SHRILL VIDEO-MAKER FROM MICHIGAN ATTACKS BUSH!

No, not Mikey.

That would be one Marshall Mathers. From Slim's "Mosh":
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever,
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home
And check out the entire third verse:
Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our, final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaida through my speech
Let the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you'll know why, because I told you to fight
Eminem has turned George W Bush into Moby. Uh oh.

I imagine that the segment of our population who meet the criteria of being of voting age, undecided, intending to eventually vote, and could be potentially swayed by Eminem is rather small. Or, at least smaller than the same group with Howard Stern. That said, Eminem has over the years built up a reservoir or credibility loosely in the category of "speaking truth to power", even if some of that truth is un-PC at best. Now if we can only get him to cross the stateline and do some precinct-"moshing" in Toledo.
