Thursday, October 13, 2005 Trent Reznor Bitchslaps Bush on NOLA StarTribune, MN: Q: You lived and recorded in New Orleans for a long time. How did you react when you heard about the hurricane? A:I couldn't get much work done, b/c I couldn't quit watching TV, b/c I couldn't believe my eyes. I think we've all seen tsunamis, variety of atrocities & terrible situations across the world, but when it's a place that you're intimately familiar with -I lived there for the better part of 14 yrs- to see it just destroyed and to see the people treated in a disrespectful, inhumane way by our govt, it went from disbelief and shock and grieving to just outrage. I don't mean to get on my soapbox. I honestly don't know how many more glaring, crystal clear examples of incompetence and criminal negligence and greed and inhumanity and racism we can see from this administration before we do something about it. I saw that Bush said, "I take responsibility." Well, resign then. Hundreds of people's lives, you killed them, and you killed a city because you put your friends in office. Your transparent agenda is crystal-clear. You can hide behind your homophobia and round people up behind your Bible, which is just a ploy to get your corporate buddies richer and the poor poorer. Then you see people dying on the rooftops. I can go on and on and on." I agree Trent. I'd pay good money to see this administartion hogtied in the Dome and have a few evacuees sing the lyrics "I want to fuck you like an animal" for a few hrs. |
