Those classy Republicans!
Confronted with the truth, drunken Republicans riot:
Remind you of anything? Like the "bourgeois riot" in Florida?
We'll be waiting for the editorials about how drunken thuggery and portends the end of civilization as we know it....
And what about that hotel official who declined to be identified? You'd think they'd be anxious to be—upholding the honor of their corporation, and all that. Not to mention the First Amendment...
"[The Las Vegas Aladdin Casino and Resort] decided to remove her from the property after she dedicated a song to Michael Moore. This angered our guests who spilled their drinks and demanded their money back," [a hotel official who declined to be identified] said.
The liberal Ronstadt, 58, a 10-time Grammy Award-winner and an icon of the politically-agitated 1970s, praised Moore as a "great American patriot" who "is spreading the truth."
She also dedicated the song "Desperado" to Moore and urged the audience to go and see "Fahrenheit 9/11," which mercilessly slams Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq and his handling of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
According to local media, members of the 4,500-strong audience stormed out of the concert hall, tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.
Hotel president Bill Timmins then ordered security guards to escort Ronstadt off the premise, even denying her access to her suite.
