Kid Rock, the vulgar rock-rapper who initially had been lined up to headline the youth concert next week as part of the inauguration festivities for President Bush, will not be apppearing after all.

"He's not performing," a spokesman for the Presidential Inauguration Committee confirmed for WND.

I can't believe they are doing this to the Kid. After all, he is a mainstream typical republican. No morals, no class, no talent, and no taste.

[Ian David]

1. I have to side with the fundies on this one

He really isn't the sort of "family oriented" performer expected at a rally for a pResident who has destroyed over 100,000 innocent families in Iraq.

I mean, isn't singing about oral sex much worse than simply bombing children into oblivion?

[Kurovski]

17. Lenny Bruce once said

something about his preference for having his kids watch a movie where a guy places a pillow under a woman's ass, instead of smothering her with it.

As for Kid Rock, appearing at the royal festivities seemed to put a damper on Ricky Martin's career.

He shouldn't chance it. Particularly if the draft starts anytime soon, his career is likely to suffer.

Just guessing.

[UdoKier]

21. Ricky Martin will be there?

My wife was a big fan of his (although I can't stand him). She'll be very disappointed...

[Kurovski]

23. Martin appeared at the first crowning

George even shook his "bon-bon" with Ricky for a brief, but remarkable moment.

[nashville_brook]

22. a demographic re-thinking sounds about right,

i happen to kinda like the kid. redneck hip hop is a spectacle to behold.

[Kurovski]

25. A good show, is a good show.

no matter what the politics.

[warrens]

2. I thought he perfectly represented the Republican party

For the reasons you cited. Sigh. Maybe they can get the Nuge.

And no, he can't play guitar at all, if you have ever seen him live.

[Bono71]

4. The Nuge...lol.

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Hmmm.....maybe this'll cause Kid Rock to turn. Yay!

And then, maybe, just maybe, we can get Jen and Brad back together.

[UdoKier]

7. No, really, honestly and truly. I don't want him.

I can stand having Howard Stern on our side. At least he's OCCASIONALLY funny.

I have never seen Kid Rock do anything that wasn't completely awful. I can't even stand to look at his ugly mug.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. I know. I was kidding.

I think it'd suck if he were to turn against the GOP, cuz then I wouldn't be able to smirk and say, "boy, I hate it when entertainers get political...." in reference to Kid Rock whenever a freeper-type gets into a discussion with me.

But the Pitt/Aniston thing; that was completely sincere.

[Kurovski]

27. You don't want him?

What happened to our "big tent"? :-)

[jmowreader]

44. It's not that big

on edit: damn autofill!

[bunny planet]

16. LOL

[medeak]

5. he was terrific at Kennedy Center

doing rendition of "Bennie and the Jets" in tribute to Elton John..

bet if Elton knew he was a repug he would have been pulled.

Love this.. hopefully he's totally smoked and writes a song.

[Mike Daniels]

39. I don't think the honoree has a say in who pays tribute in KC Honors

Besides, I've noticed that most performers are able to put the politics aside when it comes to working with or honoring their own.

John Cougar Mellencamp and Travis Tritt

Sean Penn and Tim Robbins with Clint Eastwood

Just to name a few recent examples of people on different ends of the spectrum who voluntarily managed to work together.

[Buns_of_Fire]

43. "He's got embroidered boots,

An Oxxford suit,
Ya know I read it a magazEEEEEEEeeeeeene... Oh.....
Duh-Duh-Duh-Dubya and his jetssssssssssssssss..."

[NoPasaran]

6. Damnation!

I wonder if I can get a refund for my tickets.

[Moderate Dem]

8. Don't be like the Republicans...

... and accuse anyone whose politics you don't like of being untalented. I run into this all the time from the right wing, and I don't understand it.

[UdoKier]

9. No, I'm calling him untalented because his "music" is crap.

I've always hated Kid Rock. I never knew he was a repuke until this week.

And if Milli Vanilli were democrats, I wouldn't be jumping to their defense - and they were still better than Kid Rock and his filthy sideshow.

[bowens43]

10. It's not his politics that makes him untalented......

his politics only make him an idiot.

[ET Awful]

15. It's his lack of talent that makes him untalented, his politics are just

just proof that he really IS as moronic as he sounds.

