From the Sporting News report on the exchange between Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade and Hank Williams Jr.:
Kilmeade asked who the enemy is. Williams shot back: “Obama! And (Vice President Joe) Biden! Are you kidding? The Three Stooges.”
Politics aside, I think Hank Jr. definitely needs to work on his arithmetic.
Well, when you've been drinking, sometimes two can look like three.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseYup...and even then these two are more like Shemp and Curly Joe.

"Hank Williams Jr. was not be featured on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" telecast"
"Was not be featured"? Grammar fail too.
Reply to this commentLinkReport Abusethose two are stupid enough to be 3. or maybe it was the biden 3 letter word math.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseJust so we are clear, it is perfectly OK for Obama to speak like this.
I still don't watch the girlishly named "Football Night in America" (NBC) because they let no-talent, liberal hack, Keith Olberman on the show. (and wrecked my Sunday nights by killing NFL Primetime and replacing it with that chickified NBC show)
They probably wanted to get rid of Hank anyway in order to get Snora Jones to sing the intro...in keeping with the NFL's willing up of the broadcasts.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHow right you are. The President has accused Gov. Brewer, Arizona law enforcement officers and any American citizen who supports enforcement of our immigration laws of bigotry, but I don't think anyone has suggested that he be yanked from the White House because of his outrageous and dishonest criticism.

You sure?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIn that case, can I be first?
Yeah, but the Veep says J-O-B-S is a simple 3 letter word.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseMust watch video. Complete freak show. I thought it was a SNL skit.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThis is one more reason not to watch Monday Night Football. If the NFL has room for Keith Olbermann and a wide range of outspoken, far left team owners, coaches and players, I don't understand why it has no room for Rush Limbaugh and Hank Williams, Jr. Williams didn't compare President Obama to Hitler, he compared the relationship between the President and Speaker Boehner to a mythical relationship between Hitler and Netanyahu. In other words, the two politicians don't like one another and the "friendly" golf outing was staged for public consumption. When did it become more popular to cave in to political correctness than be courageous and stand up for a principle? Professional football is the most recent American tradition to be tainted by liberal politics.
Reply to this commentLinkReport Abuse"In other words, the two politicians don't like one another and the "friendly" golf outing was staged for public consumption."
This is 100% accurate. He was just naming two historical figures who would hate each other. But he said the H-word, and later on, he criticized The One, and we just can't have that.
You should really listen to the interview. It's ridiculous how much he was egged on. He initially mocked the golf outing briefly, and then was asked about it three more times. Fox knew they had a guy who was bound to say something stupid eventually. And they were right.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSome things just beg to to be explained. Please do so with "far left team-owners".
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWell, basically the team owners are all just welfare recipients sucking off the public teet. Like the majority of dimocrats. Isn't that what you meant?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhile I haven’t researched the political contribution history of every NFL owner, as a Hoosier I am familiar with the political contributions of Colts owner, Jim Irsay. While he contributes equally to Republican and Democratic national committees, his Federal Election Campaign Contribution Report indicates that he has contributed to more liberal Democratic candidates than he has to Republican candidates, both in Indiana and elsewhere. For instance, prior to the 2010 mid-term elections, Irsay donated to Democrats Harry Reid (D-NV), Edolphus Towns (D-NY), Baron Hill (D-IN) and Andre Carson (D-IN). He did not donate to a single Republican candidate.
You might recall that Andre Carson, a far left politician known for making outrageous and dishonest comments about his political opponents, recently made headlines when he claimed his conservative colleagues in Congress, as well as Tea Party advocates, consider black Americans to be second class citizens and would love to seem them swinging from a tree. Why would anyone - particularly an NFL team owner in a mostly-red state - support a hateful politician like Andre Carson if he disagrees with his politics? As for the political correctness aspect of my analysis, Jim Irsay vehemently opposed Rush Limbaugh’s bid to purchase a minority interest in the St. Louis Rams, but had no problem with Keith Olbermann’s role on Sunday Night Football.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThat clears it all up. A quick check shows that Irsay gives most generously to Gridiron PAC, which then doles out money mostly to incumbents anywhere who will vote NFL-centric in their legislatures. He did indeed give money to Reid, Towns, and Towns, and Hill. He also gives money to Dick Lugar. You forgot to add that one, but then again, in today's conservative mindset, Lugar is basically a commie. And he gives money in generally equal amounts to various Dem and Rep election committees. Looks to me like a guy who covers his bets. Still, you identifying one guy who sees that both parties get money (though, you are correct that the Dems have an edge in this case) and that allows you to write about "far-left NFL owners"? With extrapolation powers like that, you should consider writing directly for NRO. Stop wasting you talent writing free letters.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseEither you don't read and comprehend well or you intentionally misrepresented what I said. Richard Lugar didn't run for re-election in 2010, which is the election I referenced. Irsay contributed to Lugar's primary campaign in 2010, but did not donate to his general election campaign in 2006. His monetary support that year went to Democrat Evan Bayh. We'll see if he does the same thing this time around. Donates to Lugar in the primary and the Democrat in the general.
If Irsay is a mainstream NFL owner who covers his political bases, why did he donate to a far left hater like Andre Carson and other Democrats in 2010, but not a single Republican? And why did he take the position there is no place for a divisive political guy like Limbaugh in the NFL, even as a minority owner, but yet had no problem with Olbermann as a major player on Sunday Night Football? If you consider that equal political treatment, then we'll have to agree to disagree.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseJenna, your attempt to draw an equivalency between the Olbermann and Limbaugh matters is just plain stupid. There is a world of difference between considering a potential ownership bid--a more or less permanent, equal partner to the other owners--and a TV personality on one of the 200 shows devoted to pro football.
NFL ownership is one of the most exclusive, and profitable, clubs in America. They want new members to be stable, sober-minded, and controversy-averse, to avoid killing the golden goose. There is an obvious reason that Mark Cuban is an NBA, not an NFL, owner.
Rush Limbaugh has been married about 11 times, has a history of drug addiction, and is a threat to generate controversy every time he goes on the air. Does that sound like a stable partner you'd want to be in business with?
Olbermann, by contrast, has a minor role on a weekly telecast, and can be fired anytime he generates controversy.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSorry Jenna, no "agree to disagree" cop out. You stated, simply and clearly, that there existed a "wide range of outspoken, far left team owners, coaches and players". I asked for example(s). You gave me Jim Irsay. The record simply does not support that he is "far left", even if, while giving more to Dick Lugar, he gave $1,000 to a "far left hater". I asked you for examples and you could not back it up. By the way, you should lose "far left". Makes you read like Bill O'Reilly. With overuse, it means little but "folks I disagree with".
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHey, give Hank a break! After all, he spends a lot of time on the road, performing in all 57 states! But maybe it was a case of Barack, Joe, and Adolph makes three?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI'm with Hope E. Changey. If Obama can be off by 7 on the number of states, I can let Hank slide being off by 1 on incompetents in the WH.
