Pink comes out against the President

I've read through every possible argument and criticism of President Bush and have remained largely unmoved.

I figured that, although I'm not a Conservative, I thought it best to show some respect to the man who is leading the fight against the radical Islamist extremists that threaten our existence.

I thought the abuse aimed at Bush was deranged. I thought it was symptomatic of a dangerous obsession that caused erstwhile liberals to lose all sense of proportion - to the point where they would ally themselves with complete fascists.

I was cynical about popstar hasbeens riding the anti-Bush gravy train and I also despised Hollywood airheads who would present their naive morality about the Middle East.

Well all that has changed, since I found out that world renouned lyricist and social commentator Pink has spoken out against Bush.

"One of the most important songs I've written" the peroxide chanteuse modestly claims about her new song "Dear Mr President". Surely this is one of the most important songs ANYONE has ever written.

Certainly, it prompted me to rethink my whole perspective on international relations for the first time since Eminem sang:

"Fuck money. I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead. It's never been said, but I set precedents and the standards and they can't stand it. ... We as Americans. Us as a citizen. We've got to protect ourselves ..." on his classic protest ballad We as Americans.

When you've suffered and strived as brave souls like Pink & Eminem obviously have, it's hard for ordinary folk to see the world through their eyes, but it's something us common citizens of the world have to do, if ever this planet is to survive.

So yes - I am reconsidering. Perhaps if Kelly Clarkson spoke out against the war in Iraq it would be enough to tip me over the edge and you'll see me sucking George Galloway's ample cock on the next peace march in london.

She's pretty boring if you ask me.

Heresy!

Pink has the sharpest political mind since Tiffany!

I liked it....now I understand the common man's angst with the American government....why couldn't all you CE people break it down for me like that?? huh??

Whoa. Am I to understand Dear Mr. President is more important than God Is A DJ ? Wow. Hard to imagine.

I suspected this might happen, but I didn't think the words ''against the President" would be involved.

Wow, a woman is expressing herself! Let's make fun of her!

Maybe it's just me, but criticizing a teen pop singer's political stance is kinda low-hanging fruit. I daresay it might even be below you, Mr. Tight.

Can we make fun of Neil Young as well. Like Pink, he's belatedly cashing in on the Bush Hate fashion thing of a few years back - plus he's from the Maple Leaf State.

You've been here longer than I have. You should know by now - nothing is below me.

No, we cannot. We're here to find solutions, not neenerneener at idiots we don't like.

At least you give yourself something to strive for.

we not here to find solutions - we're here to argue and look at naughty pictures

Oh for Christ's sake, knocking Bush is about as courageous as knocking cancer, everyone thinks he's an incompetent fuck up and not many people like war. If Bush's approval rating wasn't in the toilet, I'd be a little more impressed.

And I said the exact same thing about Eminem, and as far as i know he's not a woman.

She ain't a teen.

If I was more of a capitalist, I'd admire the cynical greed underpinning this exercise. If I was more of a conservative I'd be happy that it was aimed fairly and squarely at Liberal wallets.

Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior.

Sorry, I meant the market she caters to, not her age.

I was a part of her original fan base. We've all grown up.

I listen to her now because to me she is a Suicide Girl through and through, just not on the site, which is a shame.

Jesus wept!

Jesus is dead. Move on.

Move on?

You're the one still listening to "suicidegirl" Pink!

She isn't dead.
