Hank Williams, Jr, a frequent guest on FOX News Fox & Friends, was on again last week and had some fiery commentary. Take a listen:
Bocephus, always one to speak his mind, due to an ill conceived analogy, has been booted from ESPN's Monday Night Football introduction (filmed here locally), where he has excelled for 20 seasons. Recently, ESPN golf analyst and former champion Paul Azinger was recently scolded by ESPN brass for accurately commenting on Obama's work ethic. ESPN does not tolerate harsh commentary toward political figures; unless they are named Palin.
So much for freedom of speech. Certainly, corporations have every right to employ whomever they want, but it is appropriate to point out the astounding hypocrisy where applicable.
I watch FOX & Friends most days. Gretchen Carlson is great, and Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy are adequate when they are serious. Both are closet comedians, and neither is remotely good.
Over on ESPN, without question, I have recently appreciated some fine work on some of the 30 for 30 documentaries and love the college football coverage, even taking in ESPN College Gameday, sponsored by The Home Depot, live just a few weeks ago. However, I gave up on most of ESPN moons ago, as I was turned off by many things inclusive of former anchor Robin Roberts "get on with your bad self", although a mutual friend says she is a very nice person. Michelle Obama is even getting favorable publicity Laura Bush never dreamed of, both on Disney Channel and ESPN.
Hank is royal pissed at them all, with good reason I think. Sugar coating the thugocracy otherwise known as the Obama administration is no longer possible, for Uncle Sam is on the brink, as we note frequently here on the blog. It is time to pick sides, and stand in the line of fire with those who stand with freedom and the free market principles this country was founded on. Freedom is not free, as Bocephus is finding out.
Bocephus has released a new tune in response to the ordeal, and he and his rowdy friends blast all involved.
Don't tread on us! As Hank says, us Country Folks Can Survive!
