No wonder I never liked her...

WASHINGTON (CNN) ? Politics may make for strange bedfellows ? but even for this town, this may be the oddest couple to ever make beautiful music together: House Republicans?and pop diva Lady Gaga.


I'm wondering if she allowed the use of her video for GOP use? If so, what a stab in the back.

If I was the GOP, I'd pick a prettier face.

She probably finds this hilarious. I mean, is there really a pop star right now who could be any less Republican?

Don't worry, she's an Obama supporter. (Well, during the election anyway).

I know it's only a parody of her song...and she clearly has nothing to do with it, but I imagine in the coming days she'll make sure we're all aware she does not support them in any way. She loves her gays far too much.

If she wants to keep her gay fans, she better come out with a statement, really soon.

Jackson Browne just settled his suit against McCain today for the unauthorized use of "Running on Empty" in an ad.

"Fixed the link."


"Cheney's Secret Service protection extended"

Lady Gaga is protecting Dick Cheney?

Mark Sanford had an affair with Lady Gaga? Was she on the Appalachian Trail too???

Good Lord. Do you need to be spoon fed?

WASHINGTON (CNN) ? Politics may make for strange bedfellows ? but even for this town, this may be the oddest couple to ever make beautiful music together: House Republicans?and pop diva Lady Gaga.

At Tuesday morning's weekly GOP conference meeting, Republicans were shown a clip of a video parody of the Lady Gaga hit, "Just Dance" that replaces the popular song's refrain with "Just Tax."

The parody video was developed by Peter Cowman, a 23-year-old who just graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle, outside Rep Dave Reichert's district. A spokeswoman for Reichert said the congressman wanted to show his colleagues the video to encourage them to get young people involved using new media, and noted his district is home to a cluster of technology companies.

"He wanted them to encourage the youth in their district, and share the message on a level that young people can relate to," Reichert's spokeswoman told CNN.

Asked about the video, House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence, R-Ind, laughed and said "it's part of the Pence youth initiative."

Pence admitted that very few members were familiar with the original Lady Gaga song.

I would like to throw Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in steel cage and make them fight to the death. I really don't think we need both of them.

I prefer neither of them.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 7/22/09 at 11:24am

Yeah, me either.

Don't mind Katy Perry, but Gaga gets on my nerves.

If Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were to have a fight to the death with Pool Cues, who would be the winner?

A: Music lovers everywhere.

They need pool cues, because music cues confuse the crap out of them...
