"Nugent’s temper rose and he began to yell at the reporter..."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

29. I hear whay you're saying, and...

...you're right, I didn't select the pic. TMZ, as we all know, has built a reputation on smarmy, snarky gossip (and believe it or not, they really have toned it down...they used to be much worse). But they were the only outlet I could find that had transcribed what Nugent said, and as a "regular" on DU with what I think is at least a reasonable idea of the overall pulse here, I assumed there'd be a large percentage of folks who, if presented with the video clip of Nugent's remarks, would have said "I'm not watching that." And I can't say I blame them...I watched it and it was a supreme turn-off. He came across as a wormy, petulant, self-righteous slice of scum along the lines of Doug Neidermeyer in "Animal House." That part of the movie where Neidermeyer is spitting and sputtering at Flounder over the "pledge pin" on his uniform? THAT was Nugent, to a "T," in this clip.



The best part, though, is when Nugent told the reporter to **** his ****, the reporter sat there, cool as a cumcumber, no reaction whatsoever, just letting Nugent stew oin his own vile juices.
