5 Feet of Fury

‘Taming the Wild Nugent’

Jim Goad:

[H]e came out of a meeting with the Secret Service last week purring like a cat. “I’m havin’ the time of my life,” he told an interviewer. “They work for me. I pay their salaries, and I mean that seriously….So when you say Secret Service, all I can do is get a big grin on my face and realize that we’ll either be shooting some taxpayer ammo at targets or we’ll be eating barbecue.”

If anything, Ted’s scandal may have taken some heat off the Secret Service for their own hooker scandal. (…)

To my knowledge, none of Ted Nugent’s guns has killed a human being, but at least one American—Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry—was killed with guns given to Mexican cartels as part of Fast and Furious.

I find it refreshing that he’s at least making an attempt to be macho. As things stand, we have neutered, bespectacled, agreeable, compliant statist prog-frogs who look like this calling Nugent a “coward.” The government seems as if it wants all males, at least the white ones, to look like they write for Gawker.
