Sweet Neo Con

The biggest surprise. We thought Mick was an old Thatcherite. But here he
sticks it to Bush and co right between the eyes. ''You say you are a Christian , I think you are a hypocrite,'' he spits in the opening line to a tune a little like Dylan's "Masters Of War", while the chorus sneers, ''How come you're so wrong, my sweet neo-con.'' A Virgin spokeswoman in the US has already put out a panicky statement denying it's about Bush or anyone on the White House (can't risk upsetting Clear Channel, can we?). But if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

I've always assumed that Mick Jagger espoused some kind of center-left "Third Way" political philosophy along the lines of Tony Blair. He's certainly no ignorant fool -- he attended the renowned London School of Economics (known for its generally leftist slant) before embarking on his musical career.

I think Laura Ingraham's dictate applies here:

"Shut up and sing, Mick."
