New York, NY -- Rolling Stone magazine is coming under fire for featuring a mock interview with former President George W. Bush in its latest issue.

“Why don’t they mock all the infants that Obama tried to kill.”

Because Obama is too “cool” to mock, and too black to criticize.

Fewer each month, which is why they resorted to this stunt.

The irony is Rolling Stone needs George W Bush, or at least thinks it does, to remain afloat financially.

Its pretty amusing, and revealing, when you think about it.

I remember Rolling Stone Magazine. Didn’t they feature the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers?

Is anyone surprised? We’ve been watching their kind mock Terri for years. There used to be a large gaggle of them right here. Not so much any more, but we do still see one once in a while.

I don't buy it. But I do tend to read it at the barber shop.

Imagine how many poor wittle trees get killed just so trash publications like Rolling Stone can be produced.

I wonder too. Rolling Stone stopped being relevant in the mid-'70s when their critics said that every Led Zeppelin album stank while praising every lousy Elvis Costello album that came out as the greatest musical accomplishment since Mozart.

"Music journalists love Elvis Costello and hate me because all music journalists look like Elvis Costello" -- David Lee Roth, Van Halen.

Exactly, we had a bunch of people who claimed to be conservatives who were ecstatic about Terri’s murder, why should we expect liberals to behave any differently.

Funny thing is that the moment that issue hit my house (times two, both of my teenage sons get it), I immediately contacted that rag and told them to cancel both subscriptions. I also told them to shove their magazine where the sun doesn’t shine.
