No Rock And Roll Fun

DID ANYONE THINK THIS THROUGH?: We were a little surprised to see coverage of Bush's public appearance in front of the faithful of Florida on the Ten O'Clock News last night: there he was, the President Who Will Keep Your Family Safe bounding around the stadium to the sounds of Gary Glitter.

Now, we know that Glitter's fall from grace and exposure as a habitual user of child porn hasn't affected the popularity of Rock & Roll at American sports events, but you'd think the Republicans would have had a better handle on their organisation than to allow Bush to appear with the apparent ringing endorsement of a paedophile playing proudly behind him.
