For The Byrds

Singer songwriter David Crosby, formerly of the band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and before that the Byrds, recently spent some time with Hardball's Cris Mathews on MSNBC. Had this to say about our young soldiers.....

"You know, on the one hand you've got a young kid who is patriotic, who loves his country, believes in it, and he's being told, 'Yeah this is the truth, and we've gotta go in there to protect your mother and your sister.' And he goes over, and he finds out the job is killing somebody else's mother and sister."

Graham Nash, a co-guest, was in clear agreement, labelling the President as...

"Emperor"

Chris Mathews, responsible for the shows content made no attempt to quiet the effluent flowing from the musicians mouths.

• What is it us as the media's audience that permits such an affront to the truth? Here is a man who did so much drugs and alcohol that his liver quit. The judgement of such a person should not be held out as an example to the public as rational or even insightful. This rat bastard lives by the grace of some regular person, who if even opposed to the war, had enough sense not to be a deceptive asshole.
• And for Graham Nash, the Hollies did freakin bubble-gum music. Hey Carrie Ann, did you know Graham Nash was an asshole? Nash, you were brought to CSN&Y for the high notes, unless you are singing, keep your bloody mouth shut. By the way, are you a legal resident?
• For those of you familiar with GOPU, the Davis Cup title is named for the classically inappropriate Rob V. Davis.
