Burt Bacharach, you slimey little puke.

Okay, littlebrains, here's a lesson in business and marketing. When you see a bullshit story like this one come out:

Singer/songwriter BURT BACHARACH has attacked US President GEORGE W BUSH for his handling of the Hurricane Katrina rescue operation.

The WALK ON BY star insists America had adequate warning of the horrific disaster which rocked Louisiana and left New Orleans submerged, and yet Bush continued to fund the war against terror instead of protecting his people.

Bacharach, 77, recalls reading newspaper articles months before the hurricane, warning "that (New Orleans) would be engulfed, that people would drown, that bodies would be floating down the road.

"Instead of pushing the funding up, they took most of it away to fight this stupid war, and that's unforgivable.

"I think Bush is just about the poorest president we've ever had. You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."

Do a little search on a search engine, and lo and behold:

At This Time, Burt Bacharach's new solo CD, is scheduled to be released in September on Sony UK. A correspondent on the Bacharach discussion board says the album—which features 11 new songs cowritten with Tonio K and Dr. Dre among others—may be released as a dual CD/DVD and despite the scheduled release date, it may not be released domestically until January 2006. More info as it becomes available...

Would you be surprised if there was a song with Kanye West?
