A scheduled appearance by vulgar rock-rapper Kid Rock at a Bush inauguration concert hosted by Bush daughters Jenna and Barbara has shocked conservative supporters.

The rapper’s lyrics often focus on the recreational nature of sex and send a message of female sexual exploitation. In 2000 he appeared in a porn film with well-known porn stars, and he was named the Sluttiest Male Celebrity by MTV.

According to Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, the White House has sent a shocking statement to the millions of families who supported his re-election.

"Kid Rock is an inexcusable choice,” Wildmon said. "His music lyrics serve to teach our young men to disrespect women in a most vile, self serving manner. There's no compassionate conservatism in that philosophy.”

"Obviously, someone on the Presidential Inauguration Committee has made an extremely poor judgment call. The Committee should cancel this invitation immediately,” Wildmon said.

Kid rock was chosen to appear because he was a supporter of President Bush's re-election campaign.

Is it The Coopster?

It sounds like the President is trying to appeal to the Libertarian wing of the Republican party.

Kid Rock showing up at the Inaugural is the President trying to appeal to those that believe in conservative limited government? You're kidding right?

[Howlin]

It is!

[exnavychick]

I dunno, but I know he's got the al-key-haul! LOL

[JeffAtlanta]

Who has that "Holier-Than-Thou" ping list?

Hey, I keep trying to get on that list! :-)

[exnavychick]

P.S. I'm still waiting to find out why the religious right has more say over who performs at an inaugural function than the rest of the folks who worked on Bush's re-election.

So far, crickets.

[Howlin]

Jeff, honey, since that list is MOCKING the Holier than thou-ers, I think you ARE on it; you're certainly not one of them.

[Gabz]

You beat me to it!!!!!!!!!!

[exnavychick]

It seems like they've declined to comment further, though. I'm not sure if that's good or bad yet.

[FierceDraka]

Thanks. I had to kick in the doors and let 'em have it with both barrels.

But I get mad as hell when we're fighting to keep our liberties from being crushed under the liberal yoke, only to be cursed and derided as "sinners" and "hell-bound heathens" by people who should be on the same side as I am.

[Ginifer]

Ping....per your request.

[exnavychick]

No kidding. Sometimes, they sound just as eager to curtail our liberties as our political enemies...not to mention the terrorist ones.

Grrrr. You done good, though. :)

[exnavychick]

LOL. Thanks. :)

[Gabz]

Cool.......

I think you need to add FierceDraka to the list........if that is Ok with FierceDraka.......is it?

[LisaMalia]

Have never heard this one. Thanks for posting the lyrics.

[Gabz]

I am extremely impressed with your "rant".......well said, FRiend, well said.

[codyjacksmom]

Good evening...what do we have here tonight? I'll try to catch up. Thanks for the ping Ginifer!!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I like Kid Rock and I am no Libertarian.

Per Christopher Walken, someone tell Wildmon to stop being such a Stiffie Stifferson.
--

People like Wildmon bother me because they want to push people out of the party. We work so hard to attract people and then these people think they own the party and are the final arbiter of who's a Republcian and who isn't.

Adults can listen to whatever music they want. If the problem is kids listening to it, put a parental advisory on it.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Am I on that list? Hehee!
