The Bush administration's anti-immigrant policies strike again, as Amy Winehouse's request for a visa to visit the U.S. has been denied (link).
Believe it or don't, there's an even worse photo of Winehouse here.
This horrific event follows not long on the heels of that other Pride of England, Lily Allen being denied entry.
Even more insidiously, some don't need visas, and only denaturalization would work.
The upside is that any shortages could prompt a presidential directive to clone our far superior alternatives (Chinese site, but seems to be OK).
URGENTLY IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: The DHS worked night and day, and her visa has been granted. Just not in time for the Grammy Awards. Nevertheless, her people say she's grateful for them expediting her application.
THANK GOSH FOR THE MSM UPDATE: A State Department hack was quizzed about the issue in a press briefing, with a valiant albeit unnamed member of the mainstream media relentlessly cross-examining him about this travesty of justice.
