Profiles in Courage.

New York Post Page Six June 27, 2008 --
HARRY Shearer has a new CD ripping President Bush - but ads for it won't be coming to a billboard near you. The outdoor advertising arm of notoriously conservative Clear Channel has banned signs for "Songs of the Bushmen" because the cover depicts the president with a bone through his nose. "Their tone turned from genial salesperson to angry schoolmarm - 'This is unacceptable,' " Shearer, the voice of Mr. Burns and Flanders on "The Simpsons," told Page Six. "And it's not like this is a dangerous time to criticize George Bush." Clear Channel didn't get back to us.

What a hero that Harry Shearer! Man he picked up George Carlin's mantle of a Truth teller who spares no one in his ability to mock the pretentious and speak truth to power. I look forward to his next album with Barack Obama with a bone through his nose.....oh what...he doesn't have the balls...that's not funny...ok never mind.

Shearer is no Carlin.

Every time I see an interview with this guy, he's bitching about something. Usually other comedians.
