What an idiot

From the What-Was-He-Thinking file, Ludacris (a guy I respect as an artist and an actor - he ROCKED in Crash and Hustle & Flow) released a rap song (lyrics below) called Politics, which, while intended to flatter Obama, also overtly insults Bush, McCain and Hillary Clinton (calling her a bitch). Of course the Obama campaign had to immediately denounce the song and distance themselves from the singer. Does Ludacris think he's helping his candidate this way? All this does is create a lot of fuss over nothing and distract from Obama's better qualities. Just like Wright - if you want to help, shut the fuck up. The lyrics:

I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
Yeah the best is here,
the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet,
it got sex appeal

Never should have hated
You never should've doubted him
With a slot in the president's iPod
Obama shattered 'em

Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer

Better yet, put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
If you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!

And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man

You can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it's meant to be

The threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed

Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw 'em like candy wrap
'cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents

Get out and vote or the end will be near
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
'cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
