God Bless The USA

As a favor to a friend I put up a video feed from HOI19 news of George Bush’s visit to Peoria on my YouTube account. Based on previous comments to my videos, I figured I’d get a bunch of few Bush slams mixed in with some personal attacks, but my first comment was curveball, if not a wildpitch.

[aside - I don't mind putting up vidoes on YouTube under my name for others as long as it's not of Cousin Jeb shooting frogs at the lake house with his shotgun or the family reunion featuring a drunken Uncle Joe staring at his neice's cleavage.]

We are so happy to have Schock and Bush fighting those of us in the higher tax brackets. I’m so sick of paying taxes that get wasted by people on welfare. They don’t deserve a decent standard of living because they don’t even want to achieve. I lost the use of my legs, and I achieved anyway! It’s a shame I didn’t have time to attend. I would have loved to see Lee Greenwood. Wow — Lee Greenwood!!!

Are you kidding me?

“I would have loved to see Lee Greenwood”

I can’t imagine spending $500 to see President Bush, or anyone else for that matter with the possible exception of Pete Townshend solo in a small club and only then if the proceeds went to charity … but to be so excited to see Lee Greenwood!?

Wow — Lee Greenwood!!!

Can you say too much enthusiasm? Look, I’m proud to be an American too, but c’mon, this guy was the headliner at the Pekin Marigold Festival in 2000, and if you’ve ever been to the Pekin Marigold Festival, you know that’s not a great gig. Granted, it was prior to 9/11 and he didn’t bring the President with him, but the admission couldn’t have been more than $5 and I doubt he had 1,400 people there.

“I would have loved to see Lee Greenwood. Wow — Lee Greenwood!!!”

Good Grief.

    Lee Greenwood actually put on a really good show. I’d pay a decent amount to see him!

    I thought the Lee Greenwood part was the least offensive part of that comment.

    The guy lost the use of his legs, he’s probably just angry. Don’t get too offended, I’m sure welfare will survive.

    Who the hell is Lee Greenwood?

    When are you going to post a video of “the bend” coming in off I-74 on your youtube account?

    Didn’t you hear that Lee Greenwood was granted a “no bid contract” by the administration shortly before the invasion of Iraq? The contract gives him exclusive performance rights at all Presidential & RNC events as well as an option to headline the 4th of July festival of his choosing.

    Contract expires Jan 20, 2009.
