Hank Williams Jr. to run for U.S. Senate (Shut up and sing!)

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Just when you thought no worthwhile musician would ever support the Republican Party, Hank Williams Jr. comes a courtin'.

After consulting with Tennessee political veterans ex-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), the award-winning country singer famous for the hits "Family Tradition" and "There's a Tear in My Beer" is positioning himself for a Senate run in 2012, according to Townhall.com.

1. More like "stagger" than "run"

[Robb]

2. Good. He's an idiot and a jackass

...with more than his share of tour bus wreckage to dig up, I'm sure.

Run, junior. :D

[jody]

3. He's as qualified as any other person in today's U.S. Senate. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. CELEBRITIES NEED TO KEEP THEIR FUCKIN MOUTHS SHUT !!!11!!!

WHAT? HES ONE OF OURS?? OH WELL THATS DIFFRUNT THEN. BOCEPHUS FOR SENIT!!11!!!!1!1 YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAW!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. !!

:spray:

[tularetom]

5. At the rate he's going he won't have a functioning brain cell left by 2012

But it might be good for a few laughs to see the stupid slob make even more of an ass of himself.

[BOSSHOG]

6. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME DUMBASS??

[Lubernaut]

8. Tee hee!

Thank you for that one.

[Phred42]

29. LOL - Perfect..... Palin- Beau-see-fuss 2012

:rofl:


For the Dummass Vote.

[panader0]

7. I was embarrassed for him when I saw him on stage with Palin.

This would be even more embarrassing.

[1Hippiechick]

18. Ditto. Did you happen to hear him sing? Ouch! I asked hubby, "Is he trying to make a comeback?"

[Taverner]

9. What? Do we have an outbreak of stupid going on in the GOP?

[Idealism]

12. We've been experiancing this first hand for the past 8 years, where have you been?

[Taverner]

15. The past 8 years the GOP has been stupid

Yeah

But lately - with choosing Palin and now this - their case of stupid has become acute

[Radical Activist]

10. Time to recruit Tim McGraw to run against him.

[TransitJohn]

11. "Are you ready for some Senate?"

"A D.C. night party!"

[polichick]

13. Jeez, the length these people will go just for a squeeze from Psycho Sarah!

[onenote]

14. Is Bob Corker retiring?

Are Frist and Alexander throwing the junior senator from TN under the bus with four years left in his term? That's insane even by repub standards.

[TheCML]

16. He stinks.

His dad was wonderful and his son is great too. Hank Jr on the other hand has always sucked.

[Kalyke]

17. Oh Good God.

I live in Tennessee. What a fucking nightmare.

Can we sink any further?

I'm so sorry. :cry:

Maybe I can get Annie Potts or Samuel L. Jackson or Morgan Freeman or Dolly Parton or Kathy Bates to run as a Democrat. :think: They are all from here (and I Jackson, Freeman and Parton still live here!)

[1Hippiechick]

19. Oo-oo-oo--Kathy Bates would be great! n/t

[Bicoastal]

24. Samuel L Jackson for Senator!

"I've had it with these MUTHAFUCKING Republicans in this MUTHAFUCKING Congress!!"

[jpak]

20. He's angling for a taxpayer funded liver transplant that's all

asshole

[Lint Head]

21. I can't wait for someone to bring up his cocaine use.

He is an ignorant boob with money.
What a waste of time he will be. Go ahead GOP. Hank Williams Jr will be Mr Death come to visit your party.

I can't wait. I know folks that want to weigh in if this SOB tries to do anything to this precious country and it's Constitution.
The only reason he backed Palin is because he thought he could 'bed' her. I can imagine, Reporter: One question Mr Williams. Have you had sex with women other than your wife? Williams: Is that plural? You mean more than one?

It would be better than watching Palin crash.

:dem:

[KamaAina]

22. Silly old Hank Junior may be running to the right...

But all my rowdy friends vote Dem on Tuesday night! :P

edit: smilie

[DefenseLawyer]

23. Excellent!

We need more high school dropouts running for office under the Republican banner.

[Old and In the Way]

25. Ted Nugent will probably be the next Republican celebrity to run.

Without name recognition they'd have nothing else to run on. What a joke the GOP is turning into.

[lib2DaBone]

31. Amen. Ted Nugent eating raw squirrel meat and munching on his own feces...

[Bobbie Jo]

26. Hank..."Why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?"

:shrug:

[lib2DaBone]

27. fuckin' spare us all.. spit some beechnut in that dude's eye...

[NNN0LHI]

28. I suspect he was porking Ms. Palin

Won't it be a hoot when the Enquirer breaks that story?
