Secret Service issues statement: "The (Nugent) issue has been resolved."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Just now as a "Breaking News" alert on Fox. That's it...the whole statement.

[Rambis]

1. Did they shoot his ass?

[RebelOne]

4. Don't we wish they did? n/t

[toddwv]

20. I was hoping for the words "Ted Nugent" and "tazered"

to be used in any press release stemming from his asinine statements...

[Junkdrawer]

2. When will they release the mug shot?

or is this another IOKIYAR moment?

[Cleita]

6. It's another IOKIYAR moment. n/t

[Ian David]

3. Are you famous? Are you rich? Are you Republican? Okay, we're good here. n/t

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. You're probably close...

...someone on TV predicted this morning that the Secret Service "would probably ask him three routine questions and then spend an hour shooting the shit, because they love this guy." Don;t remember who said that...it was on one of the morning new shows.

[Cleita]

5. Figures. I already predicted he was going to get no more than a slap on the wrist.

Maybe they scared him a bit about making violent statements in public.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. That's nice.

I'm sure he'll tone down is language for a little while. Nothing is going to change the core of stupid in him though. Nothing.

[Ecumenist]

13. Well, as a famous comedian says: Near sighted? Lasix can fix that. Crooked teeth?

Braces and Invisiline can fix that. Face a bit droopy? Facelift can fix that BUT you CAN'T.FIX.STUPID!

[lumberjack_jeff]

8. If the resolution doesn't include waterboarding and indefinite detention...

I find it unsatisfying.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Was he proclaimed to be just another NRA asshole?

That's pretty severe.

[CJCRANE]

10. By this time next year

Ted Nugent will still be an idiot.

[Zalatix]

11. WHAT?!!! Noooo! I'm shocked! Surprised, I tells ya.

[russspeakeasy]

12. He has probably been pissing and shitting himself for the last month

in prep for their visit. Just like he did with the draft board.

[shcrane71]

14. Oh, what a relief.

Thanks for keeping the US public well informed, Faux News.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. :plonk:

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. Well, you were right on the money on that one

Makes you wonder why they had a sit-down at all, other than "going through the motions."

[lastlib]

16. But we can still publicize it! Make TN's life miserable!

And shout it until the public thinks he and Rmoney are joined at the hip.

Who says Rmoney doesn't care about poor people? There's not a poorer human being than Ted Nugent!

[just1voice]

17. Why should anyone believe anything "Fox" says?

Seriously, Faux lies their asses off every second of every day and has for years, how can anything be believed that was broadcast there?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. WaPo

A Secret Service spokesman told the Washington Post that after the interview, "the issue has been resolved," and the agency "does not anticipate any further action."

It has nothing to do with Fox. The statement came from the Secret Service.

[DefenseLawyer]

22. I'm fine with that.

Due diligence, i.e. going through the motions, followed by a short, vague statement that puts the matter to bed as far as the President is concerned. It clearly wasn't a credible threat, although it made him look like the asshole he is. If you do more than that we would spend months hearing about how the President is going after his political enemies and yadda yadda yadda. If they comment more about it, it makes Nugent look like a baddass or a martyr to his fellow loonies. If they did nothing it would look like they were afraid to "take on the Nuge". The right really gets no satisfaction here and Nugent pushes himself even further to the fringe among normal people.

[spanone]

25. exactly...

[ck4829]

23. I.E. They walked in, smelled the stench of his pants, and walked back out

[slackmaster]

24. I'd wager a princely sum that the conversation went as I posted this morning...

SS: "Mr. Nugent, were your remarks intended as a threat to the President?"

TN: "No."

SS: "OK, just don't let it happen again.

[fascisthunter]

26. what they do, give him a butt plug?

[Ship of Fools]

27. Quelle surprise.

[bluestateguy]

28. Oh splendid. Where can I find the mug shot from his arrest?

Anyone who can provide that, that would be appreciated.

[mikeSchmuckabee]

29. Now, quick, to the whorehouse!

ted, they're holding a 12 year old for you.
