Rumor has it that James Carville and Terry McAuliffe intentionally leaked the Berger Burglary so as to undermine Kerry so he loses to Bush and Hillary goes for the Presidency in 4 years with no incumbent Republican,,Hmmmm.

Yeah baby! You tell 'em Bonnie....

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Winding up her summer tour across Europe, rhythm and blues singer Bonnie Raitt drew thunderous applause at the Stockholm Jazz Festival for dedicating a classic to U.S. President George W. Bush.

"We're gonna sing this for George Bush because he's out of here, people!" Raitt crowed Tuesday night before she launched into the opening licks of "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," a cover that was featured on her 1979 album "The Glow."

The song, penned by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, has been sung by several notable performers, including Mable John, Lou Rawls and others.

Raitt's comments resulted in a round of applause and even whistles from among the estimated 3,000 concertgoers at the Swedish capital's annual jazz event held on the banks of the downtown Skeppsholmen island.

Swedes are skeptical of Bush and the Scandinavian country refused to support his efforts in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The nine-time Grammy award winner is no stranger to political activism. Her Web site urges fans to learn more about preserving the environment and she was a founding member of MUSE, or Musicians United for Safe Energy.
