Bitch Slap to the Chief...

James McMurtry's through bein' subtle.

Just in case you missed McMurtry's point in his 2005 CD Childish Things, which included We Can't Make it Here, a brilliant blow-by-blow stinging rebuke to the insane policies of the Bush Administration and what it's done to this nation, McMurtry's gonna try to get it through your thick skull one more time.

Cheney's Toy calls into question - OK, McMurtry doesn't exactly "call into question." He spells it out. This is one little hard-hitting Freudian tale - the size of our president's penis and George Bush's fear that his inadequacies will be, uhhh, exposed.
You're the man, show 'em what you're made of
You're no longer Daddy's Boy
Ain't you grand, with your guns a blazin'
Bring 'em on, Cheney's Toy

A free download of Cheney's Toy is available here.

McMurtry's pissed off and he wants us to show him we're pissed off too. According to the Web site Country Music Time, McMurtry is giving away the song, which will be part of his next CD in April, for free exclusively through eMusic's Daily Download. The song is also on McMurtry's MySpace page and the Lightning Rod Records website.

Fans can use the free mp3 to create their own videos and post them online.
McMurtry will choose the best videos and post them on his official MySpace page
and website.
Creators of each of the top five video creators will receive
t-shirts and autographed copies of McMurtry's new album, "Just Us Kids" (out
April 15). McMurtry's choice for the best overall video will also receive an 8
Gb Apple iPod nano with video capabilities. Fans can send links to their videos
to mcmurtryvideo@gmail.com.

What is James' problem? The President is trying to protect this nation and its freedom from foreign terrorists bent on killing us all. We're fighting 'em where they are, so we don't have to fight them here! Vote McCain, and Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!
