OK guys – I’ve put Mr. Peabody’s Wayback machine inside the iso chamber, so we can fly back to a better time – a simpler time – a time when there were still “Our Sarah For President” signs.
Here we go! First up –Are you ready for some FUBO???
ESPN pulls Hank Williams Jr. after he compares Obama to Hitler

Hank Williams Jr., the singer whose various videos for the hit song “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Monday Night” has served as the intro to “Monday Night Football” for 23 seasons, compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler during a Monday morning appearance on “Fox and Friends.” The statement led to ESPN pulling his popular intro segment, best known to fans for its “Are you ready for some football?” ending, for Monday night’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
During a discussion on the 2012 presidential race, Williams began discussing Obama’s golf outing with Speaker of the House John Boehner. He said it was a political mistake, on par with “Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.”
He’s a undercover agent for the FBI
And he’s been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!”
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for President.”
“Well he’s a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
I betchya he’s even got a commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.”
To: JustahamI heard about Bush being ‘hitler’ for years. Someone says it from the other angle? Fired.NFL expect repercussions.
To: JustahamHank shouldn’t be working for those light in the loafers fairies at ESPN anyway. He’s better off.

To: JustahamActually he never compared Obama to Hitler. What he said was Boehner and Obama Golfing was like Hitler and Netanyahu golfing. In other words, you could not find two more diametrically opposed people to play golf. He was no more likening Obama to Hitler than he was calling Boehner Netanyahu, ( which wouldnt even make sense asBoehner on his best day couldn’t even polish Bibi’s shoes.)
Well, “Bibi” has your spittle to do that with, doesn’t he?
Stupid Gretchen Carlson and Stupid Stupid ESPN.Oh well two less things that I don’t watch that I will now avoid even more.

To: JustahamCould sports be more racist?
It’s all gone downhill since they started letting the coloreds in.
It’s sickening. It was Gretchen or someone who made something out of that question. I knew the minute she emphasized it that he was out.
Bocephus is gay?
He went on the show to publicize some newly discovered music by his father that’s out now on TV but they had to delve into politics.
Maybe you could tell him to shut up and sing?
I think this is kinda sad.
To: PrkChpsWe’ve decided to BOYCOTT MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL for the rest of the season! Support Hank Williams Jr and BOYCOTT MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!
We need our troops here in America, not only to secure our borders and fellow Americans, but secure us from the oppressive government we now have.
They don’t seem to understand that the government controls the military, do they?
Your Onion link is broked.
Other than that, brilliant as ever. 🙂

Minor correction. As we all learned from Mittens in Saturday’s debate, Bibi’s last name is actually Not-On-Yahoo, not Netanyahu.
Am I the only person who wonders about the “57 state victory” that Our Sarah would have won? What, pray tell, are the other seven states?
Thanks as usual, TT! BTW, the Cincinnati Zoo has a cat ambassador cheetah that appears to be your namesake. He was born at the zoo with their cheetah breeding program. http://cincinnatizoo.org/cheetahdays
Anyway, Jude, besides the obvious logical fallacy you point out, they also forget that the Posse Comitatus Act severely limits what the Army can do at home. The Navy and Marines are prohibited by DoD order from operating at home ( though can you imagine an Ohio class sub popping up in McCovey Cove during a game with some kayaker on its mast? ).
ANY group with power tends to abuse it at some point. Politicians, military, judges, law enforcement, teachers, bosses, boat captains, carnies, den mothers, and car salesmen have all abused power. Simply taking it from one group and giving it to another doesn’t solve anything. The only thing that keeps it in check is a participatory democracy, not allegiance to an ideology. An ideology is fine, but it isn’t the magic that makes the country work – citizen participation does.
Just to sum it all up… I have no idea what (the real, not Jr.) Hank Williams’ politics were, if he had any (he died at age 29), but through the benefit of the Wayback Machine we can now observe that Hank was actually writing theme songs for this cycle’s crop of GOP candidates. I’ve tried to match them up as best I can, but any help would be appreciated.
Mitt Romney =Cold, Cold Heart:
Newt Gingrich =Move it on Over:
Sarah Palin =Your Cheating Heart:
Michele Bachmann =Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain:
Rick Perry =You Win Again:
Herman Cain =I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow:
Ron Paul =Mind Your Own Business:
Jon Huntsman =Kaw-liga:
Santorum =I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry:
And then, for the entire field of not-Mitts, Hank hasWhy Don’t You Love Me (Like You Used to Do):

Kibitzer for the win!
