End of Tour Nugent
Ted Nugent’s latest column for the WaTimes, following his anti-labor Labor Day piece, is all about sucking up to Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.
Consider the guy who projects the image that he doesn’t bow to anybody, wasting a column on the extremists every GOP pol has dry humped all summer.
I’ll leave it out.
But you can read Ted being an apple-polisher for his famous teachers here.
However, since you’ve followed — along with me — Ted’s trek through the casinos and fairgrounds of the hinterlands this summer, these quotes will surely amuse:
I joyfully bring you a glowing report as I wrap up my tour across America 2010, where nightly, all summer long, I have been privileged to meet with great, hardworking and hard-playing American families from every imaginable walk of life in 68 cities. I share with you a powerful, united message of unstoppable good will, decency, indefatigable, positive spirit and a herculean work ethic that is absolutely dedicated to bringing America back from this embarrassing brink of unaccountable upside-down government gone mad.
Does that “good will” and “decency” include all the gratuitous profanity, so much they condemned you in Kennewick, WA? And Iowa, Ted?
Not exactly bastions of depraved liberal thought.
Ted continues:
It is overtly obvious that conservatives want an accountable, limited government to secure our borders, win the war against terror, have a victory strategy instead of an exit strategy, and take care of our heroes of the U.S. military.
I conduct daily interviews in city after city with brilliant historians, educated thinkers, clever leaders and thoughtful strategizers …
Overtly obvious, huh?
Copy-editors again forced to hide their lights under bushel baskets.
Now to the nitty-gritty.
Ted says he conducted interviews with brilliant historians and such, day after day, on his summer tour. “Educated thinkers” aplenty at the Benton Franklin Fair, Nemeier’s Rib Shack in Ft. Smith, Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa and the Donna Corn Maze.
If I were an editor at the WaTimes I’d want my money back from Ted. As he’s left the thoughts of all these unnamed brilliant people, if you even believe him, out of every single column he’s written.
I write this as someone who still thinks Ted Nugent is one of the great rock ‘n’ roll guitarists.
Go back to Spirit Wild Ranch in Waco, TX, Ted — now that your tour’s over. Don’t answer any tough questions.
