So sorry to hear that Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty is "heartbroken" over Bruce Springsteen's joining other bands on a tour encouraging people to vote against Bush. "I really appreciate his music, but I wish he wouldn't interject his music with politics," said Pawlenty, who happens to be the co-chairman of Bush's re-election campaign in Minnesota.
Maybe Bruce should erase his long and storied career in which he's celebrated and stood up for the little guy, so Pawlenty won't suffer such emotional distress. Maybe he should just go ahead and recant his first amendment rights all together. Yeah.
I've got an idea, Senator. Exercise *your* first amendment right to criticize the Boss if you like--burn his CDs in your back yard if you like--but don't tell him what *to say*.
