Potent Quotables: Pete's Pants-Down Politics

"It's like watching a 14-year-old boy fumbling with a girl's belt buckle: They're going to get there eventually." --Pete Wentz

Emo's poster child waxed poetic on how musicians (including himself) attempt to participate in politics in Spin's April issue.

Ugh. Pete Wentz is disgusting. Creepy pedophile. Needs to wash his hair,lose some weight. Realize his clothing line is terrible and overpriced for flea market quality items. And what is he doing now? Using 14 year old kids getting their freak on as a metaphor about politics?
Wow,what a smart one! Ashlee Simpson sure got the catch of the day,huh?

Just because Pete Wentz is not the most eloquent person, does not mean that you should give him a hard time. He is a talented musician and I bet he has a hundred times more talent than all of you scum bags who read these articles specifically to make fun of celebrities. He's a nice enough guy and how many of you guys are perfect? Oh, sorry no one raised their hands. Guess you shouldn't be judging.

Hahaha! Obviously some of you have not read much of Pete's work or writing. He is very eloquent. It seems a few of you missed the methphor in that quote as well, which tells me you are uneducated and don't know what you're are typing about.

What a sell-out. Brandon Flowers is WAY cooler than this guy, and so is Kevin Federline, who is just one of the biggest sell-outs in the nation.
