Springsteen Calls for Impeachment of Bush

Springsteen wove strong criticism of the administration of President Bush into the first of the final three shows at Shea Stadium on Wednesday night, playing a recording of Bush talking about weapons of mass destruction, questioning America's motives for the war in Iraq and calling for Bush's defeat as he seeks re-election next year.

"It is time to impeach the president and put in somebody that knows what they're doing," the musician, known as "The Boss," told the crowd.

Heading into the hit "Born in the U.S.A.," he said: "The question of whether we were misled into the war in Iraq isn't a liberal or conservative or Republican or Democratic question, it's an American one.

[talleyman]

LOL!
"Born to Run? Better start..."

[Nachum]

I've never liked Springsteen. His name should be OVER RATED". I've never bought his music and turn his crap off when it comes on the radio.

The worst is at Holiday time when the jocks play his incredibly stupid rendition of Santa Clause is Comin' to town". He is a boor.

Just shut up and go away.

IIRC...this moron never finished high-school and never worked a day in his pathetic life. Who cares what he has to say?

and BTW...his music is horrible. He has no talent whatsoever.

The more I hear it, The more I see it, the less safe I feel with Dems in Power... screw sprintsteen, just and old singer who is trying to make a comeback, and just another celeb who knows nothing about foreign policy and world affairs, and Domestic Policy, and would rather have a man in power who would let The Terrorists escape, and keep a lunatic in power, then liberate and free a people. Go Bush, great man, great guy, great Leader, God Bless this country, God Bless America, and all the Men and Women who serve to protect America and Her people.

Its all part of the liberal's grand illusion that only they can be sensitive, only they can be creative, only they can be intelligent enough to understand the complexity and nuance of the human condition.

At least that's what I thought when I was one.

But with the help of my twelve step program, my LA meetings and my friends at Free Republic I'm recovering one day at a time.

Sure, I have the urge now and then to arch an eyebrow and look over the top of my glasses and say "Oh really?" when I hear a conservative say something especially incisive but I resist, I reach in my pocket and grab the Charles Heston signature silver bullet I got for joining the NRA and repeat the serenity prayer....

The urge passes and reality returns.

Charles = Charlton (of course)

"It is time to impeach the president and put in somebody that knows what they're doing." -- Bruce Springsteen

Hmm.. That's genius, Bruce. That sounds like code for wanting the President replaced with someone that matches your leftist world views. Hmm, let's run down the list...

President Bush is impeached and removed from office.. Due to line of succession -- and assuming magical impeachment and removal of every Administration official you can think of -- go ahead and choose your president, "Boss"...

President Richard B. Cheney
President John Dennis Hastert
President Theodore F. Stevens
President Colin L. Powell
President John W. Snow
President Donald H. Rumsfeld
President John D. Ashcroft
President Thomas J. Ridge
President Gale A. Norton
President Ann M. Veneman
President Donald L. Evans
President Tommy G. Thompson
President Norman Y. Mineta
President Spencer Abraham
President Roderick Paige
President Anthony J. Principi

Aerosmith is taking the Arlen Specter route, they are voting "Not Proven".

Bruce Springsteen is the Barbra Streisand of rock 'n' roll.

[WillowyDame]

[Revolting cat!]

Hmm, that really tips the scale when another lucky simpleton high school dropout tells us what we must do, we really must!

[longfellow]

I was just thinking, send some of Bruces albums to Mark David Chapman then let him out.

Springsteen is and has always been an overrated, no talent, horrible voice scumbag. The only thing he did well was write pretty decent songs. He should stick to it and,as Laura Ingraham says, Shut Up and Sing, or as I'd say, STFU.
