Breathe, Strother, Count to Ten

Relax, Strother, no one but you and John Corzine seem to be getting pissed off. Your classification of Springsteen as an "American icon" is highly subjective at best. All his best work was twenty years ago. And the Republicans aren't doing anything different than the Democrats have done. I seem to recall a resolution coming up in the Congress during the Clinton Administration honoring Mel Gibson. The Democrat leadership shot it down because Gibson is right of center.

I did find this kind of amusing:

Springsteen endorsed Kerry last year, and made campaign appearances that drew huge crowds who came to hear music described in the resolution as "a cultural milestone that has touched the lives of millions of people."

Way to soft-pedal it, Donna. Sprinsteen didn't just endorse and campaign. He was involved in some of the worst of the hate America, hate Bush rhetoric before during and after the campaign. Congress has no business honoring someone who spews that kind of venom.

As Laura Ingraham says, "Bruce, just shut up and sing."
