Ted Nugent wants to throw his 10-gallon hat into 2018 Michigan Senate race

Source: Metro Times



Just when your eyes came back to a normal position after hearing that Kid Rock's name is floating around to run against current Michigan senator Debbie Stabenow, it seems that another Michigander wants a shot for a Senate seat, too.

That's right, folks. The Motor City Madman Ted Nugent himself is thinking about a possible run in 2018, according to Fox News.

In an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation, Nugent said there is "nothing I wouldn't do to help [Michigan] in any way I can," and would not rule out a bid.

Just to give you a taste of Ted Nugent's political discourse, he once said this during a concert in 2007:

"Obama, he's a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary (Clinton), you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch."

Does anyone consider Turd a "celebrity" anymore? (Did they ever?)

This, of course, would make it acceptable for Scott Baio, Amarosa, and Gary Busey to announce their bids. Much hilarity will ensue.

My faith in the intelligence of the electorate has been sorely shaken of late -- and I never had all that much in the first place.

Nonetheless, here's hoping you're right.

People's minds have been rotted by AM hate radio for so long we have a government now run by AM hate radio. Time to get to work ridding humanity of that crap.

Ronald Reagan
Sonny Bono
Arnold Schwarzenegger
George Murphy
Fred Thompson
The orange tumor

I'm probably missing one or two. There's also rumors going on that moronic bigot and evolution denier Curt Schilling may run in Massachusetts.

And I kinda feel bad that I want a rocker to run in my congressional district (the only person in the district with the $$ and name ID to take out a 36 year incumbent).

Trump was elected. Brexit happened. A megalomaniac got elected in Turkey. Russia is plotting to invade Poland. Trump is plotting Taiwan and China against each other, and pissed off Australia and Germany. White supremacists are running in France. It's becoming a gigantic shit show. We're probably in the final days of globalism. So I guess Ted Nugent would be just a blip on the shit radar.
