MINISTRY Mainman: GEORGE W. BUSH Is A 'Loser' - Oct. 25, 2005

Jeff Kerby of KNAC.COM recently conducted an interview with MINISTRY mainman Al Jourgensen. A few excerpts from the chat follows:

KNAC.COM: I've been dying to ask you this since last November — what was running through your mind when you saw the electoral map and state after state kept coming up Bush red?

Jourgensen: "First of all, we were in Nashville that night — a red state. Let me tell you…we were walking around that night because we were on tour, and people were stunned, so as far as did he win the election? No. Did Karl Rove and his minions find a way to tap in to the e-voting system? Yes. I don't think that fucker won again. I'm either in denial or I'm pissed or both. It was creepy."

KNAC.COM: I remember the last time we spoke, and you told me that you had just attended an anti-Bush rally in San Francisco, and at the time you said something to the effect that it was the proudest you had ever been to be an American.

Jourgensen: "Absolutely."

KNAC.COM: Did that make the result that much more suspicious in your mind when all the exit polls taken in the morning seemed to point to an overwhelming Kerry victory?

Jourgensen: "Yeah, by a lot. I'm telling you — Karl Rove and his minions figured out a way to hack the system, and that's why they want to do system reform now on e-voting. It's so scripted man. I'm sick of the Democrats and the Republicans. I just want to blow up everything at this point. I'm just so pissed. I will never forget that night for as long as I live — I was pissed. The new record will definitely be a result of my 'pissedoffness' over the last two years. The candidates are just so obviously manipulated by the special interest groups. It's a shame that it has all boiled down to whether or not a candidate is photogenic or not. It's not even about ideas anymore…it just boils down to how you do in a debate or two. It's all about special interest and putting the right puppet head up in the pulpit."

KNAC.COM: In fact, isn't Bush's legacy going to be largely defined by who he appoints as well as how many judges he appoints to the Supreme Court? Do you think he has a great shot at getting Roe Vs. Wade overturned?

Jourgensen: "I don't think that will ever happen, but what I do think is that his legacy will include the fact that he'll end up with the biggest protests of any sitting President including Johnson and Nixon during Watergate. They'll be protesting the most failed policies ever, and why should this be a surprise? He couldn't even make the Texas Rangers win. He's a loser. Everything he has ever touched…he's an idiot. Let's deal with it, and let's move on."

KNAC.COM: As someone who was able to appreciate Bush's suckitude factor years ago, doesn't it irritate you to see opinion polls finally starting to reflect an attitude that should have been prevalent long ago?

Jourgensen: "Exactly. Like I said, I was devastated on election night. I walked around like a zombie. I almost cancelled my show. I was so freaked out…I was crying. Then I decided to just turn my attention to the mid term elections and the Supreme Court nominees. That's what people need to realize — there is more to it than all the glamour and the glitz of a bunch of stars throwing fundraisers every four years for a Democrat. By the way — that happens to be a party that is equally corrupt. Let's just get on to the business of governing ourselves. That's what the Constitution is for."

What he says about Bush doesn't sound a whole lot different than many of the complainers on this board. The backbiting has been non-stop for weeks. What the left says doesn't surprise me anymore.

[SIDENET]

I'm sick of the Democrats and the Republicans. I just want to blow up everything at this point. I'm just so pissed.

This guy has to be a DUmmie.

[bigmac0707]

Do people care what Ministry has to say about politics enough to change their votes? If they were huge fans of "Psalm 69" I doubt they were going to vote Republican anyway.

[Das Outsider]

One of my all time fav's is an old Ministry disk I got.

Ok....You're either thinking of another band or really throwing me for a loop.

"New World Order" Ministry, right?

[Red Badger]

I love it! The more whack-jobs like these guys get on tv and radio the better it is!.......

[Skooz]

Idiot comment made by an idiot singer of a crappy band.

[Rokurota]

I've never understood how very bitter/angry people like this get up every morning.

Ministry has been using crosses and crescents on their album art for years. Mix that with songs like "Psalm 69," "Jesus Built My Hotrod," and others--you'd almost think they're conservatives!

But then you remember the "New World Order" video, with shots of a guy in an oversized George Bush (41) mask, grabbing his crotch.

Hi All-

Ministry started off as a bubblegum pop band and then their sound turned MUCH heavier over the years. They had a song called "Just One Fix" that was absolutely awesome in a hard-driving sort of way. Haven't heard anything about them in nearly a decade.

Another crying, meathead hippie.

The dumb bastard probably thinks he's being profound.

Like W O W man.............

Who is this twit and why do I care that's he's pi**ed?

[Thrusher]

Al Jourgensen is brilliant. I mean, rocket-scientist, astrophysicist, neurosurgeon brilliant. I mean, just check out the lyrics from "Jesus Built My Hot Rod," one of Ministry's more well-known songs (relatively speaking, that is):

His 'pissedoffness' is apparently very important to...uh...somebody, maybe.

[wallcrawlr]

[wallcrawlr]

yeah, that was a good one.

I have to click passed certain songs and cant listen to much of that music style....but I cheat/sin a little and really like that disk.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Al Jourgensen - wussy heroin addict who likes to act like a tough guy.

Sorry, Al, we haven't forgotten about your sissy album With Sympathy and the candyass songs like "Work For Love" that new wave girls (like every girlfriend I had in high school) would play incessantly.

"I said, 'girl, hey, do it if you dare
where I'd like to go our love will flare'"

Great stuff, Al. Spike up, you've earned it.

[Jhensy]

Here's the quickest way to shut Al up:
