Didn't Brucie Boy also endorse Al Gore and Traitor John Kerry both loooooosers.

As the covers are pulled back off of Obama it is starting to reveal a lot of Shiite.

PA is a lot like NJ, where Bruce is still idolized (for whatever reason), so I would think this would help.

Well, that should just about wrap things up. Hillary and McCain may as well fold up the tent and go home!

That’s right, Boss. Let’s go back to the future.

Springsteen, although I do enjoy his music, has turned out to be such a wanker.

Bruce, please be quiet and sing.

Thanks so much.

So is Bruce jockeying for the front of the line to the whitey death camps or the back?

I believe Springsteen was exactly who Alice Cooper had in mind when he made his famous statements about idiots who look to rock stars for political advice.

I do not remember the exact statement, but to paraphrase:
Rock stars stay up until 4 a.m. and sleep until noon. They know nothing about national events and politics and the only people dumber about these topics are those who look to them for political advice.

For the most part, entertainers live and work in a make-believe world which includes drugs, promiscuous sex and compensation which far, far exceeds what they contribute. It is only natural that they support candidates who live and work in the same kind of alternative universe of politics.

Never understood the fame he acheived, especially on the east coast.

He was always an over rated garage band leader

I don’t think we should be too hard on old Bruce,he has a talent for writing little pop ditties and has made the most of it.The farce here is that there are actually people who care what he thinks about politics and that the AP thinks it’s a story.

Brucie you idiot, you be the Boss, and you wait until after the New Jersey primary to endorse Barry, you be so big in New Jersey, you could have won it single handed for Uncle Jeremiah’s favorite nephew.

“””Who’s Bruce Springsteen? Does he have magical or superhuman powers? Does he have extensive domestic & foreign policy experience?””””

Come now.... you know darn well that the people at the Pentagon, the CIA, the commanders and generals of our military, the whole lot of the experienced people that make up the Defense Dept....all these people know absolutely NOTHING about foriegn policy.
You know that actors and musicians and 19yearold kids blogging from mom’s basement are the real foriegn policy experts. Look no farther than drunken snobbish hollywood actors for the way a country should be run.

Personally, I can go to the breakroom here at work and instantly become an expert on foriegn policy.

...and I think the sarc tag would be redundant....

Really? I don't remember Bruce singing about "God Damn America" nor signing about whitey spreading AIDS to the black man. Which album is that on?

He had a concert back in the mid 90's here in Philly, where he went on one of his rants and talked about "those God Damned Republicans"...
