You Know It's Hard Out Here Being Pimped

From the article:

"I can't get Three 6 Mafia's Academy Award winning lyrics out of my head: 'You know it's hard out here for a pimp. When he tryin' to get this money for the rent. For the Cadillacs and gas money spent.'

"And every now and then, keeping the same beat with the same mood, thinking of pimp and pimping in a non-sexual way, with the pimp being the president of the USA, I find myself also humming and singing: 'And you know it's hard out here being pimped. And our pimp don't have to worry 'bout his rent. He gets a nice percent of gas money spent.'

"And whereas the pimp in Hustle and Flow was trying to leave the pimping life, our pimp is ever on the go. Pimping is all that he knows. Our pimp, too, "Done seen people killed, done seen people deal. Done seen people live in poverty with no meals." But "staying the course" is how this pimp feels. This pimp lied about Iraq and Katrina standing behind the presidential seal. This pimp has "seen some crazy thangs in the streets" but he, unlike the pimp in the movie, can walk right by it all, spouting platitudes about "being safe," without missing a beat. And if you don't watch what you say and who you say it to, this pimp will listen in on you and the next thing you know you're pricing a prison tattoo or two."
