If I were
going to list all the reasons that I had an issue with Ted Nugent being at the
State of the Union address, it would take all day. Most are pretty self-evident. It's just poor manners to invite someone who
has made threats against the life of the president.
But there was
one thing that really got to me about Nugent last night.
It wasn't
that he out and out lied about previous threats he has made against the
president, the vice president and the secretary of state. Ted's never really
understood that the comments he makes for attention can and will come back to
haunt him.
No, it was
that he didn't stand to acknowledge the troops.
( I expected him not to stand for the president, the man was never
taught that in polite society you show respect for the office even if you have
no respect for the person in the office.) It was that he didn't even attempt to
stand to show respect. The 102 year old woman did but not Ted. And when he was confronted about it, he
whined and claimed that his legs were shattered and that he was supposed to be
having double knee replacement but came to the SOTU instead. Problem with that excuse is there are videos
of him after the SOTU getting around just fine - no cane, no walker, nolimping, nothing.
This man who
was too big a coward to fight for his country when called and forced another to
go in his place couldn't even rise out of his seat to show respect for members
of our armed forces who placed their lives on the line.
Ted likes to
shoot off his mouth and his firearms and act like he's a big guy but when the
rubber meets the road, he's just sitting there like always in his own
excrement.
I guess in a
way he was right - he said that his legs were shattered - what he should have
said was he doesn't have a leg to stand on and hasn't for a very long time.
If you go back in history to the interview where Ted talked about dodging the draft by filling his pants with crap and not taking a shower, you'll also see where he refers to the troops as "curs" and "gutter dogs." He has no respect for the troops. Never has. Never will. Per Ted: "If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common CURS, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a GUTTER DOG. I was a hard workin’, motherfuckin’ rock and roll musician."
