(Excerpt)

Despite everything, Love believes her predicament is the result of a coordinated financial, legal and personal smear campaign. In a recent interview with London's Sunday Telegraph, she was asked if she bears any responsibility for her current problems.

"The last thing I want to say is, 'I'm a victim', but I am. I believe it's a trickledown from Bush... I should have done an audit. I should have done face-time with people. That is true. But did I bring it on myself? I don't think so."

Ewwwww! Bad visual. No dinner for me tonight.

[Serb5150]

That is hilarious!

[EX52D]

Ha, Ha, Yuck! Thanks for testing my gag reflex...sick tho funny...

I actually do like her work - two of her CDs were in my regular rotation for quite a while, and she has turned in some decent performances in films. She's written sensible things about the recording industry. Courtney Love is no slouch in the brains department, and a free-thinker.

But she is a deeply troubled human being. I think this throw-away line about "Bush trickle-down" is just a sick excuse. I hope she gets sober some day, and makes progress with her other problems.

The sad part is, this is a true statement for tens of thousands.
 

Bingo.

This cretin, who's worth literally millions of dollars (believe it or not), from her capitalistic enterprises is in a position to influence Starbucks baristas, unemployed pierced nitwits, and aging devotees of her dead husband with the shotgun-splattered brains, and their ridiculous, pseudo-sixties belief that the world would be a better place if John Kerry were president in order for untalented, worthless people like Courtney Love to make even more millions on the backs of morons.

She gets my vote for the prime-time slot at the Dem's convention. A great crowd warmer for Hilary!

[EX52D]

Ha, Ha! I like that!

[Grampa Dave]

The rats should have Courtne, Whoopi and Linda to represent the "Heart and Soul of Kerry's America!"

Vegas Casino Boots Singer Linda Ronstadt

LAS VEGAS - Singer Linda Ronstadt (news) not only got booed, she got the boot after lauding filmmaker Michael Moore and his new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" during a performance at the Aladdin hotel-casino.

Before singing "Desperado" for an encore Saturday night, the 58-year-old rocker called Moore a "great American patriot" and "someone who is spreading the truth." She also encouraged everybody to see the documentary about President Bush (news - web sites).

Ronstadt's comments drew loud boos and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.

"It was a very ugly scene," Aladdin President Bill Timmins told The Associated Press. "She praised him and all of a sudden all bedlam broke loose."

Timmins, who is British and was watching the show, decided Ronstadt had to go — for good. Timmins said he didn't allow Ronstadt back in her luxury suite and she was escorted off the property.

Ronstadt's antics "spoiled a wonderful evening for our guests and we had to do something about it," Timmins said.

Timmins said it was the first time he sent a performer packing.

"As long as I'm here, she's not going to play," Timmins said.

Ronstadt had been booked to play the Aladdin for only one show.


Calls to Ronstadt's manager were not immediately returned.


In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal before the show, Ronstadt said "I keep hoping that if I'm annoying enough to them, they won't hire me back."


Looks like she got her wish.

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You might remember me from such movies
as Our Friend the Capital Gains Tax and Hillary! Superstar.
Well ever since George Bush took office, my career has
been in the toilet!"

[ridesthemiles]

Aren't some of these designer drugs great? Makes you believe ANYTHING you want to believe. What a whacko.

[ridesthemiles]

That's FUNNY. and so correct!!!!

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks, I think I was channeling the spirit of Flip Wilson.

[RUCKUS INC.]

Her comment is about as honest as people that say "I don't mean to interrupt but..."

[AngieGOP]

"Smoking crack and shooting up Heroin couldn't have a THING to do with it, could it Courtney??? Naaaaaaah"

Whose fault was it when she shot up heroin and smoked crack prior to the 2000 election?

[tophat9000]

Yea she probably got more yeast in her then the Pillsbury Doughboy

[Zhangliqun]

Is she really that pale? I'm Irish with red hair but if I stood next to her, people would think I was a black man.

[jerri]

I have a relative that blames all her problems on the family. I can only shake my head in disbelief at the denial/ignorance.
