A spokesman for Barack Obama said that a new song by the rapper Ludacris, "Politics: Obama Is Here," is "outrageously offensive." In the song, Ludacris attacks Hillary Clinton, John McCain and President Bush. An excerpt: "Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers/Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer/Better yet put him in office, make me your vice ...

RKMK mentioned this in the blogaround yesterday, but I'm not sure how many saw it, so I thought I'd relay the story up here since it bears repeating. Barack Obama recently referred to Ludacris as a "great talent" (yet another thing he's been dead wrong about) and it seems that the two have more than a passing acquaintance , and so, as maybe a thank you of sorts, Ludacris has written a new ...

White rights enthusiast Sean Hannity has a new black man in his sights, Ludacris.

By Laura Yao Once again, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is hurt by the ones who love him.

Yes folks, it's that time of the campaign season to play bus and driver. Today's contestant is rapper Ludacris. He wrote a song whose inane lyrics have landed Ludacris on the persona non gratis list for the Obama campaign, even after they were all warm and cuddly. The lyrics:I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got

It's turning out to be a tabloid kind of day for Sen. Barack Obama. First, John McCain's chief strategist, Steve Schmidt, suggested on a conference call that depicting the Illinois Senator alongside Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in a campaign ad is merely comparing "apples to apples." At the same time, a line out of a new freestyle verse from rapper Ludacris posed a new ...

Lovely new song from one of The Messiah's favorite rappers. Question for Ludacris: Ever been thrown under a bus?Mr Obama, who will face Republican John McCain in the presidential race this autumn, met Ludacris two years ago to discuss, what the rapper called, “empowering the youth.” At the time, Ludacris said the meeting was like spending time with a relative. The rapper is one of a number of
