In reply to the discussion: Hank Jr. just couldn't contain the worst of his racist, bigoted, xenophobic self anymore [View all]rrneck
(17,671 posts)54. Have you ever met W?
I haven't, nor do I have any desire to. He was one of the worst presidents in history. We all, myself included, denounced him as an idiot. We will continue to suffer from his tomfoolery for a long time to come. He was a fountian of poor judgment and bad public policy. But he put on a helluva show. And he accomplished exactly what the 1% wanted. A bad president? Without a doubt. A bad politician? Hardly. Even with "gentleman's C's" a Harvard MBA is nothing to sneeze at. That whole Texas act was just that - an act. And it worked. And Hank is just as big a jerk. And he puts on just ad good a show.
Never underestimate them.

OP
He is actually quite a good guitarist, but a terrible singer, songwriter, and human being

We know what Hank Jr. is. It's people who cheered loudly and enthusiastically that sicken me. nt

His hate speak got him thrown off of ABC, I guess he's too stupid to have learned from that. nt

Maybe Junior is a good barometer of how the majority of Conservatives feel about their chances.

Republicans can dish out all the criticism they want to - they just can't take it.

I've worked shows for other acts which Hank Jr. was on. He is as ignorant as he sounds
