Clear Channel censors ads for Harry Shearer’s new Bush-mocking CD....

Comedian and actor Harry Shearer’s new album, Songs of the Bushmen, pays comedic “homage” to current and former Bush administration officials like Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and Karl Rove.

But media giant Clear Channel doesn’t want people to buy it.

The New York Post reports today that the “notoriously conservative” company’s outdoor advertising arm has banned signs for the album “because the cover depicts the president with a bone through his nose.”

Before the Iraq war, the company banned music by the Dixie Chicks from their radio stations after lead singer Natalie Maines criticized Bush.
