National Convention, and sadly, yes, they performed "Let's get it started." Some of you may remember that this song was originally called, "Let's get retarded" and was changed up for ESPN.
If you feel so moved, please let the Kerry-Edwards campaign that using this song was inappropriate. Thousands who heard it will look for the song, and they will find on the same album, the original and highly offensive version. It's time to educate-- retarded as an epithet is unacceptable. And, using this song, even in it's altered version, is dispicable.

And, if this isn't of interest to you, by all means, feel free to ignore it.
Peace, Carol
