although, from musicians and actors, you're right, Bush gets tons more bashing obviously I kinda missed your point sorry

lol Clinton had much more bashing! Think about it, Bush lied about the reasons for invading Iraq, had illegal wiretaps, and got re-elected, Clinton lied about a blow job and nearly got impeached!!!

And somehow, I think if Clinton was in Bush's shoes, he wouldn't receive this much bashing. It all comes down to the fact that Hollywood is all Democrats.

Catchy? This song totally blows. Definitely worse than Conor's earliest work. And that's saying a lot, because that s*** can barely be classified as music.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with the genius comment. Especially when he played this song on live TV wearing a cowboy outfit.

Very good song. And boo to you for whoever say that criticizing bush is a "fad". That's just stupid. I'll stop with that "fad" when that fuck up isn't the "most powerful man on Earth".
