				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hank Williams, Jr. has a message for people who want to play golf with John Boehner: <strong>YOU&#8217;RE HITLER!</strong></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1eF6vCv13bw" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p><em>(speaking on John Boehner playing golf with Obama, starting at 1:10)</em></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Gretchen Carlson:</strong> &#8220;You mean when John Boehner played golf with President Obama?&#8221;<br />
<strong>Hank Jr:</strong> &#8220;OHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH! And Biden, and [Ohio Governor John] Kasich&#8230;yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah.&#8221;<br />
<strong>Gretchen Carlson:</strong> &#8220;What did you not like about it? It seems to be a really pivotal moment for you.&#8221;<br />
<strong>Hank Jr.:</strong> &#8220;C&#8217;MON, C&#8217;MON! It&#8217;d be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu, okay? In the country this shape is in&#8212;in the shape this country is in?!&#8221;<br />
[Panel sits in stunned silence]<br />
<strong>Brian Kilmeade:</strong> &#8220;&#8230;I don&#8217;t understand that analogy, actually.&#8221;<br />
<strong>Hank, Jr.:</strong> &#8220;Well I&#8217;m glad you don&#8217;t, brother, because a lot of people do.You know, they&#8217;re the enemy. They&#8217;re the enemy!&#8221;<br />
<strong>Kilmeade:</strong> &#8220;Who&#8217;s the enemy?&#8221;<br />
<strong>Hank, Jr.:</strong> &#8220;Uh&#8230;OBAMA!!! And Biden! Are you kiddin&#8217;? The Three Stooges!&#8221;<br />
<strong>Steve Doocy:</strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s only two&#8230;&#8221;<br />
<strong>Hank, Jr.:</strong> &#8220;The one that makes sense is Herman Cain. Herman Cain&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8230;<br />
<strong>Gretchen Carlson:</strong> &#8220;You used the name of one of the most hated people in all of the world to describe, I think, the President?&#8221;<br />
<strong>Hank Jr.:</strong> &#8220;Well, that is true. But I&#8217;m telling you like it is.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Hank Jr. is a straight shooter who will tell you like it is! So <a href="http://http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31751_162-20115065-10391697.html">ESPN told him like it is and pulled his stalwart &#8220;All My Rowdy Friends&#8221; intro from their Monday Night Football telecast</a>, which has been a part of Monday Nights in the Fall since Monday Night Football was still the NFL&#8217;s flagship program and aired on parent network ABC.</p>
<p>I think I get where he&#8217;s coming from, though. Remember when Hitler tried to pass health care in Israel?</p>
<p>&#8230;uh, yeah. I always preferred his father and son (<a href="http://www.hank3.com">Hank III</a>) anyway. But, in honor of Hank Jr., let&#8217;s sing it one more time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kevinmarshallonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Hank-Jr.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6264" title="Hank Jr" src="http://www.kevinmarshallonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Hank-Jr.jpg" alt="" width="358" height="209" /></a></p>
<p>ARE YA READY FOR SOME GOLFIN&#8217;?<br />
IT&#8217;S A BIG NAZI PARTY!<br />
WE&#8217;VE GOT OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN<br />
BOEHNER, GET IT KICK STARTED<br />
GONNA MAKE A BAD ANALOGY AND INSIST THAT I&#8217;M RIGHT,<br />
ALL MY NAZI FRIENDS ARE PLAYIN&#8217; GOLF TONIGHT!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if Michael Vick was white? Then his dog-fighting stuff would be okay, wouldn&#8217;t it? Because there&#8217;s no white NFL player (MUST IGNORE BEN ROETHLISBERGER) who draws such ire from fans. But this is pointless, because race isn&#8217;t a factor.</p>
<p>If that previous paragraph reads like some of the dumbest s*** in history, that&#8217;s because it is, and it comes courtesy of &#8211; SURPRISE &#8211; ESPN, who allowed a feature on its site called &#8220;<a href="http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/id/6894586/imagining-michael-vick-white-quarterback-nfl-espn-magazine" target="_blank">What if Michael Vick Was White</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Between Times Union blogs and the rest of the internet, I&#8217;ve read some desperately reaching piles of offensively dense crap in my day. But this tops it all.</p>
<p>Kudos to you, ESPN. You just outdumbed the Internet.</p>
