Kid Rock Makes Baby Jesus Cry
by Lee

Well, I haven’t written a post to piss Republicans off in a while...

So the other day Jim and I were talking on the phone, and he told me about something going on over at Michelle Malkin’s blog.  Basically Kid Rock had been invited to perform at one of the inaugural balls, and a whole bunch of stick-up-their-ass religious yahoos were getting all bent out of shape about it.  Malkin, whose work Jim and I both admire, was on the side of the yahoos.  You can read all the details over at Jim’s site, but suffice it to say that he and I are in total agreement.

I’m not much of a Kid Rock fan, but I like him as a person and as an entertainer.  It’s a rarity these days that you find someone who is willing to engage in overt acts of patriotism, and who solidly supports our troops, not to mention someone willing to perform at an event for President Bush.  So, the first opportunity they get, these uptight dickheads work to get him kicked off the ticket.  As Jim writes, “This is exactly the kind of behavior that drives young people away from the Republican party.” As far as contemporary rock musicians go, Kid Rock is pretty tame.  Yes he has vulgarity in his songs, and he sings about sex, but who gives a shit?  I mean, seriously, who cares?  Obviously a bunch of panty-waisted, uptight conservative dickheads.  Anyhow, I was thinking of blogging on it the other day, but it was pretty much a dead issue, and Jim did such a good job eviscerating Malkin and her supporters that I thought I’d let him ride the wave.

Until tonight, that is, when I received an email from some guy called Will Harper.
