The feud between Eminem
and Vice President Dick Cheney’s wife continues on Eminem’s third album, The
Eminem Show. Eminem was singled out by Lynne Cheney before congressional
hearings in 2000, about violence in the entertainment industry. She has also
bad mouthed Eminem in numerous magazine interviews.
On the track "White America," Eminem boldy says to Mrs. Cheney “f*ck you,” and refers to the United States Of America
as the "Divided States Of Embarrassment." Lynne Cheney’s spokesperson
condemned Eminem’s statements and his glorification of violence against women
and homosexuals.
"Eminem is reacting to testimony before
Congress in September 2000 in which his lyrics were condemned and his right
to free speech questioned," a spokesperson for Interscope said.
