But the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifilm.com\/ifilmdetail\/2654122\" title=\"Mosh\">just-released video<\/a> for his new anti-Bush song &#8220;Mosh,&#8221; makes &#8220;Fahrenheit 9\/11&#8221; look like a GOP campaign spot, and it will almost certainly reach an audience that wouldn&#8217;t think of shelling out for a documentary.<\/p>\n<p>  The beautifully animated video, which is directed by Ian Inaba, opens with a classroom. At the front is a man in a blue suit, his face buried in an upside down children&#8217;s book that says &#8220;My Pet,&#8221; with a picture of a bush. Just as the man is revealed to be Eminem, the scene changes, and we see the singer taping up newspaper stories to a wall &#8212; &#8220;Sick Wounded Troops Held in Squalor,&#8221; says one. &#8220;Civil Liberties at Stake,&#8221; says another. &#8220;Bush Knew,&#8221; says a third.<\/p>\n<p>  In five minutes, Eminem manages a furious indictment of the administration that will likely resonate among many troops in Iraq as well as disaffected kids here at home.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After watching the video, I&#8217;m still no fan of the music.
