Hank Williams Jr. NFL Football on ESPN, Fox and Friends
Bocephus Bites Back
“This country sure as hell been goin’ down the drain
We know what we need
We know who to blame
United Socialist States of America
How do ya like that name?
I’ll keep the USA and y’all can keep the change”
Hank Williams Jr. “Keep the Change” As everybody and their cousin knows by now, Hank Williams Jr. (Bocephus) was yanked as a spokesman for “Monday Night Football” by ESPN last week, because of some comments he made earlier in the day while appearing on “Fox and Friends.”
He said that seeing Obama and Boehner playing golf together was like watching Hitler and Netanyahu hitting the links—meaning that the ideological gulf between the two was immense. Oh no, no, no, you must not compare Obama to Hitler—or Stalin, or Mao, or Mussolini, or…or any of the other folks he reminds you of. You can be sure that the media and the liberal aristocracy will get their knickers into a twist something fierce if you do. Personally, I would have said that Obama and Boehner remind me of Hitler and Mussolini, but that’s just me—I don’t see the gulf between them as being all that wide. At any rate, all heck broke loose as a result of Bocephus’s comments—as it always does when anyone hints at the truth from a public platform.
It is no secret that the owners in the NFL tend to be quite liberal. Knowing how liberal the owners are, and knowing how liberal the media is, it comes as no surprise that they would come down hard on Hank Jr.
Nor does it come as a surprise that Bocephus is hitting back. Hank Jr. released his song “Keep the Change” last Friday, and it does not pull any punches. I guess I’ll change my pistol-range night to Monday, seeing as I won’t be watching football that night anymore. I’ll make do—a country boy can survive.
Laus Deo.
