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."

Also, this sounds to me like a gossipy stir-the-pot snipe from Drudge, and the quote is from an unnamed source, so I don't believe it is even true.
AND, I don't think there is anything wrong with laughing a little about Ozzie at the dinner. Greta van Sustern made a big deal about inviting him, no doubt thinking that it would get the Republicans all upset. At least Mr. Osbourne is still married to his wife, and is relatively harmless.
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?
When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
That God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve
Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.
What is jungle lingo?
He WASN'T invited to the Whitehouse. He was invited to the Whitehouse Coorespondents Dinner. I really doubt he will ever be invited to the Whitehouse so hold your panties.
It's an acquired taste, but I get a kick out of it. It certainly beats the heck out of the yahoos up-the-dial in DFW.
Thanks for this info. It *is* quite different than anything I've read on FR and takes time to read through and grasp certain meaning at times. Guess ya kinda have to 'be there' to truly appreciate it, huh? :o)
I couldn't agree more, I thought that SevenofNine was OZzy there for a moment.
OZZIE IS THAT YOU? Are you a freeper?
At least they bleep it out, which I found surprising for that channel.
