Nugent running for Governor of Michigan?

[LiviaOlivia]

Letter from JCGeneral to Nugent


Governor Theodore
Ted Nugent
China Spring, Texas

Dear Mr. Nugent :

I was delighted to see you announce your candidacy for Governor of Michigan this weekend. Overall, I thought you did a splendid job in getting your message across and defining your political philosophy in this, your inaugural interview as a gubernatorial candidate. Even so, I thought I could offer you some helpful pointers that will maximize the utility of future interviews.

Handling the Media

# When you announce your run for political office, consider doing so in a U.S. publication. While the readers of The Independent will, no doubt, become big boosters of your bid for Lansing, sadly, few of them will be eligible to vote in the Michigan election.

# When doing political interviews, it is probably best not to preemptively deny rumors…particularly when the reporter has no idea what you are talking about. For example, this exchange:

Nugent: "Neither did I poke my erect penis through a map of West Virginia - did you read that?"

Reporter: "No."

# During media interviews, refrain from teaching the journalist how to shoot an AK-47, and don’t pull out a hunting knife to trim your nails. These behaviors will not help with the urban vote.

# I cringing a little as I read the passage:

He fires at a Styrofoam bear using his weapon of choice, a traditional bow and arrow. "Straight through the heart... dead bear," says Ted, as his heavily pitted target submits to yet another onslaught. "Both lungs... dead bear." The arrows, which he makes himself, keep flying. "Dead bear... dead bear... dead bear."

1. He must be planning on doing a Santorum since he lives in Texas

am I wrong here? I thought he moved in 2004 to Texas?

5. This article says he moved to Crawford, TX

Because his wife was getting sick...

Actually, on edit, I see something in there Nugent says I actually respect...

"But it's up to we the people to constantly monitor and ask questions," he said. "I support those who ask questions and those who condemn (the war). ... It's silence I hate."

9. I guess he's pretty consistent when it comes to the 1st Amendment

You learn something new everyday, I guess.

2. That jack-ass "NEEDS" to stay put in Texas

[longship]

3. Good show

Split the Repug vote.

Granholm will benefit.

4. Good Lord. It will be good entertainment value anyway. n/t

6. If true, that's certainly a surprise to all of us here in Michigan

It would actually be nice if he'd run and help split up the Republican vote. Granholm would win in a cakewalk.

7. He's a republican for sure.. can't figure out where he lives..

I remember him bragging about how he MOVED to Texas...and was junior's neighbor..

This is the rub with wealthy folks who have multiple "homes"..they can (and often do) claim residency in whichever place "suits" them, depending on the circumstance..

Makes me wonder just how many times they actually VOTE too:shrug:
