KICKIN' IT, [GRAND] OLD [PARTY] STYLE:

For The Record: Quick News On 50 Cent (MTV News, 11.23.2005)

50 Cent and Kanye West are the only ones selected to be GQ's "Men of the Year" who have no false modesty about it — both of the hip-hop stars justify their big egos in the mag's pages. But they also have more on their minds than just themselves. Like George W. Bush, for one. 50 thinks the president is "incredible ... a gangsta." "I wanna meet George Bush, just shake his hand and tell him how much of me I see in him," 50 told GQ. If the rapper's felony conviction didn't prevent him from voting, 50 said he would have voted for Bush.

So he agrees with all those paleocons and libertarians who call President Bush a two-bit conservative.

And this was on MTV News! Now might it become fashionable to annoy your parents by claiming loyalty to the Republican party? Beats the hell out of Sister Souljah!

(Uh...wouldn't that be a four-bit conservative?)

If I remember correctly, Kid Rock and Marilyn Manson either endorsed or said they voted for Bush - that's the great thing about being a Republican, you associate with the finest people.

And yes, it would be "four-bit".
