She Hates Dad Too!!!!
Just in time for a nice Fathers Day, a Bush daughter shows her love for papa by going to a Radiohead show. 'Hail To The Thief' indeed. Unfortunately, 2+2=5 was not played.

George Bush's daughter attends Radiohead gig
Thom Yorke comments on the Presidential vsist
One of George Bush's daughters attended Radiohead's show in New York, despite the band's well documented hatred for the US president.
Posting on the bands official site Thom Yorke commented that he first noticed the un-named attendee while the band were playing 'The Tourist'
"We were playing 'The Tourist' at the end of the show... and yes we did wander what the shuffling manhandling fighting was in the distance of the audience.
"Turns out it was her six bodyguards clearing the way for the first daughter's exit. and some pour soul objected at being manhandled by the secret service. I think I would have to.
"In fact, if I had known all this my objections would have been more forthright and extensive... if you know what I mean. Which is perhaps why our lot chose not to tell me who was in the building before we went on. Probably a good idea."
Yorke added that he was unsure how to react, explaining: "hmm I dont know if we should be
A. honoured
B. amused
C. bemused
D. ask if she had a valid ticket
E. object belatedly on moral grounds
F. ask again if she had a ticket and question whether this really what our gigs are about
G. don't blame the daughter for the father
H. shut up and smile
answers on a postcard"
The appearence by member of the Bush clan is suprising considering the title of Radiohead's last album 'Hail To The Thief' was a direct attack on President Bush's narrow election win.

what amazes me more is that she has enough taste to even be at that concert.

also, the 2+2=5 equation is my favorite thing from dostoevsky's "notes from underground."
