R.E.M. Guitarist Says President Bush Should Work at McDonald's

R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck thinks that George W. Bush would make an ideal McDonald's employee. In the current issue of Uncut, Buck fielded questions from fans, one of whom asked what career he'd give the President if he could have him switch professions.

"Well, since he's failed at everything else he's done, he needs to step down the management level a little," Buck snapped. "There's probably a McDonald's that could use management, and he seems like the kind of purse-mouthed snot nose who'd be great at terrifying 13-year-olds."

"A lot of what he's done is betray the working people," Buck added. "I mean, I'm a rich white guy, and as much as I disagree philosophically with everything they do -- it's only been good for me -- on a personal level, if you don't count the environment and the deaths."

R.E.M. will launch a world tour in support of their latest album, 'Accelerate,' on May 23. The band will appear on PBS television's 'Austin City Limits' the following day.
