Even so, the comment was an ignorant and foolish one.  Judging a person on political ideology is beneath the intelligence of someone like Pete Townshend.  I love Pete's sarcasm, but this was "cunt-like" behavior on Pete's part, IMHO.  "W" may very well be what many of you think, but there is no way any of us can know without knowing the man and what is or isn't in his heart.  I wouldn't be so ignorant as to call Tony Blair a "cock" when I don't know the man or anything truly about his character as a human being (though IMHO he's got serious guts).
