A pop video depicting George Michael apparently trying to have sex with Cherie Blair is reportedly to be released with his new single.

Shoot The Dog, out this week, depicts the singer dressed in a leopard-print thong, trying to approach the Prime Minister's wife.

Tony Blair is also depicted in the video portrayed as a poodle to President George W Bush.

Michael told the Daily Mirror he is concerned about the growing relationship between the Prime Minister and President Bush.

He said: "It occurred to me that Britain was starting to become a more dangerous place than it used to be for that reason.

"I simply wanted to write a song that said to everybody, 'People, let's be aware of this situation and understand there are some very pissed off people out there, and that America - and us, for that matter - need to start to listen to them a litt le'."

He says he cried when he saw the terrorism attacks on September 11, but feels he has to question America and Britain's attitude in the aftermath.

He said: "I've been advised that radio stations that rely on Government licences might ban it - but I want it heard, not banned.

"It could get slated, it could land me right in the shit. But I hope it just gets people debating.

"Because there's never been a more important time to talk than now."

Ah, the last refuge of the has-been; shock. Doesn't he have an appointment at a park bathroom somewhere?

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

its shocking he is trying to bang a chick

[Senator Pardek]

I find the idea of George Michael trying to have sex with a woman shocking, too!

[Senator Pardek]

Pardek - always a day late, dollar short.

[Paul Atreides]

I don't know....have you see Cherie Blair?

Debating? Hey, Michael, are you aware of what Al Qaude thinks of gays?

[Paul Atreides]

He's just in a snit because Liza is taken.

I have never understood how combating terrorism is more chilling that terrorists killing thousands of innocent people. But, I'm sure Georgette is one of those people who would abolish the military to pay for AIDS funding of sex workshops.

He must have been accosted in a bathroom stall somewhere lately.

Why are so many English rock stars such sissy queers? George Michael, Elton John, Boy George, etc., etc. Must be something in the water over there.

Tony Blair is also depicted in the video portrayed as a poodle to President George W Bush.

Apparently the video has one redeeming scene.

[Paul Atreides]

Well, their leader is a Queen. ;-)

LOL - Sam - I used to think you were cool! Save for some of Elton's earlier stuff, there's nothing rock about them...

[willyboyishere]

every inch the girly-man. But he does seem to have a lot
of original stuff to say on the subject--things we possibly
haven't heard before.....

[Senator Pardek]

Well, their leader is a Queen. ;-)

OK - Freddie Mercury is a bona fide rocker, but he was not born in the U.K.

[SamAdams76]

Sorry. Should have wrote "pop" stars. But even that is debatable.

George, you've been in the s**t for a long time already. If fact, isn't that where you got busted?

[Paul Atreides]

Oh, I don't know...I imagine they get popped quite often.

Desperately straining for relevance after countless jokes about his public restroom proclivities, George Michael takes one more unintentional step towards the inevitable reunion with Andrew Ridgely.
