Wounded Vets Upset at Bush Insult During Vets Inaugural Ball Concert? Publius' Forum ^ | 1/22/09 | Warner Todd Huston

While performing at the inaugural ball honoring America's military veterans, some wounded vets are reported to have walked out on funk Musician George Clinton over a perceived on stage insult to George W. Bush. (Seen here in his mugshot from his 2003 arrest for possession of cocaine)
The Washington Times is reporting that during the Heroes Red, White and Blue Inaugural Ball a white towel with the word "[Expletive] GEORGE" spelled out on it was displayed by band members of George Clinton and the P. Funk All-Stars.
Some veterans felt the display was an insult to George W. Bush, and one band member quickly pulled the sign down when it was noticed that wounded vets were leaving in disgust. Band members denied that the sign was any reference to the President and said that it was supposed to be a sign to their own band leader, George Clinton.

Good stuff Shauna. I’m very happy to announce that you have passed the troll exclusion test with flying colors. We often get hit and run posters that try to inject something or other of a leftist bent into our normal conversations and never show up again. Its nice to see you answering each of the criticisms one by one and backing up your post.
I’m sure many others would agree you’re welcome here any time with your straight, concise and to the point posts. Cheers, and keep on rocking.
I like your music.
Don’t care for the sign, whoever it was meant for.
I do really have to disagree with you regarding this statement:
there is nothing to fear but fear itself!
There is much to fear in this world. Evil does exist.
We should fear it, but need to acknowledge it in order to fight it.
Still waitin’ for the Mothership.
thanks Lefty, I am always interested in a new perspective, the thoughts of others, and I find this forum quite interesting. I will drop in from time to time to hear what you all are thinking. Thanks for making me feel welcome. And please stop by a show if you have the opportunity. We will be touring all over the US this year, as usual.
it’s comming, and sooner than later!!!
LOL!!!!!! I want that as a poster on my wall........!!!!!!

Anytime Shaunna. Seeing as how I’m in Tokyo, the chances of making it to a Stateside show are slim. :) Let me know when you come to Japan, as I’m also a concert photographer for a lot of bands out here.
