Obama Ain’t Down With Ludacris’ ‘Offensive’ Lyrics
In a new track attacking Obama critics, rapper Ludacris refers to Hillary Clinton as a “bitch” calling her “irrelevant,” says President Bush is “mentally handicapped,” and later says McCain doesn’t belong in “any chair unless he’s paralyzed.”
Obama’s campaign was not impressed with the new song, which appears on the rapper’s latest mixtaep Gangsta Grillz: The Preview.
The presidential hopeful’s campaign said Luda “should be ashamed of these lyrics,” and blasted the track all together.
“As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Sen. Clinton, Rev. Jackson, Sen. McCain and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
Ludacris has been a big supporter of Sen. Obama since the beginning, and the presidential candidate even said Luda was one of the “great talents and great businessmen” in hip-hop in a past interview with Rolling Stone. He even met privately with Ludacris in Chicago in 2006, before announcing his plans to run for president.
Despite the support, Obama won’t stand by these types of lyrics. Damn Luda, was that a ploy for attention?

Hmm, which is it, eh?
Cheech & Chong Reunite For Comedy Tour
Pot head comedians, Cheech and Chong, recently announced that the duo will reunited for their first comedy tour in more than 25 years.
Cheech told the Associated Press that he and Chong “looked at each other going, ‘If we’re ever going to do something it has to be now because you’re not getting any younger and neither am I.’”
The duo, who broke up amid creative differences, have tried to reunite before, but have always fought too much. Marin laughed and said: “It takes about three minutes for that to happen. There’s this veiled hatred.” But he added: “We’ve kind of resolved that.”
“We’ve gotten to the age where we don’t feel like fighting anymore because the end is a lot closer than the beginning,” he said.
Tour details are to come.

Sure Miley, we all know you were trying to hate. Don’t be jealous because Selena is dating a Jonas brother and you’re not … anymore.
