If Bobby Brown was President (shudder), he might justify the NSA wiretapping in song, "I don't need commission, make my own decisions. That's my prerogative."Hm.
And if rapper Ice Cube were Bobby Brown's press secretary, he could respond to Helen Thomas or Cindy Sheehan or Maureen Dowd...:
A B***h iz a B**h,That is, of course, only if Ice Cube were Press Secretary in a Bobby Brown-led White House.
whether poor or rich (word up!)
I'm talking the exact same pitch!
Not the title "b***h", nor applied to all women.
(But all women got a little b***h in 'em.
It's like a disease that plagues their character,
plagueing the women of America,
and it starts with the letter "b",
makes a girl like that think she's badder than me.
See, some get mad, and some just bear it,
but yo, if the shoe fits, wear it.
It makes 'em go deaf in the ear, that's why
when you say "hi", she don't say "hi".
Are you the type that thinks you're too damn fly?
B***h eat s**t and die!
Ice Cube coming at [Ms. Thomas/Sheehan/Dowd] at a crazy pitch,
I think a b**tch iz a b***h.
Or "White Hizzy", as the case may be.

Oh, to live in a republic with Whitney Houston as your first lady.
Posted by: Tim at December 20, 2005 02:10 PMWhitney Houston 15-20 years ago, not the drug addled National Enquirer frequent guest star she is today.
I do have to say, in the episode of Silver Spoons where she was the guest star and their butler fell in love with her, she was hawt (as best as this then 14 year old can remember today). But then Linda Gray was a cutie too.
Posted by: Bill C at December 20, 2005 02:20 PMAnd if a competent person were President, we wouldn't have any need for songs excusing gross abuse of power blaming Maureen Dowd and Cindy Sheehan for things completely outside thier control...or have to put up with a sad, sexist rant posed in the guise of prose.

Posted by: pb at December 20, 2005 02:26 PMI'll make that unanimous, Peeb. Linda Gray should have been on that fake news channel.
Cause she was a FOX!
Posted by: angryclown at December 20, 2005 02:43 PMAh, I think I see the problem.
Peeb - the example is *hypothetical*; Bobby Brown is *not* in fact the President; Ice Cube is not *actually* the Press Secretary.
There is the added intentional absurdity of juxtaposing Bobby Brown - an east coast new-jack R&B artist - with Ice Cube, a west coast gangsta rapper; to harness the repellent force of such a union would power most of the midwest.
It should go without saying that your own satirical comment about the *real* President is taken as a joke as well.
Posted by: mitch at December 20, 2005 02:51 PM"Whitney Houston 15-20 years ago, not the drug addled National Enquirer frequent guest star she is today."
No, no, no! I MEANT the drug-addled Whitney. What's the point otherwise?
Posted by: tim likey druggy whitney at December 20, 2005 02:56 PMNo, no, no, PB. You have to give it the full PB treatment. Here, let me give you a hand:
Linda Gray had a certain good looking quality that was unsullied by the disastrous policies put in place by the corrupt and fascist Reagan administration. The Iran-Contra scandal obviously took a toll on the beautiful acress, as most conservative agendas tend to suck the life and beauty out of all things. Continual wire-tapping of the Gray household by the Bush Sr. administration--which mercifully only had four years with which to totally trash this once-great nation--made Linda grow even more bitter and cold, and the lines clearly can be seen spreading across her care-worn face by 1992. A short-live spark seemed to ignite Linda under the Clinton administration, during which time she starred in Models, Inc.
I'm going to get off topic here and rant about the treasonous actions of this current White House administration. Did you know Bush wasn't even elected in 2000? How the rest of the world doesn't think like me, I honestly don't think I'll ever understand. Why, just the other day I was thinking about myself and how right I always am, and I thought "you know, I'm going to go back to that Berg fellow's site and explain to whoever will read my meandering musings why I'm so incredibly correct."
Back to Linda Gray who, if we were to accept the conventional wisdom, is a female. Females, as you well know, are under-represented in the upper echelons of big business, as there is a glass ceiling in place preventing most women from achieving CEO and CIO-level titles. This is because of a conservative ethos in America that treats races and genders differently and, in many cases, unfairly. George W. Bush is single-handedly repsonsible for most of this.
Now, it is at this point in my narrative that I would expect most people to have dozed off, or to otherwise have gone off to do actual workplace work, but that typically doesn't stop me, because I'm a pretty good typist, so this dreck rolls off my fingers almost automatically. If the Bush administration had their way, I'm sure they'd find a way to wire-tap my fingertips, so they can see exactly what I'm typing at any given time.
So, in summation, I would like to say that, if it weren't for so many years of Republican dominance of the Presidency, Linda Gray would still be smoking hot today. You can check out my 987 page examination of this issue at your local library, in the "Rarely, if Ever, Read" section.

*ahem* PB, you been SERVED!!!
or something.
Posted by: mike at December 20, 2005 03:04 PM"(A)ny time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution."
President GW Bush April 2004

So which is it, we need a court order or not? I'm just asking.

Posted by: Flash at December 20, 2005 03:16 PMThat would be "White Hizzouse"
And not to pick, but that would be Snoop Dogg, not Ice Cube.
Posted by: Jim P at December 20, 2005 03:33 PMJim P,
You have, again, come close to tripping into the essential absurdity of the satire. "Hizzy" and "Hizzouse" are indeed in the mien of Mr. Dogg, not Ice Cube (better known for statements like "Life Ain't Nothin' But Benzos and Hos" and "F**k Da Police", among other seminal exhortations).
However, they are linked via their mutual avatar, Dr. Dre, bandmate of Mr. Cube from NWA, and producer of Mr. Dogg's early work.
However, well played, Mr. P. Well played indeed.
Posted by: mitch at December 20, 2005 03:39 PMVery funny, Ryan! But way to close to reality....I guess. I don't actually read PB's long crapola.
Posted by: Colleen at December 20, 2005 04:08 PMFools! The hottie from Silver Spoons was Erin Gray, not Linda Gray!
Linda Gray portrayed JR's wife on "Dallas." While she may have been attractive in her day, she had a more mature look, by virtue of being nearly a decade older than Erin.

Posted by: pb at December 20, 2005 06:10 PMNO pb, NO!!!! Please don't go! I'm sorry! We can change! Really we can! How's this:
Posted by: Kermit at December 20, 2005 07:02 PM(Ahem) Universal Health Care, NOW! Bush is a war criminal! AngryClown is really funny, not just self indulgent! Mitch Berg is a poopyhead! Air America is a Great institution!
There's more to life than vacuum hoses and lubricant. Stay true to the cause, man.
