WASHINGTON Nov 18, 2005 — Bruce Springsteen famously was "born in the USA," but he's getting scorned in the U.S. Senate.

The chamber's GOP leaders refused to bring up for consideration a resolution, introduced by Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Jon Corzine, that honored Springsteen's long career and the 1975 release of his iconic album, "Born to Run."

Telephone calls to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's office seeking comment were not immediately returned.

Lautenberg said he couldn't understand why anyone would object to the resolution.

"Even if the Republicans don't like (Springsteen's) tunes, I would hope they appreciated his contributions to American culture," Lautenberg said.

6. I am a HUGE Springsteen fan...but I have to tell you something

(the man can't sing)

I just can't bring myself to really say it---

(I don't like him without the E-Street Band)

Anyway....OK, enough of this!

Screw you!!!! Bruce is a GOD!!!!

9. I'm just kidding. I like him.

Just not enough to really care I must admit. The early stuff is great for sure, but it just seems like he never got better with age.

I mean....he's no Dylan. Or Guthrie for that matter.

Isn't the freep definition of a patriot someone who loves his/her country but hates 93% of the people IN it?

They'll always be able to take time out from their busy schedule of screwing the country for that worthy pastime.
