The song "Politics as Usual" has caused a lot controversy due to lyrics in the song criticizing and insulting Reverend Jesse Jackson ("Now Jesse talkin' slick and apologizin' for what?/If you said it then you meant it how you wanted, have a gut"), McCain ("McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed"), President Bush ("Yeah I said it, 'cause Bush is mentally handicapped/Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps/'Cause what you talkin' I hear nothin' even relevant/And you the worst of all 43 presidents") and Hillary Clinton ("Hilary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant").
