A compulsive liar of the Nixon school--without Nixon's actual skills in politicking.

And it's scary because he's been talking to the country on FOX for years and years, gaining influence and notoriety, and because he's accepted as a legitimate presidential candidate instead of being considered a Christian zealot and whack job. Governor of Arkansas--it must stop there

I was just ten years old . . .


Tell me, did he change that part? John Stewart didn't bring it up, but I'm waiting for someone to do so in the media. It's not just a raunchy song with dirty words. It glorifies pedophelia, like other Nugent songs.

He deserves to be ostracized from society.

But unless the age of the OTHER participant is stated as being an adult ... it's really not 'glorifying pedophilia'.

Now, 'glorifying sexual activity among very young people' ... why, yes, it WOULD be that.

Which is still shitty, true, but ... not quite as egregious ...

Just sayin'

Then again, I actually DID get 'cat scratch fever' when I was 12. It IS a real illness, believe it or not ... nothing to do with sex.

So most likely, ya know ... the actual disease is ... probably what he's talking about in that song ... (lol).

That's not the issue. The REAL issue is that Reverend Mike Huckabee stood on the stage with a known pedophile and sang a song glorifying VD.

But the song is pretty obviously not about glorifying VD.

It's clearly glorifying 'Ted's Very Manly Male Sexual Prowess and Desirability' ...

And I don't know the details of this 'pedophilia' claim so forgive me if it's 'worse than this', but I gotta say ... there's probably a LONG LONG list of rock icons that many of us practically worship ... who slept with a 15 or 16 year old groupie (or even more than one) back in the 60's and 70's ...

Or am I off-base and it's actually way worse than that?

I'm curious cause I never heard about the details of the pedo thing with Ted?

He says when he was 10 years old a "kitty next door" gave him "cat scratch fever" and he had to go to the doctor to get the cure. Sorry Brett, but it sounds like he's bragging about catching VD at such a young age.

'Free For All' isn't a terrible song, totally generic w/stupid lyrics, but it's got a good groove and bassline, and the melody is catchy.

Nearly everything else by him is total tripe, however.

Like ... 'Wango Tango'? Seriously?

Here ... allow to share ... these Shakespearean Lyrics ...

(WARNING ... they're an affront to ... so ... very many things ... You've Been Warned!)

Yeah I like it baby, I do it every night
I got to do it 'cos I like it so much
Oh honey believe it baby
You see it's a crazy gyration of the rock generation
It's my motivation to avoid the nauseation and the frustration
When I need some lubrication - Baby!
Kinda like, goes kinda like this
You take her right ankle out
You take her left ankle out
You get her belly propped down
You get her butt propped up
Yeah lookin' good now baby
I think you're in the right position now baby
Yeah but if you ain't quite ready I'll make sure everything is a little bit nicer 'cos
I'm gonna get a little talcum
I think I'll borrow it from Malcolm
Yeah you look so good baby I'm startin to drool all over myself
I got the droolin', droolin', get all wet, salivate, salivate
I got sala-vee-late, sala-vee-late, sala-vee-late
I got salaveh, salaveh, salaveh , salaveh ... eh heh heh heh
Yeah you look so good baby, I like it, I like it, I like it
You know what I been talkin' about honey
It's a nice dance, we gotta a nice dance goin' here
Now what you gotta do, I'll tell you what you gotta do
You got to pretend your face is a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a gettin' hotty
It's a Maserati, Maserati, Maserati
It's a fast one too baby damn thing's turbocharged
You feel like getting a little fuel injection honey?
I'll tell ya about it, I'll tell you about it
Now check out the hood scoop
I gotta get that hood scoop off, shine and shine and buff
I gotta buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up,
Yeah, shiny now baby, heh heh heh
You've been drivin' all night long
It's time to put the old Maserati away
So you look for a garage, you think you see a garage
Wait a minute, Hey!, there's one up ahead
And the damn thing's open
Hello! Get in there!

Is my baby alive? (Is my baby alive?)
Is my baby alive? (Is my baby alive?)
Is my baby alive?
She Wango'd to death!


No, seriously, I didn't make it up ... those are ACTUALLY (most of) THE LYRICS TO THE TITLE TRACK OF HIS 1980 ALBUM "Wango Tango".

And Chucklenutz here ... likes to jump onstage and play music with this JOKE of a human being.

EDIT: Okay, so i just watched the video, and when they pan out to the audience ... all the graying folks ... I mean ... of the sort that would be at Faux taping of Mike Huckabee ... those people just had to be absolutely MORTIFIED at what they were hearing. Hilarious.

And truth told, I'd not be a BIT surprised if that wasn't the first time Chucklenutz ever actually heard the tune ... Ted's people probably just sent him over a chord chart before the taping, then unleashed that raunchy-ass shit on his show and took him completely by surprise.

Which, if it was like, The Stones, busting out Brown Sugar ... would've been awesome ... but since Ted's such a toolbag, and the song so STUPID, I can't even enjoy it for it's subversion value.

AFA the performance goes, his voice is total crap ... but I gotta say, that guitar tone is pretty friggin' sweet ... wouldn't mind having that rig ...

Seriously. I don't care if they sang 'Mary Has A Little Lamb'. Huckabee still stood up with a known racist and draft-dodging clown like it was a good thing.

He claimed no such thing in the interview with Jon Stewart a few days ago. After that interview, he realized that this incident was going to be a problem for his presidency run and needed to be addressed. So he decided, as all republicans do, to rewrite history and lie about it. What a FUCKIN' Liar !!
