...President fulfilled his biblical responsibility: he ignored both prophets, who then amped their rants and wrote books (these days, prophets are not averse to profits).

And he is the poet laureate of righteous indignation, as evidenced by his notorious promise to America's enemies to "put a boot in your ass," in his massive hit Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American). But Keith also knows that playing the role of country's resident rogue--the permanent outsider who speaks manly but unwelcome truths...
