FOX's Dana Perino Is Outraged That M.I.A., ‘Not Even An American,’ Performed At The Super Bowl

(repost- accidentally put this in LBN earlier)

---

Most found it vulgar on its face, but Dana Perino objected not to the gesture but to M.I.A.’s presence at all: why would Madonna perform with a rapper who was “not even an American?”

Bush's press secretary takes issue with a guest spot from a non-American. She wants more performances from fine American headlining acts like these:
---

The Who (2010)

The Rolling Stones (2006)

Paul McCartney 2005

Sting (2003)

U2 (2002)

Phil Collins (2000)

Now there must be something about M.I.A. that is particularly objectionable to Perino - something that's different than all the others. I just can't figure out what it could possibly be...

Not related, but just for fun, let's throw out this old quote to remind folks just how big of a moron Ms. Perino is:

"I was panicked a bit because I really don't know about . . . the Cuban Missile Crisis," said Perino, who at 35 was born about a decade after the 1962 U.S.-Soviet nuclear showdown. "It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I'm pretty sure."

So she consulted her best source. "I came home and I asked my husband," she recalled. "I said, 'Wasn't that like the Bay of Pigs thing?' And he said, 'Oh, Dana.' "
