not the way our political system works. Unless the President, VP, Speaker of the house, and President Pro tempore were all out of commission, the Secretary of State would have no chance of taking office. Plus, the constitution doesn't mention the SoS position, since it was created by a presidential decree, so it is likely that if all of the above had become injured or died, he would have STILL been wrong. | |
