Out of action
Our pundits — stupid and lazy. They continue writing about America’s favorite racist as if he’s still in action and paying attention.
“Ted Nugent, the old rocker from the ’70s, is now just plain old — and off his rocker,” writes Jim Hightower for the Colorado Independent.
“Some years ago, ’70s-era rocker Ted Nugent reinvented himself as a professional rhetorical bomb-thrower on behalf of right-wing causes, especially gun supremacy,” writes Katy Burns, for a New England newspaper.
“He mostly blathered on the fringes, unnoticed by mainstream media but embraced by a collection of Republican candidates and conservative media figures … But even then, calling the duly elected and re-elected president of the United States a ‘subhuman mongrel’ seemed initially to be unremarked on by anyone but a few leftist bloggers,” she continued on Sunday.
Last week Ted Nugent went into the hospital for double knee replacement surgery. And as I predicted, the ranting stopped.
Most have missed it. And that’s because our six-figure explainers don’t really follow Ted Nugent. They just get their material from others — “leftist bloggers” — or the most inflammatory video segments at the top of the Google pile-up.
Here’s Ted Nugent’s Twitter feed.
Nugent’s medical problem and its solution are serious.
No “animal skulldancing” any time soon.

No I haven’t! Perhaps I should? I’ve never won any kind of raffle in my life.

Well, you know Nugent says, “I fight hard everyday.”
For what, he’s less specific.
