1. Well, it's unclear as to who was who
but being compared to Netanyahu is no prize, either.

3. ESPN yanks Hank for comparing Obama to Hitler
Hank Williams Jr., the voice famous asking millions of football fans whether they’re ready for some football, has been pulled from tonight’s broadcast of “Monday Night Football” over a comment he made on Fox News this morning.

Williams, who sings the lead-in song to the game each week, criticized the president for his golf summit with House Speaker John Boehner this summer.

“It would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu,” Williams told “Fox & Friends.”

USA Today, among others, picked up the quote, speculating on whether the comparison would get Williams booted from the broadcast.

This afternoon, ESPN released a statement to the affirmative:

“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”

6. The URL contained a malformed video ID?
HAHAHAHAHA. That's a funny message!

I guess comparing Obama to Hitler was a real case of mistaken identity.

8. Yay ESPN!
The disrespect is bordering on insanity and any comparisons, the delusions of a frightened little mind.

Why alienate at the least, half the country? That's not a smart career move now is it?
