The new Eminem video, for "Mosh" (streaming Quicktime link), is maybe the best anti-Bush and GOTV statement I've seen all year, and I say that as somebody who loathed most of the anti-war music that was quickly released online last year. This video is something else, and I suspect the high-point in animation production with Flash. The song's a little long, but if this gets significant play on MTV, expect Bush's already low support among 18-25 year olds to plummet. [Via Daily Kos.]

finally, an actual reason to like eminem. i shudder at the thought.
I actually like a fair amount of Eminem's stuff, but ironically, the music -- the beat, at least -- is the only thing I don't care for about "Mosh." It's just kind of uninspired and goes on *forever*. I think that even if corporate radio/video outlets were inclined to play it, they'd want it shorter.
But visually and lyrically, wow, it makes "Fahrenheit 9/11" look like a 2nd grade film-strip.
