Love Grenade for Sister Sarah
If you have a strong stomach, I invite you to read this gusher of a love letter to America's #1 whack job, Sarah Palin, written for Time Magazine by America's #2 whack job himself, Ted Nugent. If not, allow me to sum it up for you:
1st Line: Guitar Joke
Middle: Policy and fact-free, flag waving horseshit
Last Line: Hunting Joke
Actually, it's hard not to call the whole thing a joke. 'The Nuge' believes Palin to be the lipsticked reincarnation of our brilliant, serious minded forefathers and describes her as having a 'herculean work ethic.' Got that? So despite what we all learned in school, apparently Thomas Jefferson was quite proud of not knowing much about anything and George Washington quit midway through his 1st term in office.
This 'piece' wouldn't bother me so much if it had been published in 'Field & Stream' or 'Guns & Ammo,' but Time Magazine? Is it too much to hope that this was a total tongue-in-cheek job by the editors and was in no way meant to be taken seriously? Otherwise, I'm at a loss. One minute, Uncle Ted's rantings are safely relegated to Fox News, Tea Party rallies and Reality TV. The next, I'm opening what I thought was a respectable magazine and reading about how Ted's beloved Sarah represents all that is 'good' in America while exposing all that is 'bad and ugly.' Don't bother asking what he means by 'good' and 'bad.' As with anything Palin-related, specifics are to be avoided at all cost. Ask again and Ted will literally shoot you in your commie face! *air guitar*
On a happier note, I think we can all agree that nobody's ever done album covers quite like Ted Nugent. The man was a visionary! Just a shame the editors at Time weren't able to get their photoshop on. Would have been a nice compliment to the article, I think.
