"Rocker David Byrne has accused US President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for leading the country the same way the late Saddam Hussein led Iraq."

Actually Chavez and Castro have much more leadership in common with a Stalinist like Saddam Hussein.

Are the critics of Bush so stupid that they think their lives are in danger? CNN LIED for Saddam and covered up reports of his torture and abuse to maintain their Baghdad bureau. This ass clown reminds me of Hunter S. Thompson (writing for ESPN) when he said that the offense at Abu Ghraib were more shocking than the worst Nazi atrocities.

PS has he made up with his bandmates yet or are they still unable to be all peace and love to one another?

Can't say I ever really liked Mr. Byrne. He was great with the Heads, but his solo work and his foray into world music annoyed me.

He always struck me as one of those self-righteous geeks getting his revenge on the jocks who beat him up in high school. Too arty, pretentious and self-important to this (admittedly) arty, pretentious and self-important (Repo)Girl.

His whole schtick was implying to people just how much cooler, sophisticated and with-it he was than the regular slobs. Bleh.
