Ted’s sorry he had to pay 10k
Convicted on another hunting violation in Alaska, Nugent released a long statement saying he was sorry. A read, if you can stand it, shows the usual font of charity and buck-stops-here responsibility and equanimity that is Ted Nugent.
He blames everyone but himself first and vows to take down the government, albeit in terms much more gentler than usual.
Ted’s sorry he had to pay 10 thousand smacks. He’s sorry he’s been embarrassed. And he’s sorry because the judge has made him say so as a condition of probation.
“America is increasingly drowning in just such strange, goofy regulations and requirements. As logic crusader John Stossel recently exposed, our federal government releases roughly 80,000 pages of new regulations each year, confusing, ambiguous, weird illogical regulations that serve no meaningful purpose other than to feebly attempt to justify bureaucracies already off the rails. It’s way past bizarre.
“The ‘you don’t need to read it, you just need to sign it’ health care bill argued before the Supreme Court was almost 2,000 pages long of extraordinarily complex rules and regulations. Sarcastically, Supreme Court Justice Scalia stated that reading the bill was a violation of the 8th Amendment’s (protection against) cruel and unusual punishment clause …

“While I have never intentionally violated a hunting regulation, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and I am truly sorry, and have paid dearly. There is even less of an excuse for ignorant laws.???
The wimp that roars, now one hundred Ben Franklins lighter in the loafers.
From Dennis Miller’s radio show on Wednesday, shifting the blame for his Secret Service visit, as usual. The likely story:
It was a wonderful meeting. I could not say more positive glowing respect for the men and women of federal law enforcement. The vast majority of them are absolutely dedicated. They put themselves in harm’s way every day. The Secret Service had to respond to the bizarre subhuman squalor and the lying of the Saul Alinsky fan club and the liberal Democratic cesspool that claimed I threatened the president’s life. Of course they have to respond to that …
I think the spirit in the room knew that they should have been investigating those who told them to investigate me …
On the days of the famous Grande Ballroom in Detroit:
JOHN SINCLAIR: That’s what it was like back then … everybody smoked, nobody snitched, everyone was cool — except for Ted Nugent. He was not cool, always an asshole, everybody hated him (laughs).
