Inaugural Niceties

With an uplifted voice, and in words that may well ring through the ages, the lead singer of Fuel had this to say at the inaugural youth concert:

"Welcome to the greatest ----ing country in the world."

Don't get me wrong. I like the guy's patriotism (also called jingoism in liberalese). But to have the attention of millions, to appear on national television, to have the honor of performing at a concert celebrating a president's inauguration--this was the best he could do?

Wouldn't George Washington be proud?
