Rap With H.w.

DON'T blame George H.W. Bush for the sins of his son, President George W. Bush. Rapper Fab Five Freddy went to New Orleans to catch the Saints play the Atlanta Falcons at the Superdome with his pals, ex-Viacom CEO Tom Freston, Viacom's John Sykes and MTV head Judy McGrath. "We were out on the field to watch U2 and Green Day and George Bush Sr. walked by," Freddy told us. "I got in his way and (yelled), 'We need to bring the troops home!' He told me, 'We must win this war.' So I said again, 'Bring the troops home' - and even though people tried to herd him away, he came back and said, 'I don't really have anything to do with it.' "

Stone: Bush has set U.S. back 10 years



.... "From Sept. 12 on, the incident (the attacks) was politicized and it has polarized the entire world," said Stone. "It is a shame because it is a waste of energy to see that the entire world five years later is still convulsed in the grip of 9/11. ....

"I think that conspiracy-mongering on 9/11 is a waste of time," he said. "The far greater conspiracy occurred after 9/11 when basically a neo-cabal inside our government hijacked policy and went to war. That was as broad a conspiracy as we can get and it was about 20, 30 people. That's all, they took over and all these books are coming out and they are pointing it out," said Stone.

"This war on Iraq is a disaster. I'm disgraced. I'm ashamed for my country," he said. "I'm also ashamed that America has attacked itself with its constitutional breakdowns. I'm deeply ashamed." ....

2. "I don't really have anything to do with it."
