I can't take this CRAP anymore!

I'm so sick and tired of this bullshit favoritism towards an illegitimate, fraudulent fuckhead of a president. Stop the ride, I want to get off!

The daughters of both President Bush and John F. Kerry were unexpectedly greeted with boos along with the expected cheers Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami. But the Bush daughters, Barbara and Jenna, got the better of the exchange because their remarks had been videotaped in advance, and MTV turned down the audience noise while broadcasting their remarks. Alexandra and Vanessa Kerry were not so lucky. Startled and angered by the boos, the Kerry daughters "scowlingly delivered their please-vote talking points," according to the Village Voice. The Kerrys were less provocatively dressed, the magazine reported (it used a naughty word to describe the Bush twins' appearance), but all the women were jeered, "apparently because they weren't LL Cool J."

1. CNN, of all sources, did a reasonably fair job of reporting on this...

Kerry, Bush daughters booed on MTV
Monday, August 30, 2004 Posted: 12:16 PM EDT (1616 GMT)

It was unclear exactly whom the cheers and the boos were meant for or why. They began immediately after radio and MTV personality Carson Daly introduced "from New York, Barbara and Jenna Bush and here in Miami, Vanessa and Alexandra Kerry."

The Kerry daughters were at the event in Miami; the Bush daughters appeared in a pre-recorded video.

Jenna Bush said, "We can all agree on the importance of voting."

MTV's broadcast turned down sounds of the audience during the playing of the video, but the vocal audience could still be heard.

The boos seemed to die down and cheers took their place toward the end of the segment, when the Kerry daughters took back the floor and encouraged people to support victims of Hurricane Charley, which devastated portions of Florida earlier this month.

2. *shrug* MTV is owned by Viacom. Viacom is owned by GE, one of the
most neocon corporations in America.

What WERE you expecting?
