Break out the acid wash jeans....Dave Mustaine of Megadeth endorses Santorum

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Well, I guess he's marginally more relevant than last week's Pat Boone endorsement.

So this week, we finally got an answer to the questions “do people actually like Rick Santorum?” and “well, show me one person, then?” when Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine threw his support behind the controversial Republican candidate.

Mustaine has not been a stranger to political controversy himself, having made comments in the past about homosexuality and immigration that have raised hackles. The guitarist is open about his Christian faith as well, and though he voted for Bill Clinton after covering the 1992 Democratic National Convention for the Choose or Lose initiative, Mustaine has mostly indicated a preference for Republican Party ideals in the intervening (gulp) twenty years. (Which kind of calls to mind the old adage among conservatives that if you’re not liberal at 30 you have no heart and if you’re not conservative at 50, you have no brain.)

1. Megadeth were great in the 90s.

Why did he have to go and become such a douchebag?

4. Dave Mustaine was always a douchebag

He just happened to write a couple of good songs before everybody found out.

6. That's why they kicked him out of Metallica.

9. No, they weren't.

The *drugs* available while listening to Megadeth were great in the 90's.

2. Hey Davey - if Republicans had their way you would have been in prison for all your drug violations

instead of still making an ass of yourself.

3. He's the 89th best Metal vocalist of all time according to Hit Parader (they still print that?)

I just scanned the wiki article on him. He sounds like a real Republican. I mean idiot.

5. Man, I wish I still had my old flare jeans

These guys don't have a fuckin' clue what it's about. Could be that there's a cosmic reason that Mustaine has 'stain' in his name.

7. The name of the band is appropriate for

Someone endorsing Santorum. He would have 'megadeaths' during his admin if he was elected because of his archaic policies.

8. This is Mustaine's brain on drugs

Any questions?
