Ross Douthat meets Taylor Swift

Ross wrote "She should have said no."
Taylor sings "Should've said no."
Combine them, and you have a parody in honor of Sarah Palin. (In the video, it will be snow falling at the end instead of a stream of water.)

It’s strange to think ‘bout what might have been
The speeches, debates, a McCain win: it's gone
The other day I said I was through
The pundits have no clue; seems wrong
Too bad I can’t take it all back, have another chance
They looked for my weakness when I said yes…

I should've said no

I should've stayed home
I should've thought twice when he called on the phone
I should've known the herd, searching for bad words, would trample me
It should have been there in the back of my mind

I shouldn’t have been hung out to dry
The liberals won’t be asking for my forgiveness in the street

If I’d only said no, and then I’d still talk policy

You may think that I’ve been crying
And you think you know the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to turn my cheek
When you’re dishing all this crap…
You say that my career is now past, I had one chance
They looked for my weakness when I said yes….

I should've said no
I should've stayed home
I should've thought twice when he called on the phone
I should've known the herd, searching for bad words, would trample me
It should have been there in the back of my mind
I shouldn’t have been hung out to dry
The liberals won’t be asking for my forgiveness in the street

If I’d only said no, and then I’d still talk policy
I can't resist... I will not vanish.
Am I worth it?
Am I worth it?
Yes, Yes, oh Yes. Yes, Yes, Yes.

I should've said no

I should've stayed home
I should've thought twice when he called on the phone
I should've known the herd, searching for bad words, would trample me
It should have been there in the back of my mind

I shouldn’t have been hung out to dry
The liberals won’t be asking for my forgiveness in the street
If I’d only said no, and then I’d still talk policy
