Ricky Martin: No regrets about “sticking it” to Bush

Ricky%2BMartin.jpgWhile I wrote Ricky Martin off for pulling a much too late Dixie Chicks move by giving Dubya the middle finger on a stage in Puerto Rico, the little hip shaker must be commended for standing his ground and not apologizing for this action. Ricky was quoted as saying yesterday:

“My convictions of peace and life go beyond any government and political agenda and as long as I have a voice onstage and offstage, I will always condemn war and those who promulgate it,” Martin said about his action in an e-mail statement sent to The Associated Press via a spokesman.

As proud as we can be of Ricky not backpedaling, I insist that now is the perfect time to gain a little limelight by being critical of this government, when everyone — even Republicans — is turning on this president.

While Ricky’s sexuality remains “ambiguous”, many also question why, pre-war, he would support a president who had already declared himself an enemy of gay rights.
