And, ratty cowboy boots. But, he is wearing a jacket and tie.


On edit, I take that back. No tie. From Ed Schultz's Facebook page:

He can wear all the Confederate flags and fringes leather he wants to, Nugent is just another city boy trying to fit in with the droolers who pay to see him at bowling alleys and county fairs.

I wear jeans all the time, and I would if I was a guest at a SOTU speech.

There is no real "dress code," granted, outlandish or attention-getting clothes are not allowed.
But just make sure Ted keeps his big mouth shut, quit being so petty about whether he's wearing jeans or not.

I even wear jeans to church. (Funerals.)

Someone orders me to wear a suit and tie, unless there is a damn good reason for doing it, I'll say "Fuck that."

I dress casual but decent.

Besides, Hitler always wore a suit and tie!

Is there a rule?

Probably not.

Is this an occasion where jeans are appropriate?


A couple hundred years of tradition would suggest NO

I'd want to be comfortable watching that speech.

I don't give a damn if "tradition" says "suit and tie."

that funerals are for the living. What you were coming off as is "I don't have enough respect for your grief or the dead to put on a decent pair of pants."

Pretty much the same message Turd Nugget was attempting to send tonight.

36. Show up at a biker funeral in a three piece and you are the misfit not showing respect
Wed Feb 13, 2013, 06:12 AM
Feb 2013

If a family member of mine dies and I'm worried about what people are wearing at the funeral then my priorities are pretty fucked up.

Just be glad someone showed up to support you, what their wrappings are is unimportant.

Don't judge the book by the cover, consider that bikers who would show up to a funeral in t shirts and jeans also blocked Westboro assholes from grieving families.

http://samuel-warde.com/2012/12/bikers-block-westboro-baptist-church/

A group of bikers blocked Westboro Baptist Church from picketing the Newtown funerals.

The Twittersphere has erupted with tweets and Anonymous has posted a description of the action on their Facebook page. Huffington Post reported on December 19 that “good samaritan” motorcyclists, Angel Action, were ready to counter Westboro in Woodbury, Conn. “All these guys see us and think we’re bad. We’re not. It’s solidarity, is what it is,” New York native Jim Hannigan told Newtown Patch. “I just felt I had to be here.”

His goatee has seen more bodily waste than most people's pubes.

He once tried to behave tastefully and failed.

His ego is expanding faster than the universe.

He is Ted Nugent, the Most Douchey Man in the World!

I don't always drink beer - I'd rather drink whiskey and puke it up on your carpet.

Stay douchey, my friends.
