Random Thoughts After a Rough Week: Tom Brokaw said that, because of the lax gun laws in Arizona, “I would be nervous about going into a bar or restaurant in Arizona…” Congratulations, Arizona. Tom Brokaw spent a lot of time in foreign war zones. Now he’s afraid to go to an Applebee’s in Phoenix.
Newly convicted Tom DeLay says “I was tried in the most liberal county in Texas, indeed in the United States.” If Tom DeLay thinks that any county in Texas is the most liberal county in the United States, it just proves that he has never been to the United States.
It’s time for Sarah Palin to regroup. And she’s going to have to find a way to do that without using the term “reload.” I don’t think she can do it. Sarah Palin without the gun imagery is like KISS without the makeup. Her die-hard fans just won’t accept it. She’s not a politician; she’s just a shock pundit. Sarah Palin is now the female Ann Coulter.
Ted Nugent has written a newspaper op-ed. Oh, my mistake. It’s not a newspaper, it’s the Washington Times. Nugent calls for conservatives to “turn up the rhetoric.” I guess conservative rhetoric is like Ted Nugent’s music—if it’s not really, really loud, it’s easy to hear how much it sucks. But hey, Ted, we still love Journey to the Center of the Mind.
Vickie Lawrence has recorded a nasty attack on Ted Williams, the golden-voiced homeless man. If you’ve never heard of Vickie Lawrence… well that probably explains why she’s so mad. She was “Mama” on the Carol Burnett Show and “Mama’s Family.” Mama was a crotchety old lady. Talk about growing into your role! So, Vickie—you’ve been doing the same schtick for 40 years, and you can’t figure out why you’re not getting booked? You shouldn’t be complaining. You should be forming a support group with Yakov Smirnoff. Maybe it’s time for you to remove yourself completely from the public eye. And by that, I mean, go work in Branson, MO.
