Kid Rock! Can’t he be a Republican and a bad boy?

It seems that Barbara and Jenna Bush have lined up Kid Rock to perform at the America Rocks Today: A Call to Service concert and the Christian groups are in a tizzy!

Right-wing Christian groups are furious that rap-rocker Kid Rock is set to perform at a youth concert to celebrate President George W. Bush’s inauguration.

The die-hard Republican hitmaker is set to join clean-cut teen stars Hilary Duff and Jojo at the “America Rocks Today: A Call to Service” concert in Washington D.C., organized by Bush’s twin daughters Barbara and Jenna.

Christian groups are furious that Bush would allow Kid Rock to be associated with him, due to his profanity-laden lyrics, and his infamous line in 2001 song “You Never Met a [bleep] Quite Like Me,” sang, “I met the President when I was half-stoned.”

In an earlier song in 1990, when the President’s father George was in charge of the country alongside the elder Barbara as First Lady, Kid Rock sang, “Pimp of the Nation, I could be it/ As a matter of fact, I forsee it/ But only pimpin’ ‘hos with the big tush/ While you be left pimpin’ Barbara Bush.”

Donald Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, fumes, “What in the world are these people thinking?  This is the biggest slap in the face to the Christian conservatives. Where I come from, you talk about my mama like that, those are fightin’ words. Shooting words.  There’s no greater defender of family values than President Bush.”
