I finally saw Hank Jr's tirade...

[Archae]

Most media reports don't mention that Hank called Obama and Biden "the enemy," and I noticed something, watching Hank Jr.

He was pickled. Big time. :beer:

[Raven]

1. I thought so too. You'd think they would give these people a

breath test before they let them on camera.

[rurallib]

2. and he's going to run for Senate?

[JVS]

3. Pickled = par for Hank's course

[ensho]

4. kick

nt

[monmouth]

5. He'd be parking cars for a living if it weren't for his daddy's name...n/t

[Bake]

10. That's why he makes sure to mention his daddy in every song.

Without the name, he's playing in a cheap chicken-wire bar on Friday nights, when he can get the gig.

6. Hey, Bocephus, pay those pointy-headed medical types no mind!

They say you're damaging your liver with all that drinkin', well, to HELL with them! They call the liver an 'organ' or a 'gland,' when it's actually a muscle - a muscle that you need to exercise on a daily basis.

7. His excuse that he was trying to amkea point, not comparing Obama to Hitler...

He's full of shit...he meant to compare him to Hitler.

[UTUSN]

8. Even the Faux/Fiends looked stunned to hear what they really think being channeled!1 n/t

[Bake]

9. He "sings" about Jim Beam a lot ...

Just sayin' ...

Bake

[dembotoz]

11. hey keep jim beam out of this--i like that stuff

[Bake]

13. Well, according to Hank Jr., Jim Beam DID try to kill him in 1973 ...

So it can't be all bad!

:rofl:

Bake

[Tippy]

12. He is always pickled.....I have no use for a drunk....

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. Got a link to the tirade?

I missed it. Must have been doing something else that day.

:hi:

[mailman82]

15. He sure sounded drunk!

[zalinda]

16. Actually, Hank Jr was trying to make the comparison

of Obama and Boehner playing golf and high fiving each other. He explained that they are supposed to be enemies, and that people are suffering, but they don't seem to care.

Also, Williams released a statement late Monday explaining he was "misunderstood." It reads, in part:

"Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme — but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me - how ludicrous that pairing was."

They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the President."

17. he called President Obama and Biden 'the enemy' he was not misunderstood

america heard him loud and clear

[JVS]

21. In that case, I suggest he learn to say "like oil and water" rather than like "Hitler and Netanyahu"

The fact that the first pairing doesn't mix is well known, the second pairing just makes people think "WTF?"

[Lucinda]

25. That's the way I took his comments as reported yesterday

but I haven't seen the video.

[EnviroBat]

18. The guy is a fucking turd.

I can't muster one fiber of my being to give a shit what hill-billy clowns think or say.

[sarcasmo]

19. Way to much booze makes one pickled.

[LibertyLover]

20. Husband made sure to watch the opening of Monday Night Football

to see what was going to happen after reading about Hankie's ranting. I was moderately interested because the opening song was kind of fun, although not as good as the cover of Joan Jett and the Blackhawks on Sunday Night Football. The announcers, to the best of my knowledge, never acknowledged a problem and there was no special opening for the program. I liked it better without having to listen to Hankie.

22. That rolling sound we hear is Hank Sr in his grave

[NNN0LHI]

24. Sr. actually had talent

Wonder if junior was the milk mans kid?

Don

[fishwax]

23. that's what I figured as well

of course, a fairly safe assumption with him, I think. :beer:
