Kudos to Patriots Fans

Last week rap star Kanye West used a celebrity telethon intended to raise money for Katrina survivors to worsen the situation by sowing seeds of racial discord and tinfoil-hat moonbattery with the asinine declaration that "George Bush doesn't care about black people" and the demented assertion, "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."

Apparently this didn't sit well with Patriots fans. When West appeared in last night's kickoff show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA (via video from Los Angeles), the left-leaning Boston Globe reports that he was

booed loudly by Patriots fans who evidently didn't appreciate his nationally televised comment the other night on a Hurricane Katrina benefit that President Bush ''doesn't care about black people." The boos were thunderous and lasted for much of his number.

Careful, Senators Kennedy and Kerry. It looks like not all of your constituents are tuned to your frequency.
