LYNN CHENEY: EMBARRASSMENT OVER OZZY FUSS AT WHITE HOUSE DINNER

**Exclusive**

VP wife Lynn Cheney told associates she was "embarrassed" by the commotion surrounding thrash rocker/MTV star Ozzy Osbourne's appearance at this weekend White House Correspondence Dinner in Washington.

"He's hardly someone we should be applauding... not a role model, I am rather embarrassed," Cheney said after the dinner, according to sources.

Osbourne's presence at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night cause a complete sensation. The rocker's Tuesday show on MTV has become one of the most-watched shows on the air among teens.

Cheney has been an outspoken critic of rock and rap lyrics marketed to youth.

Last year Cheney took on rapper Eminem, calling his music "the most extreme example of rock lyrics used to demean women, rock lyrics used to advocate violence against women."

"The thing about Ozzy is, he's made a lot of big hit recordings: "Party With the Animals," "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," "Face in Hell," "Black Skies'' and "Bloodbath in Paradise,'' President Bush joked in his speech before the association.

Osbourne lyrics include from "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath": "God knows as your dog knows; blast all of you. Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, nothing more to do. Living just for dying, dying just for you."

In the 1983 song, Bark at the Moon, Osbourne recited : "Howling in shadows Living in a lunar spell He finds his heaven Spewing from the mouth of hell."

Your communication skills harken back to Planet Of The Apes. Next time try guttural intonations and the banging of stretched hides with twisted branches, you probably will make more sense than attempting the relay of your thoughts with the written word.

Never mind Ozzy. Why should Dubya bother at all with the White House Correspondence Dinner? Bunch of anti-God, anti-American fags. May as well attend a big bash for al Qaeda's top men. Dear Dubya: Hollywood is not your friend. Keep it at arm's length.

Don't hate Oz for supposedly being a Satanist. Hate him for what he really is: a foul-mouthed druggie with a taste for bat tartare. And besides, with that Birmingham accent, how could anybody tell who he's worshipping anyway?

[old blue beemer]

a book about punctuation

or, perhaps, four or five gallons of black coffee ??

Apparently everything's acceptable as long as one is pro-guns and pro-Bush. I'm happy he is both, from all accounts, but some other aspects of his persona are a little too creepy for me.

[oust the louse]

Quite frankly,"I think Lynn's going off the rails on a crazy train"!:) sorry,couldn't resist....

[oldvike]

Mrs. Cheney was in a room filled with Hollywood elites and media scum and she decided to single out Ozzy Osborne? LOL, give me a fricking break.

[Demidog]

Ozzy is a force to be reckoned with. How could Bush not like Ozzy? Looks like Cheney just can't take Bush's taste in music and friends. I wonder what he had to say about Teddy Kennedy....

[SouthernFreebird]

....FREEBIRD!!! Rock On.......... ooops wrong group.....wrong thread

[GoldnGate]

If Lynn was so embarrassed over OZZY ....can you imagine what she felt and said about "The Clintons ???"

[kcpopps]

Ozzy is a HOOT! I gladly add him to my too short list of celebrities who are not afraid to stand up and be seen with the conservative side:

Ozzy Osbourne (?)

Mel Gibson

Tom Selleck

Charleton Heston

Bruce Willis

Drew Carey

Ted Nugent

Chuck Norris

Clint Eastwood, Kurt Russell (libertarians, and that's OK)

Bo Derek

The Rock (?)

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Morgan Freeman, Laurence Fishburne, Denzel Washington (?)

Anyone want to help me make that list longer - thanks.

The fact of the matter is that Ozzy Osbourne glorifies WORSHIPPING SATAN, COMMITTING SUICIDE, and USING DRUGS.

Have you ever read the lyrics to Suicide Solution? It doesn't glorify suicide by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you want the epitomy of anti-war rhetoric in song read War Pigs. To this day, there is nothing that surpasses it.

This is the kind of thing that gives the Pubbies a bad name.

Remember when the Beach Boys were scheduled to play at the innagural ball of Bush-1,and some idiot "brain-trust" at the RNC cancelled their appearance because they thought the Beach Boys were too "wild and radical" for a appearance at a Republican event,and that it would "look bad"? Didn'tthey come up with Wayne Newton as a replacement? How far out of touch do you have to be to come up with crap like that?

He was invited by Greta from Foxnews, not the President. He was tasteful compared to Carville however.

[FreepLady]

The thing I tell my kids about Ozzy is...look at Ozzy and you can see what doing drugs and living the "high" life will do to you in a few years! He is the best "anti drug" ad out there that there is!
