Pop Star Pink Attacks Bush in New Song ‘Dear Mr. President’

The ‘artist’ known as Pink has joined the lengthy laundry list of stuck-up Hollywood celebrities shooting their mouths off about President George W. Bush. A song off her new album ‘I’m Not Dead Yet’ (sadly) called ‘Dear Mr. President’ (her originality speaks volumes) attacks President George W. Bush for among other things ‘No Child Left Behind’ (something we surprisingly agree on but then again that is what happens when you let Ted Kennedy and compassionate conservatism run amok), his religious views on abortion and same-sex marriage [Here are the lyrics: “What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away / And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay”] (Pink sees herself as ‘bisexual’ – in other words she wants to have her cake and eat it too without facing the consequences of actually making a mature choice), the war in Iraq (what kind of liberal rant would it be without it), and, hypocritically, his supposed past drug and alcohol abuse (I would like to think she done plenty of both so I can't understand why she's criticizing him about it).
