Rapster’s Bush Parody Draws a Federal Call
Two college students who recorded a rap song entitled “How I Killed George Bush” said they meant it as a parody, but the Secret Service took it seriously.
One of them, David MacDonald, said Secret Service agents visited him. And a clerk at a store selling the tape, by MacDonald and Andrew Knighton’s group, F-Kripz, said that an agent also visited there.
MacDonald said the agents questioned him and read him his rights but did not arrest him.
Knighton and MacDonald said the song was intended as a parody of mainstream rap.
