"Or we can just pass Obama's budget!"
ROFL
I love these every week.
The links to these NewsBusted comments need to be fixed. When first pressed, they just show you a page with all the episodes listed below Eric Peterkofsky's bio.
LoneWolf,
You can find these videos and other conservative news commentary at newsbusters.org.
Reagan ruined the music biz?? Has Mellencamp gone off the edge or what? I was a huge JM fan until his war for oil song came out. He can shove it up his white trash arse now. He doesnt get my money.
Mellencamp has been unhinged for ages – "Rain on the Scarecrow" was about the plight of the American farmer, who work in the most subsidized industry in America. But his real craziness got exposed during the Bush years, just like every liberal wacko-in-hiding; other than his anti-Bush comments there was his bandwagon-jumping on the Jena 6 issue. He wrote some song based on the Hollywood liberal interpretation of what happened, ranted and railed about the injustice … and grew strangely silent when the ringleader and several others confessed and were found guilty. Some of them even went on to re-offend.
It's gotten to the point that I just don't care anymore. I expect every black hip-hop artist I like to have written a song for Obama. I expect every rock artist I like to have written an anti-Bush song. They have to. It's paying dues, plus when you're rich and famous and pampered you have to assuage that guilt somehow, tell yourself that you're just a working Joe.
NewsBusted IS what the '1/2 Hour News Hour' SHOULD have been…
I'll take Jodi Miller over Johnny Stewart any day of the week.
Hmmm……..
As for Johnny Cougar, I loved listening to him during Fri nite Skatin rink sessions. A little Hurts So Good, and Jack and Diane, great! But political commentary from a dunce like Mellencamp would be like going to a blacksmith for a new pair of shoes, IMO. Hey, John, Johnny, Cougar, Mellencamp, SHUT UP. Make us all happy. Then write some mindless dittes, and we might, just might buy your craptastic music again.
Not funny at all. I just wasted 2:27 of my life.
Waaagh!
"Fake"…but accurate.
Mellencamp?….Mellencamp?…faintly relevant to the world today. In a dust-bin discount kinda way.
Jodi Miller can and does kick the crap outta Colbert, Stewart & Maher on a daily basis.
