Ted Nugent played Gov. Rick Perry's Inaugural Ball wearing a cut-off T-shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag. The Nuge shouted unflattering remarks about non-English speakers. His props were machine guns.
Now there's a big flap about it in the press. Let's back up, pundits. The Nuge does this act at all of his concerts. Nobody was caught unaware. Perry let him play his inaugural ball, despite the political backlash that was sure to follow.
We can draw two conclusions: First, The Nuge is a redneck. Second, Gov. Perry is a moron.
It must have been a slow news day for this story to make the paper.
