I don’t watch political speech because they’re never about ANYTHING, and whatever they mention have littler bearing on reality. Still Ted Nugent watched the speech:
Ted Nugent, the rock star and gun-rights advocate, stuck to his promise to remain respectful as U.S. President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union address. But after the speech concluded, Mr. Nugent returned to form.
“You just can’t get more of a predictable flowery script,” Mr. Nugent said as reporters swarmed around. “And every time he is done speaking he either does just the opposite or nothing at all.”
Mr. Nugent was among the guests listening from the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he had been invited by Rep. Steve Stockman (R., Texas). Mr. Obama used his speech to call on Congress to hold votes on some key aspects of his gun-control proposal, including expanded background checks of gun buyers….“A lot of the guys in various law enforcement departments tonight said thanks for saying what we’re not allowed to say,” Mr. Nugent said. “That’s some pretty powerful encouragement — and I’m scary when I’m encouraged that much.”
Between television interviews, Mr. Nugent used a sarcastic tone to react to Mr. Obama’s speech. “I’m so excited that someone’s going to bring about world peace and save the children,” Mr. Nugent said. “I’m relieved, how about you? Are you kidding me!! And thank God he’s going to stop global warming — I was starting to get concerned.”
Well done Ted!
I sometimes kiddingly refer to him as “Uncle Ted” because he’s like the crazy uncle I always wished I had as a kid.