[PittPoliSci]

29. Sadly, he's quite talented.

I hate his music, and I hate his politics even more, but the man knows how to play his instrument(s). On his albums, he is the only muscian playing, he has a band with him for the tour only. He's quite talented, but, his music sucks.

[ET Awful]

30. I've heard him play, he's not talented. He's mediocre at best.

I know 14 year olds that play better than he does.

[PittPoliSci]

31. So do I.

But you can't judge someone by talent based on a few songs they've written. Just because I like to play punk rock doesn't mean that I'm limited to only playing that.

[jmowreader]

45. No, he really is untalented

Kid Rock may look like an untalented hack...and sound like an untalented hack...but don't let that fool you. He really is an untalented hack.

[underpants]

12. Shit! He was the perfect coke mule too

Oh well the Bushes can probably get Colin to do it before he leaves.

[tanyev]

13. He's out?

Such a nice young man? The epitome of Republican family values? What a shame. :evilgrin:

[Bridget Burke]

19. Alas, I had hopes he & Jenna would "get together"

Wouldn't a White House wedding be lovely?

[Cha]

14. You are dead on!

"I can't believe they are doing this to the Kid. After all, he is a mainstream typical republican. No morals, no class, no talent, and no taste."

[bunny planet]

18. Awww, no 'Cowboy' for the cowboy's coronation.

[no_to_war_economy]

20. any chance for EMINEM

"Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil"

[electric-eye]

24. What the hell is a "pro-family American" - ?

Committee backs off plan to feature rapper after pro-family Americans express outrage

And if I'm not with them, does that mean I'm an "anti-family" American?

[noamnety]

26. pro-family means they demand that you to have one

and that it matches their specific criteria of what a family is.

If you think the family should be able to earn a living wage and should have basic health care, then yes, you are anti-family.

[Sentath]

37. Family (noun) :

One republican male pair-bonded with one republican female, said relationship sanctioned by a 'main line' or more conservative Christian religious ceremony and bearing one or more offspring (preferably male, preferably more).


( : And of course "If you're not with us, you're against us." : )


/ : Welcome to the club? have a nice day : (

[egoprofit]

28. maybe 'drowning pool' would be more appropriate

they've got the right song.. "let the bodies hit the floor".. i've read that a lot of soldiers jammed that song during the first days of the invasion... seems to fit the whole bush re-election theme.

[mahina]

32. HAHAHAHAHA

I guess that's what they get for letting ideology get in line before they listen to the goddamn words.
Now to get the image af Barbara Bush's saggy fanny out of my mind...thanks a lot Kid for the revolting imagery.
But still - HAHAHAHAHA

hey Bush- PSYCH!!!! Wop yo jaw you f'ing dolt. Hope you loved the lyrics.

[Contrary1]

38. I can't stop laughing at your post...

[mahina]

48. mahalo!

We'll just have to take our giggles where we can find them these days, ya?

[livinginphotographs]

33. Flip-flopper!!!!

n/t

[Kikosexy2]

34. No

Kid-ding--j/k--yuck, yuck, yuck! Well there's always Britney "Bimbo" Spears--she can flash her boobs, lip-synch and chew gum at the same time, right?

[imenja]

36. I wonder if they finally heard his lyrics about pimping Barbara Bush?

The idea of Kid Rock's performing shows the same kind of desperation to appeal to the "younger generation" that was revealed in the Bush twins embarrassing display at the Republican Convention.

[jhain]

35. I love your critique!

"

[Piperay]

40. Good...

they need to put their morals where their big fat mouths are and quit being hypocrites and using a double standard with people who agree with them.

[Swamp Rat]

41. Too bad.... He was PERFECT for the Lizard Cowboy Coronation.

[pdxmom]

42. Wait just a minute!

Isn't it the Bushies who insist they don't make any decisions based on polls??? They always stick by what they decide. Who broke ranks on this one and decided somebody made a <gasp!> mistake???!!!

[txaslftist]

46. Weeeell... He did call Babs a "ho" sort of...

[digno dave]

47. There's no left/right to it...Kid Rock is a dip-shit

I hate it when people equate freedom of speech with freedom of idiocy. If he were a Dem i wouldn't want his greasy ass anywhere near me.

[Menshevik]

49. good

his "music" SUCKS

I hate kid rock
