  Linda Ronstadt has been urlLink blackballed in Las Vegas for saying something idiotic, "Before singing 'Desperado' for an encore Saturday night, the 58-year-old rocker called Moore a 'great American patriot' and 'someone who is spreading the truth.
'" &nbsp; Then, out of the rafters, dressed in an assorted array of super villian costumes, came George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, and Karl Rove, salivating and tearing away at a copy of the First Amendment they keep around for just such an occasion.&nbsp; &nbsp; The horror had just begun. &nbsp; Linda, aghast at actually being confronted for her insanity, begin to speak in tongues unknown to rational beings, crying for her freedom of speech and demanding understanding because, hey, she's on stage, so she's enlightened.&nbsp; At the direction&nbsp;of Bush, Ashcroft and Rove,&nbsp;known nationally as&nbsp;the Triumvirate of Censorship, the crowd responded &nbsp; Ronstadt's comments drew loud boos and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater.
People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air. &nbsp; And then the censorship happened &nbsp; &nbsp; Aladdin President Bill Timmins decided Ronstadt had to go — for good. Timmins said he didn't allow Ronstadt back in her luxury suite and she was escorted off the property.
&nbsp; Holy Government Oppression, why did this happen?? Doesn't everyone know that every celebrity has&nbsp;a right to have people still pay&nbsp;absurd amounts to watch them perform, even when they&nbsp;say ridiculous and stupid things? ?&nbsp; Oh, the oppression! The humanity!&nbsp; But the paying public, hey, they're just peons, right? &nbsp; Ronstadt's antics "spoiled a wonderful evening for our guests and we had to do something about it," Timmins said. &nbsp; Guess not.&nbsp; So there you have it.&nbsp; Blackballing at it's finest.&nbsp; Blackballing by the free market.
