Another no talent celebrity Bush hater, one wrote.
podcast-host
Pink is a stupid girl.
podcast-host
Keep that shit to yourself, one said succinctly, whore.
podcast-host
Uh, well, that's bad.
podcast-host
I don't think anyone should comment whore on Pink's video of her performance of Dear Mr President.
podcast-host

podcast-host
So anyway, I don't think this song is bad, and I'm sure some people were really mean to her about it, and I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I do think Pink is trying to retroactively insert herself into a sort of Dixie Chick's narrative that just does not apply.
