If you've got a moment, go here and watch the derp scroll by:

People claiming it's going to be the end of ESPN, the network will fold, it's fascism..my god. Sweet, sweet tears.

He's a much sicker fuck than I ever knew. Fucking hate-filled asshole.

3. I could never figure out why he and Waylon were friends...

Waylon was as Dem as they come.

[joshcryer]

8. Love top comment: Hank Williams' Jr is the way the world views Americans as a whole. Isn't that sad?

[Whisp]

27. he's drunk

[Erose999]

30. Drunk in the morning. Probably dopesick too with the sunglasses and crossed arms.

I'm amazed that Gretchen put in the disclaimer at the end of the segment.

[OhioBlue]

2. good lord - what drama... you would think Hank was their Daddy

He made a tasteless remark that ESPN didn't want to be associated with so they didn't play his outdated song. BFD.

[Dawson Leery]

4. Let us recall the manner in which the Dixie Chicks were

treated by country radio, country fans, and their fellow country artists after the infamous comment on the eve of the Iraq War.

Add to that, The Beatles, who were forced off of their tour due to safety concerns.

5. I thought Republicans were the believers of "Shut up and sing!"...

...Damn hypocrites.

[kwolf68]

6. Im arguing about this now

On Facebook.

I have so little respect for these people...they are so hypocritical. Many are my friends, but I can barely tolerate their stupidity.

[MADem]

17. Only a TRAITOR would call the Commander in Chief of our brave troops fighting in

Afghanistan and other places around the world, who caught Bin Ladin, THE ENEMY!!

Little ole talking point for ya....

[tnlefty]

31. Except in his case I wish he would just shut up...

I'd prefer to hear a cat in heat.

[Historic NY]

7. Hank & Poopy Pants Nugent cut from the same cloth dumb as stumps.

[Bake]

32. And just about equally "talented"

And I use that term loosely. Very loosely.

9. ROFL

10. Hank hates everyone...

and I mean everyone, including himself and his fans. He's nothing but a useless drunk. His live "performances" consist of him drunkenly ranting or slurring through a couple songs while he stares at his watch looking for the "go" time. Go time is the amount of time on his contract that he has to play before being paid. If his contract says he only has to play 30 minutes before he gets paid you get a 30 minute show.

[Major Nikon]

16. Hard to imagine someone paying to see him anyway

He has always sucked and simply lives off his dad's name. Surprisingly his son isn't bad at all. I guess talent sometimes skips a generation.

[Erose999]

20. Hank III didn't even start using the family name until he absolutely had to to support his own kid.

Hank Jr. bailed on him at the age of 3, and only made the minimum child support payments.

I've always seen Jr's act as a "safe for television" imitation of David Allen Coe. But without DAC's humility or talent.

[Major Nikon]

21. I saw DAC live once

It was a huge letdown. There was very little singing and what little of it there was sucked. Mostly it was just him staggering around on stage a bit, then going backstage with his groupies. I'm sure he must have done some good concerts at some point, I just never got to see one.

[patrice]

23. More proof that the American merit -ocracy is a LIE. nt

[JackDragna]

11. Man, sure love to talk to people unreccing this.

Are you just the random, nameless righties who never post? Dear God.

[Poll_Blind]

12. I just cancelled one of the unrecs out, anyway.

I kind of hoped whoever did unrec it was a huge HW/Monday Night football fan to the point that in the middle of kicking apart their wax and beard hair shrine to all things HW, they popped on DU briefly enough to register, unrec, and went back to lighting their curtains on fire or however they salve the pain. The dogs have got the most sense, they ran over to the neighbor's property and the firemen'll be figuring out which one of them they want to adopt tomorrow morning.

13. +100 internets for you!

HAHAHAHAH!

[Tx4obama]

14. Here's a LINK to a video clip of SENATOR Obama doing an opening for MNF

Barack Obama on Monday Night Football (2006?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmWlrtpqp40

p.s. They should replace Hank's song with stuff like this - have something/somebody 'new' every week :)

[Major Nikon]

15. Good ridance

I always hated seeing his dumb ass on MNF.

[spanone]

18. k&r...education, america. education.

we are falling waaaay behind.

[eppur_se_muova]

19. "watch the derp scroll by" ... priceless !!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[a kennedy]

22. These comments sound exactly like what comes out of my neighbors mouths....

UGH..... and I live in middle America....Southeastern Minnesota.....home of Paul Wellstone. :cry: :cry: :cry:

edit: correction for clarification.

[DLine]

24. Saw Hank in concert about 12 years ago

He was drunk and slurred through the whole show as he got drunker. Not that all the other drunk rednecks there cared. Me on the other hand, I was stoned. So his slurring was actually just the right tempo for me.

[countryjake]

25. Whew, well that was fun! Feel like I've been wrestling in a mud pit...

now they are all going to cancel their ESPN packages, boycott, quit watching football?

My god, I imagine the DV incidents will spike this Fall...what happens when a rightwing-nut is deprived of his favorite pastime?

The posters on there are foaming at the mouth!

[provis99]

26. "Most Republicans are closet Racist possum".

I'm not even sure what that means, but I think I like it.

[JackDragna]

28. Self-kick for the morning crowd!

You need to share in this goodness. Go, watch and laugh.

[JoePhilly]

29. That's hilaroius.
