Columnist calls on rap stars, Paris Hilton to lead revolution
Instead of a celebration of independence, maybe we need a celebration of unity. Maybe we need a massive weeklong Impeach Cheney and Take Back America rally in front of the White House, fueled by celebrities, and heavily promoted by the media, who owe us one big time.Maybe we need Bono and Brad and Angelina there, to focus on the crisis in America and not the crisis in Africa, at least for a few months. James Lileks comments: It's like a neutron star of inanity, that line; like a neutron star, it collapses into a dot so dense that the editor's pen is forever stuck on the event horizon, unable to move forward and cross it out. Maybe we need Martha Stewart and Paris Hilton there, because no one says "reality based" and "superior intellect" quite like Paris Hilton to call on Scooter to do his time like a man. Maybe we need the Dixie Chicks and White Stripes there, and George Clooney and Oprah, and any of the so-called "American Idols" and Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan there, and the younger sports stars and TV stars and rap stars and celebs I've never heard of, to put down their cell phones and Mohitos and hie their well-heeled fannies to D.C. I can imagine the recording sessions now: "Yo! Check it out! George Dubya Bush, he a son of a bitch He an' Dick Cheney otta be im-pitched--" "CUT! You're pronouncing it wrong. It's im=peach, not im-pitch." "'Peach' don't rhyme with 'bitch,' ho!" Maybe we need James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, to speak truth to power, and Maya Angelou to speak strength to cowardice, and for old time's sake, Pete Seeger to lead us in a chorus of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," sparklers and flags all around.
