GRUMPY OLD MEN


While guesting on The Howard Stern Show, singer/activist Tony Bennett had this to say about the terrorist that attacked us on September 11, 2001:

“They flew the plane in, but we caused it . . . Because we were bombing them
and they told us to stop.”

He went on to say that President George W. Bush had also said to him that he (the president) thought the Iraq War might have been a mistake.

Well, duh.

It's going to be interesting how this will affect the sales of his new album, Duets II, which dropped yesterday. This a pretty controversial thing to say, especially since we just marked (with ridiculous pomp and circumstance, I might add) the 10th year since that day.

By the way, I think he's absolutely right.
