Repug "in your face" insult to rocker Dems

[AnnInLa]

from todays Wonkette....www.wonkette.com

A Wonkette operative alerted us to an item in Sunday's Reliable Source about the effectiveness of Kerry's official surrogates, rock-n-roll division. A Republican functionary in the Maryland government, Rob Carter, has used his own hard earned money (perhaps the part that would have gone to taxes?) to print up t-shirts for the "2004 Irrelevance Tour," listing the artists who toured in support of the erstwhile Democratic ticket: Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, John Fogerty, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and John Prine. Our hearts go out to the tireless Jon Bon Jovi, who didn't even make the "irrelevant" line-up. Clearly, Carter did not grow up in the '80s.

But what we really love is the jocular apercu Carter's come up with: "You lost. Now shut up and entertain me!" Guess "Suck on it, assholes," was too subtle. But it would have gone better with his "Mustache Rides 50 Cents" foam hat.

1. left-leaning artists should speak up louder than ever now.

righties think they've won a football game, which gives them bragging rights for the next four years. part of that, in their little brains, means that we need to stay in our place and shut up.

but i believe now is the time to yell louder. more bumper stickers. more dissent. more upside down flags. more flies in their ointment. singers, writers, and everyone need to dis' bush vocally and at every opportunity.

they're going around saying they have a mandate. it's our responsibility to show them just how wrong they are.
