Only someone in the Bush administration would think that throwing a hoedown is the appropriate way to mark 9/11.
Evidently, the Pentagon will host a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of 9/11, Rumsfeld said during an Iraq war briefing on August 9.
“Now for the fifth anniversary, we’re going to have a hay ride, a beer drinking contest and a million person square dance, the largest ever.” Rumsfeld said. Noooo, I’m lying about that one. Unfortunately, I’m not lying about the first.
"This year the Department of Defense will initiate an America Supports You Freedom Walk," Rumsfeld said (honest). The walk, and concert, are the Pentagon’s way of showing support for the troops, which is an awfully nice gesture, particularly since it’s W’s fault the troops are in Iraq. What’s more disturbing is that once again, Rumsfeld and the W posse are linking 9/11 with Iraq.
I think country music is too square for such a bold gesture. I want to see W, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld on stage rapping.
“We support you, you mofos, don’t ever doub it, no sense in poutin’ ‘bout it, keep up the good job, don’t you know we are your mob . . . “
Okay, even I have to admit that’s a really bad attempt at rap.
Sinatra! Maybe they could get Sinatra impersonators to put on a performance.
“I’ve got you, under my skin . . .” Hmmm. Those lyrics take on an eerie undertone when you consider the context.
