[No2W2004]

Can't you just hear the guys on fux squealing with glee?

And who do the republicans have singing for them?

1. That is well and good for such an event I guess but...

..I think they should skew younger for some events to woo the youth vote. Streisand and Diamond scream uncool!

But I hope Diamond sings "America" just to piss the freepers off!


Here's who I'd book...

[Larkspur]

3. That song is jingoistic

Maybe Mel Gibson can write a movie for Bush called, what else, The Passion of W.

[wyldwolf]

4. which is why it would piss off the freepers

[Doctor_J]

5. the bootylicious

Beyonce is a Bushie. Probably got her start as a prop in one of his photo-ops.

[wyldwolf]

7. Really? Got a link on that?

I'd be interested in reading it.

[Doctor_J]

8. she performed at the "inaugural", along with

other wingers like Lorrie Morgan, Jessica Simpson, Sammy Kershaw (he and wife Morgan have nine marriages between the two of them), Asleep At The Wheel, Clint Black, and Wayne Newton. And, <sniff> Lyle Lovett

[wyldwolf]

9. yeah.. but that doesn't prove she's a Bush supporter...

...at the most, it showed she was nonpartisan and at the least she just jumped on a big gig that would give her big exposure.

Can we label anyone a Bushie who has had any friendly dealings with them?

6. Wyclef Jean will be there!

and more will be announced.

I thought it was trendy to like Diamond lately, though.

12. This is for MONEY

the young ones couldn't afford these tickets!

[wyldwolf]

13. (ahem) Which I why I said..

"That is well and good for such an event I guess but...

...I think they should skew younger for some events to woo the youth vote."

You see?

[saracat]

14. Of Course

I see.I just think the money is more important than the non existent youth vote at the moment! But we should still have some events for the kids.And yes we should mobilise them but it is an uphill battle.Seems they don't vote until their older.

2. John Mellencamp & Bette Midler...Together at last!

not a bad line up, actually.

10. What "Guys" But Thanks to Babs and Neill

I didn't know that Neill was a Dem/Lib, but sounds good to me.

11. .Has "blm" Heard about This? n/t

[JohnOneillsMemory]

15. I work with singers who sang at the Dem fundraiser with Streisand and

Manilow in 2002. Unfortunately, the White House brought them in to sing at the national christmas tree lighting ceremony to get a piece of them as human credentials because they are african-american.

I wouldn't describe them as Bush* supporters. Jesse Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg are big supporters of them.

But they do a maudlin Ray Charles-esque version of 'America the Beautiful' with full orchestra that has audiences out of their seats like it's a Nuremberg rally.

I've tried to convince them that is the theme song for Global Lynching but they keep doing it because it is such good theater in Amerikkka.

Sad and frustrating for a hard-core anti-nationalist like me.

16. Oh my God, that Limbaugh thing is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!
