Twista's an unlikely rapper to get into the political game or any game for that matter. He's pretty low key. Who knew he had a weekly column in RedEye, the Chicago Tribune's free newspaper? Yesterday, he decried Bush's veto of the Iraq spending bill and aligned himself with Rosie O'Donnell. A complicated guy, this Twista.

President Bush just vetoed a bill that would bring the troops home. I feel like he was bogus for vetoing that bill.

He said he was gonna do it but he finally actually did it. I want to tell people to write, call, or come up with some way to give suggestions to help say something to effect our troops coming home.

We need to say something effective to bring our troops back home. We have troops dying every day and I think it's time that they come back home to the people they care about. I wanna know what you all think we can do to help bring the troops home because something needs to be done.

There are two sides to the situation in Iraq but I kind of feel the way Rosie O'Donnell feels: They didn't attack us so why should we have to attack them? Sometimes I don't know what to think.

We don't either, Twista.
