Won’t The Real Slim Shady Please Report To The FBI?

You may have missed it, what with the capture of Saddam Hussein and all the recent suicide bombings in Iraq, but rapper Eminem recently threatened the life of the President of the United States. Sort of. A line from an unfinished song off a bootleg recording of an Eminem concert reportedly includes the following: “I don’t rap for dead presidents. I’d rather see the president dead.” Of course, Eminem is just a pop musician in a frankly thuggish corner of the music industry, and he clearly isn’t planning an assasination attempt, so the Secret Service isn’t taking it seriously or responding to silly questions about it. Only, wait. Actually, they are.
